    If you live in Alabama, he'll treat you like family. If you reside out of state, he'll throw your case

    I feel compelled to share my experience with SHJ Law, (Stephen Hasty Jones) and unfortunately, it’s been far from satisfactory. My journey in the legal battle for full custody of my daughter, has been nothing short of tumultuous.

    **Background:**
    Since the separation in 2015, my journey to maintain a meaningful relationship with my daughter has been an uphill battle. Despite initial 50/50 custody agreements, we have found ourselves in court three times, and each time the outcome has been marred by my ex-wife consistently violating court orders. Disturbing incidents, including being sent off with unfamiliar individuals, referring to other men as “Daddy”, and exposure to unsettling situations, underscore the urgency of reassessing her living situation.

    **Communication Challenges:**
    Gathering crucial information about my daughter’s life has been an uphill battle. Emergency contact details withheld, even during trips across state lines, posing a significant risk to her safety.

    **Manipulation and Unjust Accusations:**
    Regular visitations disrupted by false accusations and financial demands have created an unstable environment for my daughter, undermining my role as a parent.

    **Concerns for my daughter’s Well-being:**
    My daughter has experienced trauma bonding, evident in concerning behaviors at school, highlighting an environment detrimental to her emotional well-being.

    **Other Men Being Referred to as “Daddy”:**
    One of the most heart-wrenching aspects of this situation is the confusion my daughter face by referring to different men as “Daddy.” This has not only caused emotional distress but has also played a significant role in disrupting her sense of stability and identity.

    **Unmonitored Content**
    One deeply concerning aspect of my daughter’s environment is my ex-wife’s apparent inability to differentiate between the horror and true crime genres, a matter that extends beyond personal preferences. This blurred line between fiction and reality can be particularly detrimental to my daughter’s emotional well-being and sense of safety. True crime content often delves into real-life tragedies and disturbing scenarios, exposing a child to potentially traumatizing information. The failure to discern between entertainment and actual events may inadvertently contribute to an unsettling atmosphere for my daughter, further emphasizing the urgency of reassessing her living situation to ensure a more stable and emotionally nurturing environment. This too had been overlooked by this attorney. And disregarded.

    **Legal Challenges and Ineffective Representation:**
    Now, let’s talk about my prior attorney. Ethical lapses, failure to present critical evidence, and a general lack of effectiveness in court have compounded the challenges we faced. The financial burden imposed by this attorney only added an extra layer of hardship to an already challenging situation. Hidden fees that seemed to pop up out of the blue, adding insult to injury. Pushing court dates for personal reasons have all contributed to the overall failure of my case.

    **Financial Breakdown:**
    To date, a substantial investment of well over $6,000 in legal fees has yielded disheartening outcomes, leaving my daughter well-being still at risk.

    **Request for Full Custody:**
    My ultimate goal is securing full custody to provide a healthier environment for my daughter. Legal professionals assure me this time will bring a resolution.

    **Conclusion:**
    While my experience with SHJ LAW has been less than stellar, this review is not just about airing grievances. It’s a call for reform, a plea for support in a battle that extends beyond the courtroom. My plea to potential clients: Beware. The lack of communication, disregard for urgency, and hidden fees make SHJ Law a firm to steer clear of. Even though my prior attorney experience marked by consistent incompetence and a complete disregard for communication, after gaining this new bit of knowledge, I feel more hopeful for the outcome from those new legal professionals.
    **How My Previous Attorney’s Negligence Compromised My Case**
    In the pursuit of safeguarding my daughter’s well-being and securing her medical and educational records, I embarked on a journey that would unravel shocking truths about the negligence of my prior attorney. The saga began when suspicions arose regarding the accuracy of information on her records – suspicions that were unjustly dismissed by my attorney at the time, leading to a series of events that would deeply impact my daughter’s life. He was hired in November, 2021. As my ex-wife had relocated unknowingly upwards of 8 times. Admitted in court.
    The primary failure unfolded when my previous attorney failed to effectively subpoena records that could have unveiled critical details about my daughter’s medical history and educational background. Despite my persistent concerns and insistence on investigating the matter, my attorney’s lack of due diligence allowed vital information to remain concealed, further intensifying the complexities of my legal battle.
    To add to the gravity of this situation, the discovered records not only lacked accuracy but also included individuals who were not her actual family listed in official family positions. This shocking revelation not only highlighted a blatant disregard for the accuracy of my daughter’s personal information but also raised alarming questions about the legitimacy of the records provided by the other party.
    One of the most disturbing findings was the inclusion of a man, whom I had long been suspicious of, on school records dating back to 2019. Despite my persistent concerns and the significance of this revelation, my prior attorney callously dismissed the possibilities of such occurrences, leaving me in the dark about the true extent of the deception.
    The culmination of these failures reached its peak when it was discovered that another man had been erroneously placed in my stead on official family records. This revelation prompted my prior attorney to abruptly exit the stage, using a barrage of excuses to deflect responsibility. The subsequent discovery that another individual had assumed my role on crucial records further underscored the egregious negligence that characterized my attorney’s handling of the case.
    Had my previous attorney fulfilled his professional obligations competently, all of these damning revelations would have come to light much earlier, potentially altering the trajectory of my legal battle for custody. The consequences of this negligence have been far-reaching, leaving my daughter’s well-being compromised and underscoring the critical importance of legal representation that prioritizes thoroughness and diligence.

