    Review Clete Blakeman

    Unpleasant Experience

    Posted by

    From seeing the reviews left I see Mr. Blakeman is still an unreliable attorney too busy trying to be important to really be effective for his clients. In a wrongful death suit he handled for us I did most of the leg work and calls to collect the insurance benefits from both the adverse driver & our insurance policies and to this day a check his office received has never been paid out to us. He made all sorts of promises that neither he nor the firm he worked with stood behind. A very unpleasant experience being "represented" by Mr. Blakeman

    Horrible Lawyer

    Posted by

    Clete made a costly mistake with my case then withdrew when he realized what he had done. He is obviously too busy being a ref and has no time to stay current on the law. Horrible experience and has no business practicing.

    Too Busy

    Posted by

    Mr. Blakeman has too much on his plate. When he is not practicing law he is an NFL referee. He took my case and did nothing for me. When I complained, he proceeded to withdraw. He completely mishandled my case.
