Settlement on Travelocity.com

I was a client of Alan Blake Thomas in a case on Travelocity.com. The lawyer did everything quickly so the case was settled in less then six months. I did not like the settlement amount. Fees and charges were more than 86% of the total amount. I think it is much too high. I received less than 14% of ...the settlement amount. It looks like a robbery, not like a settlement.

We had already filed suit and client chose to settle before the verdict for a small fraction of what the case was worth against my recommendation. His settlement was further reduced by the court filing fees which he had not paid.

Won Against DirecTV

Blake Thomas of Springfield, Illinois, represented my wife and me against DirecTV. Our dispute stemmed from a year+ worth of billing that we discovered had been taken via direct draft, on services that has yet to be established at a business address. We hadn't even installed a receiver to be ABLE t...o receive a signal. Blake worked directly with DirecTV legal, obtaining more detail on our account. Eventually, Blake used the tools at his disposal to prove to then that they had no outstanding bill with us. Our illegitimate bill went away and there were no fees incurred to correct this matter. I recommend Blake and Consumer Fraud Services of Springfield, Illinois.

Helped me stick it to the man!

Large company screwed me over on my monthly bill. I could have spent hours chasing them down to fix it, but since I don't like this company, I opted to sic a Lawyer on them to make them as miserable as they make me. Took about 5 minutes of my time to get him the details. A couple months later, he ...got the bill fixed and a nice fat settlement check. Didn't have to pay him a nickel. I've got another big business screwing me over that that he's looking into now.
