Dishonest

This guy agreed to take my case and sent a contract that stated he’d receive 1/3 of the money recovered. That’s fair enough, then it said he was able to get up to another third for fees such as postage, it was over a $5000 case. Given the situation I figured I’d ask what the other fees were and I did... it in a polite way so I could better understand. The next thing I got was a withdrawal. You can’t trust a man that doesn’t want you asking questions before you sign something. The fact of the matter is these cases are handled with a couple quick letters and phone calls, he’s making like 10k an hour. He isn’t out to protect or help any of the little people being screwed by credit card companies. I’m the victim of a fraud, luckily I was able to get a hold of the attorney general. If you’re the victim of a crime and can prove it there are federal laws stating that you’re protected from theft, and that there’s a certain burden of proof they have to achieve to show you weren’t. Don’t contact him, contact the state attorney general office first, chances are he’s getting paid for something you could do yourself. They’ll represent you for free and if they won’t, ask him a question if you don’t understand something and watch him drop the case. I’ve never seen anything like that before but it was one of the most incredibly shady things I’ve ever heard of, even if his pricing is fair expecting your clients not to ask questions is wrong.

Best attorney ever!

Amex allowed over $10,000 to be stolen from my card. They refused to honor their $0 liability. $10,000 gone just like that due to a criminal and a huge corporation who decided the laws didnt apply to them and leaving me struggling during the covid pandemic. I retained blake who faught hard. He also ...responded to my many emails and questions thoroughly. All amex wanted to do is get extension after extension playing games and after our patience ran out, he told them enough is enough. Settle or litigate. Once blake called them out on their games, they settled. Without blake, id be out my money with no hope in sight.

Happy camper

I was hacked through Chime. They refused to refund what was taken during the pandemic, $535. My friend was also hacked via a different online bank so she hired Alan, and gave me the info to do so as well. It all worked out. Thank you so much.
