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.

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.

Thank you so much

Mr Blake helped me to gain more than what I lost with Chime. He got me a lot more then I thought. Yeah I recommended him to someone else. I appreciate you so much. Now I can put my money in my new account.

AMAZING

I needed a lawyer when GreenDot had close my account. while I still had money inside of it they wanted to keep charging monthly fees on the account. I called them several times to send a check for closing my account and they told me that they cannot do anything about it. So I looked for a lawyer and ...i read reviews on Mr. Blake. High Ratings and Positive Responds. So I reached out to him. Man... I'm GLAD I did. He helps me win my case with GreenDot and I didn't even have to do anything. everything was taken care of by him. I gave him all the information that he requested for the case through email. He explains the process to me and how long each stage is before going on to the next one. followed up with me on each stage. Not only that I was able to receive more then what I asked for... TRULY AN AMAZING LAWYER. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!!

Great client services

Mr. Blake kept me informed with the entire process from beginning to end. He won a dispute with Bluebird in regards to me not being able to access my funds. The process was speedy. About 6-7 months tops. I would HIGHLY recommend Me. Blake's expertise if your experiencing problems with ANY of these de...bit card companies.
