He Was Amazing

He was great. I found him via a Facebook friend when my account was closed with no explanation and I was told I was ineligible to receive a refund for my own money. It took a few months but he was able to get my money back plus more, I highly recommend him. 10/10

Clear, Streamlined, Effective, Successful

Blake was the only lawyer willing to take on a case where my financial institution lost my money and blamed me. He has created a streamlined process to help consumers get back the money they have been defrauded of--and was entirely successful in my case! Exceptionally informative, gave updates... at every juncture of the process, was honest about his limitations. Hope to never need his services again, but EXTREMELY grateful for the services he provides.

Disappointed

I had a dispute with chime and it was denied. It was for $2100.00. I tried everything. Bbb, attorney general, banking ombudsmen,FDIC, anything to do with unfair treatment by a bank I contacted them. Of course I got no where until I found Blake. He was very professional, he communicated well and alway...s answered me back. Not very personal but he doesn't need to be. He's slaying it. I was under the impression he would take 1/3rd of the settlement. Yes he provided the information in the contract I signed so I know its all on me but still I can be upset. I won the settlement but I didn't even get the amount I originally disputed and lost. I thought the entire process of going to litigation was to get your money back. Otherwise why in the heck would I do it y'all? Well It was the opposite of what I thought and what is the norm. I only got 1/3 of the settlement. Is this normal? I don't understand it. For this reason I want to give him a one star. I didn't want anything but my money back. I work hard for my money and for someone just to steal it. And now I take it to ligation and still I don't have my money back. If I would have at least got the $2100.00 that I originally disputed I would have given him 4 starts. If he would have only taken 1/3 like most lawyers do in this case he would have gotten 5 stars. So disappointing. I definitely feel like I was just an opportunity for him to make big money doing next to nothing. Taking advantage of uneducated people.

The brightest light at the end of a tunnel.

Simply put I would give a 10 star rating if I were capable. It's a mistake to believe that taking on situations with Large Corporations individually is a possibility. When I was at the complete end of my rope, I contacted Blake and from our initial conversation until now reaching settlement he has pr...ovided first class service. Very communicative during the entire process and provided detailed timelines and met those timelines exceptionally. The fact that I was never made to feel left out during any part of this ordeal was comforting. Blake kept his promises and remained professional right until our most recent conversation. This earns my utmost trust and gratitude and I would not hesitate to enter the frays with Blake as my wingman.

I would work with Blake again.

He was a great lawyer. He provided me all the information I needed as well as a timeline. We settled and I got back more than what I was originally owed from my bank. I appreciate his time and effort.
