I hired attorney Allen Al-Zouhayli in a family law crisis that I'm being abused through the courts with. Allen formed an inappropriate trauma bond with me, used me as his therapist, divulged too much information about his wife to me, promised me the justice I deserved. He withdrew blaming me for the emotions in this case, the fact he thought about it day in and day out, withdrew before a holiday weekend before an important court date, I'd originally hoped he would be in court with me on. I used to be severely debilitated, have only been fully able bodied for a few years. Allen couldn't cope with my open vulnerability or authenticity. He took advantage of my kind nature, projected all of his unresolved trauma onto me, while acting like he was going to really help me with my case, up until he withdrew. I will never forget how Allen did all of this hiding behind empathy, pretending to understand the breakdown of the relationship with my previous attorney. I was completely ripped off by Allen. I am disgusted how Allen hid behind empathy to.prey upon me in my severe grief,, after everything I have been through. Absolutely sick...I should've known when I saw Allen drinking no sugar Rockstar energy drinks that he was toxic, and what he did to me was something from the behavior of a narcissist... I have a diagnosis that is only supposed to progress, but healed against all odds with. It looks like from other reviews about John Roach, that I'm not the only one treated poorly with claiming a paralegal was doing work, while Allen Al-Zouhayli was acting like he was working in depth on my case, shifting from making promises to blaming me for the distorted emotional dynamics in my case, associated with being severely abused in my marriage during a 5 year massive healing process, abuse energy that the opposing attorney took on as a by-proxy abuser of me. I would also advise that if you have any disability or have been debilitated from something in the past stay FAR, FAR AWAY from Ram Law PLLC. Allen Al-Zouhayli withdrew from my case blaming me for my emotions in this case, when I thought they would be safe under Alen's representation. His development of the attorney/client relationship was toxic from the beginning when I needed a safe space for everything going on in my case, that I did nothing to bring upon myself. When he withdrew, supposedly he had some health scares, which now seem like a complete lie because after blaming his withdrawl on the emotions of this case, he immediately trailed off into "I never had health problems before." With my level of previous debilitation, and all the several years of physical therapy needed for rebuilding myself, while being abused for it, I was completely disgusted and had to hang up the phone on him, because of him stealing my money basically and feeling sorry for himself in front of me. That's nothing more than blame shifting and projection. I deserve my entire retainer refunded and extra compensation for Allen Al-Zouhayli's sick coercion of me. He was worried about his reputation development as an attorney. It's too bad he didn't consider that when he agreed to take my case. Now, I don't know what my ex-husband will continue to try to do to me through the courts. Allen was my third attorney in all of this. I was hoping with everything he had begun to find he would help me see a way out. I don't understand how he could allow himself to sink so low. read more

If I could give John Roach a zero, I would. He's inexperienced, and he did barely the bare minimum for the 3,000 dollars I paid him!, dont believe those reviews and awards on Mr Roach website, he got his retain fee and left. I hired John Roach in June 2022 to fight my child modification case, and then what he said was an easy win since the other party abandoned the child for almost 4 years and guaranteed me a victory. John, through his email, court documents, and writing, sounded like he was a good lawyer that's fighting hard, but sadly, through writing that's were his zeal stopped. Court day came in August, and he was a deer caught in the headlights before the judge. The judge would ask me a question, and I would reply, John, what do you think? John was quiet and seemed he didn't know what to say, literally being bullied by the judge. As the judge determined, I and the other party needed mediation, which I looked at John like how are you not fighting for my concerns. After the hearing was over I spoke to John on the phone as he charged me money for it, he told me "that wasn't the outcome he didn't think we would happen" but im like you was a deer in a headlights. A month later, in September, during the mediation again! John balantly sat there and again I was like John are you going to say something? he utter well she should do reunification therapy, I sat there and was like I sought full custody and the other party is still getting their rights!.... after the mediation John said and I quote said to me "this is the outcome we wanted right" No you told me and assured me a victory and since it's "not going to plan" as you said you're folding. In my last verbal conversation, john told  Im glad we settled since if we go back to court, it's going to be more expensive, and I quote he spoke, "Good luck." Good luck, John? leading me to believe after he saw the retaining fee has been used up, he's out now. John thought this was a walk in the park type of money child case. Fast forward to November of 2022, I fired Mr.Roach and the response was he was satisfied with our results. Im like, really, what did you accomplish other than reunification therapy? So John worked for me about 5 to 6 months before I fired him, so afterwards, I filed in December 2022 to change counties and venue's since I mentioned to John that Ramsey county shows favoritism and let's move to Hennepin so I could have a fair outcome he said let's see how Ramsey judge will go. December 2022 court date came I won on my own change of venue which John couldn't do when he worked for me.... In January 2023, I sought child support since John refused to put the individual on child support, so I won that as well without John....fast forward I reapplied for full custody in Hennepin county on February 2023 and court date was set for May and guess what I won sole legal and physical custody on my own without the lawyer John Roach the same amount of time I hired him it took me as well the 5 to 6 months on my own and won!!! ....Im a single father, and I beat the odds with very little legal help to all you fathers and some mothers trust in God and his son Jesus for these battles! I won with the Lord's help! I would never recommend Rams Law period!!! now me and my house are moving the hell out of Minnesota after 5 years of fighting.... At least refund my 3000 grand retainer fee for the bare minimum a$$ job read more

I am writing this review about my experience working with Attorney John E. Roach who recently helped me remove my children from their abusive grandparent's home. From the very beginning of my case, John demonstrated a deep commitment to protecting my children's safety and well-being. John was incredibly knowledgeable about the laws and regulations governing child custody cases, and he used this expertise to build a strong case in my favor. He was also very attentive to my needs and concerns, and he always made sure that I was thoroughly informed and involved in the decision-making process. Most importantly, John showed genuine empathy and compassion for my, and my children's, situation. He understood the urgency of my case and worked tirelessly to ensure that my children were removed from the abusive environment as quickly and safely as possible. He also provided me with emotional support throughout the process, which was incredibly helpful and needed during such a difficult time. Thanks to John's hard work and dedication, I was able to secure custody of my children and remove them from harm's way. I am beyond grateful to have had such a skilled and compassionate attorney representing me in this difficult situation. Overall, I would highly recommend Attorney John E. Roach to anyone who is facing a difficult custody battle, especially in cases involving abuse or neglect. He is truly an exceptional attorney who cares deeply about his clients and is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for them and their families. read more

John, Dan, and Allen are each fantastic attorneys and each works extremely hard to provide the results their clients are looking for. I have witnessed firsthand how hard these attorneys work and the dedication that they put into their craft. In family law, criminal defense, and landlord-tenant court, there are few more dedicated and passionate attorneys in the Twin Cities area. I highly recommend each of them if you are seeking legal help in any of those areas of law. read more
