Blake wouldn't listen and tried to milk a retainer fee instead of providing the best services for his client

Had an free no fee consultation. When i spoke he seemed impatiently rude with listening to anything i had to say, then within a few minutes he wanted to discuss payment before he gave me any information. I didn't even know if i needed a lawyer yet, and just wanted to discuss and ask about how child mediation works. Got no relevant information about the process.

Put a $1,000 deposit on a child custody case. Court appearance was reschedule 3 times and I had 3 different lawyers from this firm show up as my "lawyer" to the courthouse. Not 1 of them knew anything about my case. I was then sent a $3,000 bill and we never even seen a judge. The charges were for "paperwork" according to this scandalous firm.

Edward Blake was extremely rude, cut me off when at almost every sentence, and then just told me how much it would cost to hire him and then conversation was done. I would never recommend him to anyone, in fact I called the Illinois Lawyer Finder that told me about him to let them know what a jerk he was and will let anyone that needs a lawyer know to avoid this place like a black plague. I wish I could give zero stars!

Scheduled an appointment to have a free consultation regarding the legal aspects of rental property. The lawyer acted like I was wasting his time and kept referring me to a Tax Specialist even though my questions were regarding legal aspects like leases and LLC's. I will not do business with this law firm. Very bad first impression.

I wanted to pay an attorney for 1 hour and get some advice on a tax issue. Was told the initial consultation was free. Only advice during the consultation was to tell me how high the fees were and no discussion until retainer was paid. Not a good experience at all. thanks for nothing,

It was very difficult to get ahold of them unless i owed them money. I feel i would have been better off defending myself!! They bled me for money and in the end were less than helpful, BIG promises and very small results!
