Posted by Dan | July 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Consumer Protection

Worked with him in the past. Very knowledgably.

Dan helped me in the past with a consumer issue and he never charged me anything upfront. It was a car dealership that added on extra fees and breach of contract. He resolved my case with a lot more money back to me than I expected. Dan Blinn knows what he is doing when it comes to Consumer protectio...n. Thanks Dan...

Great job! Very satisfied!

I hired Consumer Law Group to work on my claim against one of the car dealerships. Attorney Blinn and his staff were very professional, responsive and result driven. Great job! Highly recommend them for dealing with any dealership issues.

I hired Attorney Blinn to handle a car lease case for me. I felt I was defrauded at the lease signing by the salesman. Attorney Blinn contacted the car company and negotiated a settlement that was very agreeable to me. This was done in a timely and professional manner.

Better than expected service!

Best decision I made was to contact Consumer Law Group. Long story short, I found myself stuck with a car that was ultimately not safe to drive. Only found out when trying to trade the car in. No dealership would touch it. I did some research and found Attorney Blinn and Attorney Mahoney (and of cour...se Dora!) of Consumer Law Group online and made the call. They were fantastic. They kept me updated throughout the process (which is very important to me). They didn’t leave me hanging wondering what was going on. They were very patient with me, listened to what I had to say, and explained anything I didn’t understand. Very fair and pleased with the outcome. They are a really wonderful group of people who I trust and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who needs help with consumer issues. Really can’t thank them enough!

Refund from a Car Dealership

Daniel Blinn is an expert in Consumer Law.  He shared his deep knowledge of the General CT Statutes to help me advocate for myself against a car dealership that is trying to take advantage of me. I’m grateful for his help and recommend contacting him if you need help with consumer legal issues.  He’s... one of the good guys!!!

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."
