No worries.

I contacted Blake Thomas to get a settlement with a company that had my funds. I had never talked to a lawyer before, or considered anything like this. So when I came across his name attached to cases against the company, I figured he would be worth speaking to. He was upfront and honest about time... and pricing as well as which way it could go. He got a settlement for me, and it was in a great timeframe! Thank you again!

Skilled & Efficient

Blake Thomas at CFLS did GREAT WORK against the large phone company (you know the name). In a short time he made them eliminate a $1200 fraudulent phone-internet-TV bill!! I had wasted over 3 months talking with the phone company idiots, and lodging complaints with the FCC and my state's telco-superv...isory agency, but Blake won the case FAST, and the b******s even had to pay his fee as part of the settlement(that I like to think of as punitive damages!). I enthusiastically recommend him.--Robert

Very unprofessional

I came across Mr. Thomas's website and read over the FAQ to learn more about their service. I had some questions that weren't answered but the site said they won't have a call with you (and would be happy to do so) unless they qualify you first, so I took the time to fill in the case evaluation. ...I received a scripted response soon after, saying they were referring me to someone else, but this new company asking me to agree to and proceed with their services looked the same as the first, and was still operated by the same person, Mr. Thomas. I replied to the email asking what was going on and if someone was going to contact me but I received no response. Having been scammed by businesses like the one I was reporting and even by legal practices (that were later shut down for malpractice), I wasn't going to sign some contract with some random company over the web entitling them to large fees (that weren't clearly explained) without having even spoke to a real person or received a message that wasn't automated or scripted, so I decided to hold off. For the next several days I received multiple automated "action required" emails from them, asking me to send my account information so they could proceed with the demand letter. I called the office, but it's just an automated voicemail and I did not receive a call back. I reply to their latest email telling them I tried contacting them and had some questions, and they responded shortly after with a scripted explanation of their process. Then I noticed they had sent another email literally a minute after saying that my case did not "meet their profile," without any explanation. Confused, I replied reminding them that they had already requested me to agree to their terms and submit personal information. I received no response. A few days later, I tried to follow up again via email and received a single sentence back saying "We decided not to accept your case." No explanation, no apology. Thanks for wasting my time. I recommend others find someone more professional and organized who actually cares and respects clients.

We require all new case submissions to be made online first. If a case meets our profile, we are then happy to schedule a call to discuss further. In this instance, the reviewer was simply upset that we decided not to take his case based on the facts he submitted.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
