Zell & Zell

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. My family had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with Rodney Zell regarding our family member’s habeas corpus case. The lack of communication throughout this process has been completely unacceptable. The most concerning part is that our family member’s habeas corpus was denied, yet no one in our family — including the person whose case it actually was — received any communication from Zell regarding the denial. We found out through the courts, rather than from the attorney who was supposed to be representing him. That is simply unacceptable. This is not a minor matter or a situation where an occasional delayed response can be excused. A habeas corpus case involves someone’s freedom and future. Families are trusting their attorney with something incredibly serious, and the bare minimum should be communication, transparency, and timely updates. Instead, we were left trying to figure out what was happening and relying on information from the court because we were not getting it from the attorney. After seeing other reviews describing similar experiences, I feel compelled to share ours as well. Based on our family’s experience, I would not recommend Rodney Zell to anyone looking for an attorney to handle a habeas corpus case. No family should have to chase down their own attorney or learn a major development in their loved one’s case from the court. People deserve better communication, better accountability, and better representation — especially when someone’s freedom is at stake. Zero stars if that were an option.
