The Law Office of John Jocelyn

John Jocelyn is a class act. I hired him to assist me in a complex custody case with my daughter. Due to financial issues surrounding the case, it has been one drama after the next. John has been the ‘calm in the storm.’ He never overcharged me, on the contrary, he most likely undercharged me. I appreciate John’s knowledge, integrity, and attention to detail. Thank you John!

John Jocelyn was referred from a friend of mine. I only work from personal referrals, sometimes from Unilocal too, and I am very, very happy he was referred to me.
John was always available to meet when I called him the day before to schedule an appointment and meet in person and was always available by phone. I texted him on the weekends and he was able to get back to as well in a timely manner. I highly recommend John Jocelyn to anyone that needs any family legal service.

John was very polite and sounded like a good attorney when I retained him last January. I temporarily moved to Las Vegas to take care of my sick Mother, who is recovering from cancer and two broken arms. I told him John Jocelyn ONE thing, and that is that I want to see my son as much as possible, and that I will NOT accept anything less than joint custody. At my first hearing, that my wife did not even serve me properly & that John represented me at, the judge gave me 2 days visitation per month!!! Then John tells me «this is normal visitation ‚» after the hearing it took him 3 MONTHS to Eventually file the court order, and ever since it’s been like getting my teeth pulled to see my son because he took so long to get it completed and file.
John Jocelyn also told me that before he filed my case (as Petitioner) in Santa Monica court that he would check to see that she had Not already filed to avoid higher costs. It turns out he NEGLECTED to check and after the case hearing he promised to file my case from Santa Monica Courthouse as a response to her case because the Judge at Stanly Mosk Couthouse said that I could file the response for my case, and he still has Not done so.
Also, it turns out that all the advice John gave me backfired, and he charged me for «research «of things that I feel ANY attorney should have known, who just graduated from LAW School like John recently did. Thanks for perpetuating the typical money hungry, uncaring Attorney Archetype that corrupts your otherwise honorable profession.
Not only did John Jocelyn NOT help me. He hurt my case terribly and set me back, and not just a little bit for «back-​pedaling» my case.

John Jocelyn is a great attorney and I would highly recommend him. I needed help filing a TRO and then making it permanent. He made a difficult, emotionally-​draining process as simple and as painless as possible and was always available to answer any questions that I had regarding the process. He was very honest, approachable, and knowledgeable. I had no trouble making my TRO permanent and he followed up with me afterwards to make sure that it was properly filed with the appropriate authorities. Again, I cannot praise him enough and would recommend him to anyone.
