I contacted Joni Salomon for a grandparent's rights case, which did not go well for me because Joni lied to the Judge and told him I would pay the other person's fees, which were minor counsel fees for my grandson to have an attorney when I specifically told her I did not want to pay and she stated after she had made that decision in court that day if I did not pay they would drop my case so I paid. Her actions were intentional, and I fired her because she did not listen to me and started to avoid phone calls during a time when it was important to keep your client up to date before court hearings. For that whole year of 2023, she showed up remotely for court hearings, and at the last court hearing, I was done with her BS. My first impression of Joni, when I gave her my fees two days before Christmas, was that she would help me, but when she lied and said she would send over the engagement letter, I never got it until I contacted her on December 29, 2023, I should have requested my money back and went to another lawyer which I end up doing in the long run. I filed a complaint with the State Bar, and it was dismissed due to a lack of evidence on January 28, 2028. All I can say is I have learned my lesson: NEVER GIVE YOUR MONEY TO A LAWYER who does not listen to you at the beginning of your case and run like hell if they start to avoid calls after getting your funds to do a job. I was not sure if I wanted to do a review for Joni Salomon, but I feel people need to know what I experienced so this won't happen to anyone else. Ask questions, and do not give your money unless the attorney will be honest with you. Integrity, Honesty, and Loyalty are important when hiring a lawyer. read more
