Alan Blake Thomas

Blake Thomas helped with Chime , but at what expense? They settled for $3,950.00... I had to pay $2,634.65 in contingency fees and other expenses to the attorney. I never received the check, so I asked to have it reissued. I was then charged $250 more just to have the check reissued 5 months later si...nce I never received the first one. Out of $3,950.00, I was left with only $1,066.00 that I guess I'll receive one day in the mail. The new tenant sent back all of the mail she received for me, but the post office never forwarded it to my new address due to backup and a mix-up. It was sent back to the sender. I guess I'm the only one who lost in all of this. Out of $3,950.00 I was left with $1,066.00 after all of the fees the attorney charged me after helping get some of my money back from Chime. I thought they charge 33% for contingency fees and expenses. How does that equal up to $2,917.00 and I'm only left with $1,066.00? That's not right. What was the point in getting my money back from Chime if the money was going to still go to someone else other than me. They charged $250 to reissue a check that I have to wait up to 14 days to receive in the mail. Chime isn't the only one taking money. $1,066.00 left out of a settlement of $3,950.00..... This just doesn't add up to me. They got $2,917.00 out of a settlement of $3,950.00. I received 3 emails to sign a document, but every time I tried to sign the documents, it kept saying that I don't have access to the documents. I'm left feeling defeated

I contacted Blake’s law firm just days after experiencing a situation where my American Express card was somehow cloned and used at an ATM to withdraw funds. Blake contacted me back immediately and responded to any questions I had. He explained the work he would be doing and the process/timelin...e. I paid no out of pocket expenses and am set to receive 1/3 of the earnings.

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.

The last week of January someone gained access to my serve account online this person changed my password my email my address everything they didnt have physical access to my card or the numbers but I had child tax credit money in that account that I desperately needed to care for my kids I called Am...ex immediately when I saw that someone tried to transfer 450 dollars to their account they assured me they locked the account and sent it too fraud department and no one could touch it they didn't it wasn't till February 7th that they actually locked the card they said they were sending me a new card when I first called which never came they overnighted me one 10 days later after the first one never came by the this time the person that hacked my account took all my money plus 200 dollars out of my bank account that was linked so they got almost 700 bucks from me by the time I got my new card in February and I was able to fix and take back my account but this hacker was able to order a sub account card and get it overnighted FedEx in Florida before I got my new card and was able to take everything off at an ATM all while I'm waiting on my new card to come everyday sometimes 2-3 times a day I was calling Amex and freaking out and they treated me like I was the criminal that I did this when they denied my dispute the first time I started looking for someone to help thank goodness I came across Blake Thomas he's a god send to me and my family I sent him all the info and I sent screenshots of my timeline receipts showing where I was when this all happened but Amex never even called to get any proof or info from me they just denied me twice the day I hired Mr Thomas was the second denial for my dispute and that's when he sent his demand letter it did take the exact amount of time he said it would about 8 weeks for them to settle and a little over a month to send the settlement agreement after that it was 2 weeks when he messaged to let me know that the check came in and he had sent mine out and it took 10 days to receive it I put it in the bank and it took 2days for it too go thru and it's been about a week and a half now never bounced he is legit he cares and he does everything he says he will he's a good man I received a little more than what I lost and I'm so grateful for him he really fights for us little guys for the reviews on here complaining about his fee I feel like yes it is steep but I did nothing I sent him my info and what had happened he did the rest it was all him he earned every penny of that fee that's how I feel about it I gave him the info he needed and he went to bat for me I didn't have to think about it after he took over so I feel like you get what you pay for and he is worth it!!!! He kept me updated every step of the way if I had a question he was quick to answer it thru email normally that next morning I would get a response from him so I highly recommend him he's very professional and when Amex attorney wanted to take his sweet time Mr Thomas lit a fire under him to get the documents sent over he really was my saving grace if it wasn't for him I'd be out money and I'm forever grateful if this ever happens again he will be my first email but I'm never using Amex again or any prepaid cards so hopefully this never happens again stay away from prepaid cards they do not honor their word they will lie and say it's denied because you approved the transactions I was a customer with them for over 10 years and they lost me because of this they make millions of dollars off us and they don't care or want to give us our money back when they say it's insured and we can dispute it over and over again they will deny it every time because they can we're the little guys we literally feel as though we can't do anything about it but with attorneys like Mr Thomas we can he makes sure us little guys get what we're owed and makes these big companies pay Mr Thomas doesn't disappoint!!!!

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.
