“They fought for me every step of the way and never left me in the dark.”

I came to Consumer Law Group during one of the most stressful times of my life, facing a predatory auto sale and CUTPA violations that left me with a car loan I simply could not afford. From the very beginning, Attorney Paulette, Attorney Blinn, and Dora treated my case with the seriousness and care ...it deserved. Professional guidance: They explained every step of the process clearly, making sure I understood my rights and options. Constant communication: I never had to chase updates. Whether by phone or email, they reached out before I even needed to ask, keeping me informed and reassured. Accessibility: I could always reach them easily, and they made me feel like my case truly mattered. Dedicated staff: was exceptional in organizing documents and correspondence, ensuring nothing slipped through the cracks. Results-driven: Even though I was prepared for a long process, they resolved my claim efficiently and secured a fair settlement. Thanks to their expertise, persistence, and compassion, my case was resolved in a way that gave me relief and justice. Consumer Law Group is not just a law firm — they are advocates who fight for their clients and stand by them every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing unfair or predatory practices!!!

Skilled, fair and just

Attorney Dan Blinn epitomized the traits of a lawyer you want on your side in a dispute - knowledge, experience, and fairness. I am an attorney who was helping a friend try to resolve a thorny issue over the validity of a purchase of a new automobile. I called Attorney Blinn for an informal consultat...ion. He gave me some excellent tips for our negotiating and offered my friend an exceptionally fair fee proposal if we were unsuccessful and my friend needed to hire him. His recommendations to me were instrumental in reaching a just outcome for both sides of the controversy, which unforeseeably ended with mutual respect and understanding among the parties.

Professional, thoughtful advice

Dan was very helpful when my daughter bought a used car and it turned out to have significant issues. He and his associate Paulette provided professional, thoughtful advice. They answered all of our questions and helped us pursue relief for a very stressful event.

Outstanding Experience with Attorney Dan Blinn!

We recently worked with Attorney Dan Blinn on a consumer case involving a defective vehicle, and the outcome was exceptional. What started as a stressful and frustrating situation quickly turned around thanks to Dan’s deep expertise and commitment to helping us find a resolution. From the start, D...an was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about our case. He guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence, always keeping us informed and supported. His communication was top-notch—responsive, transparent, and reassuring. Thanks to Dan’s diligence and strategic approach, the dealer agreed to take the car back, and we received a judgment that exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and determination made all the difference. If you're facing a tough consumer issue, Attorney Dan Blinn is someone you want in your corner. He’s sharp, dedicated, and truly advocates for his clients. We’re incredibly grateful for the result and highly recommend Dan to anyone seeking strong legal representation.

Consumer protection lawyer | Feb 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have never met Attorney Blinn in person though our law offices are both in the Hartford area, perhaps only 10-15 minutes away. However, I have seen his thoughtful answers and comments on Avvo's Q&A to Askers with consumer protection issues, mainly regarding car dealers and he provides knowledgeable, accurate, and practical advice about consumer protection laws. I also see that his law firm is devoted to serving clients with consumer protection related legal problems. In addition, I see that he, like me, earned his law degree at New York University School of Law. So, I cannot fault him for his legal education. Therefore, it is my pleasure to endorse my fellow lawyer in the Avvo community, Attorney Daniel S Blinn."

"Dan is an excellent attorney and truly one of the best consumer rights lawyers I know. He has a keen legal mind, is a zealous advocate, and has the highest ethical principles. I have referred many clients to him and will continue to do so."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Many years ago Dan and I had a case together. My client, one of several defendants, had an insurance policy that only covered costs of defense. When I told the adjuster that Dan was on the other side he said "settle the case" and paid the settlement amount, even though the policy didn't cover that payment. Why? Because he knew that Dan would not give up, would fight to the end, and would work hard for his client, all of which would have amounted to large attorneys fees, which the insurance company would have been paying. We have been friends and colleagues since then and I strongly endorse Dan as a litigator, and as a person."

"I began my legal experience working at Dan's firm. It was this experience that enabled me to launch my own small consumer law firm. Dan's knowledge of consumer law makes him more than an expert in the field, he's a trail blazer. Be it auto loan issues or debt collection harassment, Dan's ability to work through the facts enables him to give clients realistic pictures of what kind of outcome they can expect. I would especially recommend Dan for any auto loan or warrenty issue."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. No, I applaude this attorneys work. He is the leading voice at the forefront of the field of consumer advocacy. Rather than continue praising him, I will offer these facts: 1. He maintains the best website on consumer law in the State of Connecticut. 2. He is the first attorney other attorneys call when they have a question on consumer law. 3. He is always willing to help another lawyer and has made his entire practice about delivering much needed justice to the consumer who has been taken advantage of. I admire and aspire to this attorney's level of excellence and expertise."