    In the pursuit of justice for my daughter, it is imperative to shed light on these failures, holding accountable those who failed to protect the rights and well-being of a child caught in the midst of a tumultuous legal battle. The hope now lies in rectifying these past mistakes and ensuring that my daughter is granted the stable and nurturing environment she rightfully deserves.
    The gravity of my previous attorney’s negligence extends beyond the mishandling of records, reaching alarming heights when crucial life events were overlooked, further compromising the integrity of my daughter’s environment. Shockingly, incidents such as evictions and physical assaults were brushed aside by my prior attorney, revealing a stunning lack of thoroughness in their approach. Overlooking instances where my ex-wife was involved in biting their landlady and subsequent evictions raises serious questions about the attorney’s commitment to comprehensively understanding the circumstances affecting my daughter’s safety and well-being.
    The failure to address these critical details not only undermines the professionalism expected from legal representation but also casts a shadow on the overall efficacy of the legal proceedings aimed at securing my daughter’s future. These oversights demand immediate attention and correction to ensure that no crucial details are left unexamined in the pursuit of justice for my daughter.

    Adding to the litany of grievances, my previous attorney’s woefully inadequate communication practices exacerbated the already challenging circumstances of my legal battle. Charging exorbitant fees for nearly every email while simultaneously denying engagement with crucial communication severely hindered the progression of my case. Astonishingly, attempts to convey critical information, including warnings of potential signs of abuse, from my knowledgeable and mandated reporter significant other were met with outright dismissal and disrespect.

    The attorney’s refusal to give my significant other a voice, despite her expertise in identifying red flags for abuse in preschool settings, further emphasized his lack of professionalism and disregard for the holistic understanding of the complex issues at hand. Such communication barriers not only impeded the flow of essential information but also demonstrated a profound insensitivity to the urgency and gravity of the matters affecting my daughter’s safety and well-being.

    **How did SHJ Law allow for continued parental alienation?**
    Firstly, the consistent denial of communication and access to crucial information about my daughter, such as emergency contact details and school records, isolates me from actively participating in my daughter’s life. This intentional withholding of information creates an environment where the father is systematically excluded from my daughter’s daily experiences.

    Secondly, the manipulation and disparaging communication from the mother, as evidenced by consistent disparaging remarks and manipulation of court-ordered agreements, contribute to the alienation process. The intentional interference with visitation rights, the use of false accusations, and constant disruptions in communication undermine my ability to establish a meaningful relationship with my daughter.

    Additionally, the introduction of other male figures being referred to as “Daddy” and the manipulation of my daughter’s perception of her biological father through social media statements further intensify the alienation process. This creates confusion and emotional distress for my daughter, eroding the natural bond between the father and my daughter.

    Moreover, the mother’s refusal to differentiate between the horror and true crime genres, exposing my daughter to potentially distressing information, contributes to an environment where the child’s emotional well-being is compromised.

    The culmination of these actions collectively forms a pattern of deliberate and systematic efforts to undermine the father’s role, tarnish my image, and emotionally distance my daughter from me, thus constituting parental alienation.

    Warmest Regards,
    Joshua H. Landerfelt
