Execellent Service

I received excellent service from Attorney Blake Thomas. He handled a case for me and what I especially loved about his service is that he keep me informed about everything that was going on. His professionalism was second to none. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Thomas was very prompt in his proceedings, always kept me up to date on the status of the my suit, and made sure all the information that was needed was collected in order to get the best outcome for me. I definitely would recommend him, my first choice should i find myself in another tough spot ...like this.

My experience. What I learned. What to do in the future.

I needed help due to specific tactics from an unnamed company. I used search parameters to find this Lawyer. The lawyer accepted my case on contingency before we spoke on the phone. I rushed everything back to the Lawyer, so we could begin a case. I received only three updates during the case. Th...e day the demand was sent; the day suit was filed; the day a settlement was reached. I initiated contact with the lawyer several times, by phone and email throughout the process, to find out what was happening with the case. A settlement was reached, but it was extremely lower than I was told. As a result the damages offered were extremely lower than I was told. I was not happy, so I brought all of this to the Lawyer's attention and was told the Lawyer did not remember the amount and stated it must be a miscommunication. The Lawyer said that he wanted to make sure I was happy, which turned into negotiating. The lawyer went up a little but it was not close to what the Lawyer originally told me or enough for me to sign a non-disclosure. I gave the Lawyer a request with multiple options in writing to take back to the unnamed company. The Lawyer did not present my options to the unnamed company and gave me an ultimatum to either take the settlement or the Lawyer would withdraw from the case between the Lawyer myself and the unnamed company. As a final result the lawyer withdrew and quit the case. It was stated in the contract the Lawyer or I could quit at any point. I learned a lot from this experience. I will do more than an Internet search to find a Lawyer. I will do follow through with homework. I will carefully read and understand the agreement before I send anything back. I will make sure everything stated on the phone between myself and any Lawyer, is also sent in writing. I will get a second opinion, as should everyone who needs a lawyer. In the future, if I am ever in need of a Lawyer, I am confident, I will be able to find help from a Lawyer, who best fits my circumstances.

I filed suit for the client against a big company. I negotiated for the client a great settlement for several thousand dollars when his damages were less than one hundred dollars. The client agreed to the settlement amount, but later changed his mind after the big company had presented reasonable and standard settlement terms in the the release agreement.
