Jason Kenneth Baril

When I was initially contacted by this firm, their e-mail to me was very misleading and appeared to infer that Betz and Baril was the only avenue that I could maintain my claimant status with the Payment Card Settlement action. This fact has been verified by responses from the Payment Card Settlemen...t claimant . representative, including the following reaction from them: "Class Counsel raised concerns about Betz & Baril's marketing materials, suggesting they contained false and misleading information, particularly regarding the timing and amount of potential payouts”. Also it was stated: "Betz & Baril may continue to engage in misleading conduct. Class Counsel respectfully suggest that the firm should, at the least, be barred from any additional work related to the action and be required to send – at its expense – a communication agreed to by Class Counsel to all merchants that have signed up with the firm that alerts the clients to their right to cancel their contract and file a claim on their own due to the firm’s misleading and false statements.” These allegations are found in the District Court of New York as r Case 1:05-md-01720-MKB-JAM Document 9444 Filed 09/27/24. It appears that I entered into a very misleading contract as shown in the above communication. It appears that Betz and Baril have not provided a reputable response to any of these accusations. I might add the Betz and Baril were asked to notify merchants (see above) who were affected by their actions above. I have never received any further communication from this firm by e-mail or any other source. Betz and Baril continue to ignore my claim, I have e-mailed and called them a number of times and they refuse to answer my e-mails or calls..

I hired this firm to file an SSDI claim. I was wounded in Afghanistan and eligible for expedited SSDI claims processing. In attempting to communicate this to the staff representatives when I filed my claim and in subsequent phone conversations. I was told the firm was not familiar with the Wounded Wa...rrior expedited process and I would need to handle that myself. In an effort to explain the provision the lady I spoke with identified herself as an attorney but then refused to answer my question and passed me off the a supervisor. I informed him that she had identified herself as an attorney and was rather rude. He assured me she had not identified herself as attorney when clearly she had. The end of the conversation was the same. I would need to handle my situation directly with the SSA and the firm could not help me. If you are veteran/wounded warrior I would be very cautious about engaging this firm.

After working with the people at this office who where very helpful at first, my case moved to a month before the final hearing. When I get a letter from Mr Baril's office releasing my case and leaving me with the only explanation from one of his workers, the disability settlement was going to be ...affected by a work comp settlement that I haven't even been offered. Makes me wonder what a law firms word is worth.
