This must be a different attorney
I find it hard to believe that all the reviews are in regards to the same attorney that refused to even speak with me not only recently, but 3 years ago when I first contacted him. I can't imagine all these heartfelt words and the guy hasn't even attempted to explain anything to me. I've spoken to Do...
I am sorry that you are upset that you were not able to speak with me personally. Every year, approximately 2,500 consumers contact me by phone or email looking for assistance. It simply is not possible for me to represent all of them, and it is also not possible for me to speak with every one personally. When you first contacted us about 3 years ago, you were unable to find some of your documents, and that is why were were not able to assess your situation at that time. When you contacted us again recently, I did review your situation, and I determined that it was past the deadline to bring a claim relating to your lease. Dora, however, had identified a separate issue relating to your second transaction. That was the claim that we suggested you might pursue in small claims court. It sounds as if we may not have communicated clearly to you that this other claim was subject to a longer statute of limitations - which is why we suggested that you might pursue it in small claims court. I apologize for that miscommunication. In any event, we do appreciate that you contacted us for guidance in your claim against a car dealer..

Thank you for being a consumers' protector
I was in an auto purchase recently where the auto dealer slipped in a $397 charge for VIN Etching, which was a service they didn't even perform for my car. I felt so taken advantage of after reading the post on your site, realizing how some dealers using VIN Etching fee as a game to increase their p...

Genuinely Caring for the People
From the moment I walked into Dan's office I felt welcomed. Besides him, he has friendly staff who had answered very knowledgeably any question I had about my case. I highly recommend Dan Blinn and his entire team. Throughout my case he kept me and my husband informed. Best of all he fought for my ca...
"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 and I have worked on several cases together and I respect his intellect, legal mind, and pragmatic approach to cases. I endorse Dan without reservation."
"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."
"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."
"Dan is one of the smartest and most capable lawyers I know of. He is highly skilled and cares about his clients and is always willing to help less experienced lawyers too. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Dan is extremely intelligent, hard working and very ethical in all his dealings"
"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."
