Great at what he does, swindled me out of my lawsuit money

John won my case but after the settlement he conned me into taking 90% of my settlement money. Even had me sign over the checks so “I wouldn’t have to pay taxes”. I never even saw the checks or a bill for his services. If you have another option please use it

We are sorry Mr. Martin is currently unhappy with this firm. This case settled in July of 2012 and Mr. Martin seemed happy six years ago with the settlement when he signed the settlement agreement indicating how the money was to be disbursed. The settlement checks were jointly made payable to both us and him and deposited into our trust account as with almost every settlement we have. We are sorry Mr. Martin feels conned, however this was not the case. If he had a problem or issue, we wish we could have discussed this with him this 6 years ago.

Dealer Sold Me a Wrecked Car and Never Told Me

I bought what I thought was a "barely" used car, at least that's what the dealership told me. Claiming it had been sold and returned the very next day, and boy was I getting a great deal! Well boy was I shocked when 3 months later I found out it had been owned for much longer and had also been wrecke...d. After I recovered from shock and found my ability to Google, I found Mr. Gayle. I wasn't holding out much hope that I could do anything about what had happened. Well, after one email and one phone call, I ended up at my face to face consultation. I was wrong. Not only did they violate my rights as a consumer, there were many other issues brought up that had occurred during the transaction when I purchased this car. The more Mr. Gayle explained, the more my faith in his abilities grew. By the end of this consultation, I knew without a doubt that I had come to the right place. The knowledge that he possesses in this particular area of law is extensive, and he is able to articulate it in a manner that is easily understood. Throughout the length of my ordeal, Mr. Gayle, Pam and the rest of the wonderful staff of The Consumer Law Group were absolutely fabulous. They remained in constant contact with me by email and phone to let me know the status through every step. Mr. Gayle was always happy to explain everything to me and was very sincere in his concern over my case. Contacting Mr. Gayle was the smartest move I could have possibly made. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice.

VA RV dealership purchasing contract dispute

Entering into an out of state sale for us with Virgina's #1 RV dealership we ran into some contract issues related to the adequacy of the product to be delivered. After several calls to local attorney offices on a Friday afternoon to no avail, we called Consumer Law, John Gayle Jr. Although he was u...navailable until Monday Pam was attentive, listened to our situation conveying true concern. We were able to talk through enough of the situation that although she was not comfortable giving specific advice we were confident in our position. A followup call on Monday involved Laura, who was given a synopsis of the situation, she conferred with Pam. With a specific set of question, the situation was discussed with Attorney Gayle. Within an hour, we received a return phone call from Laura with complete answers to the questions. Laura requested a call after the next meeting with the dealership on Friday with an update, concerns/issue or for support. Attorney Gayle and his staff were extremely helpful and timely and made us feel secure. We are very grateful that he could ease our stress and arm us with our rights as consumers without adding to our stress that is more than we can say for the RV dealership. Thank you, Attorney John Gayle Jr. for the advice, knowledge, and teamwork.
