5 Stars Excellent Representative

I contacted Consumer Fraud Legal Services and received a timely reply regarding a credit card/bank that had tied up my funds and not processed anything and were not going to be accountable for causing undo pain, anguish and almost causing me to lose my apartment. Consumer Fraud Legal Services kept me... updated every step of the way in the process, informing me of what was going on, what to expect and when. The few emails I sent, were promptly answered. When they received the settlement checks, they informed me, when they were sent and when to expect it. My check arrived on time, with an itemized invoice for services rendered. I didn't expect to collect very much at the beginning, and I am pleased at the amount received. I would highly recommend Consumer Fraud Legal Services, they have been reputable, open and honest, in dealing with me. Their part of the settlement was earned. They settled the dispute quickly and worked at it, while keeping me informed. After I turned the matter over to them, I stopped worrying, stressing, and stopped being angry that the people that did this would not be held accountable. Now they have. I can't say Thank you enough. 5 Stars is not enough. Double that to 10 Stars. I really appreciate all you and your Team have done in this matter. Thank you, Renae

Walmart / Green Dot Fiasco

Many of us belonged to a Facebook group (Walmart Money Card Exodus) because of the 'crashing' of the Green Dot system. Walmart wasn't taking our phone calls. Green Dot was publicly denying anything was wrong. Thousands of people were left with money disappearing, no access to money, debits that we di...dn't do, and direct deposits getting eaten by the overdraft charges caused by Green Dot. This went on for more than a month. Some people were evicted, some had no food, a few children ended up in Emergency Rooms because of the lack of oxygen treatment machines and medicines, and several were left without utilities because they couldn't pay the bill due to lack of access to their money. We were at a loss as to what to do, overwhelmed and extremely upset - until we found Blake Thomas. His reviews were above par and several of us contacted him and invited him into the FaceBook group. Even though he's located in Illinois, he was able to help many of us across the United States. He was absolutely amazing from the beginning. He took on several of us as clients to face Green Dot. Not only did he win our lawsuits quickly (less than 6 months) he also became a friend to many of us through his communications within the group. He cared that many were without necessities. He cared that children were getting ill. He cared that we were real people and not just dollar signs. He consistently stayed on top of the opposing attorney and sent us regular updates throughout the case. The best words to describe Blake would be: effective, efficient, productive, compassionate, successful, and personable. Never have I worked with an attorney who actually cared more about the people involved than the money he could make off the case. He is truly a rarity among the lawyer sect. For many of us, he was the saving grace to this nightmare. Without him we would have been out the time, money, and aggravation with no real solution. I believe that Blake Thomas is the solution to any lawsuit. I highly recommend him above any other attorney in the United States. If you are looking for an attorney who works honestly, quickly and effectively then Blake Thomas is the attorney you're looking for. Thank you again Blake for everything you have done for so many people and their families. God bless.

Replied last October 19, 2016

I asked Client for proof of both impact and damages. When she could not sufficiantly provide these, I withdrew from her case. The client can still take part in a class action or file an individual small claims case.
