I was very satisfied with the attention I received from this firm. I consulted them at the Waterloo office. They listened to my concerns and were to-the-point in the advice that they gave me. I would definitely use them again. read more

I would rate 0 stars did not return my call after I requested a call verbally and in writing

They rescheduled 3 of my appts than finally tell me they cant represent me, HORRIBEL SERVICE, USELESS

I have dealt with Blake wall group on several occasions over the years I have found them to be knowledgeable, attentive and above all honest. read more

Avoid this firm at all costs. I've never encountered a more unethical attorney. Their priority seems to be maximizing billing while avoiding direct communication. Phone calls are practically non-existent, yet the charges keep piling up. Just read the other reviews--there's a clear pattern of this behavior. read more

BEWARE! I acquired Jenifer Behme for my child custody case and after 3 months, nothing done, and $6000 they feel that "they no longer have the authority to handle my case" when I asked for a reasonable payment plan. Under their representation my ex took my kids away from me for 3 months, I was assaulted twice, once by my ex, and once by my ex's boyfriend and resulted in myself getting a broken jaw and undergoing surgery. Ms. Behme was very incentive and did not care one bit. When I emailed her about my ex going crazy, pending felony charges, and being homeless with my children, she responded with a billing statement. These people do not care about the lives of families and only want money. I trusted these people with my family and they showed their true colors. read more

This lawyer stood out to me because they all looked friendly in the group photo. After he got the money for a very simple will he was difficult to respond to phone call questions. His mannerism was arrogant. He would ask me a question and then cut me off when I attempted to answer. Very unprofessional and I got the feeling through all of the stuttering he didn't know what he was doing. He kept try to coerce my mother into changing her will after she already told him what she wanted! read more

Mr. Blake is more interested in getting in your pockets than winning your case. We wanted to go in front of judge. After 18months we parted ways. All Mr. Blake did was review our file multiple times and emails. Mr.Blake did not follow our wishes. Mr.Blake is rude on the phone and Mr. Links a partener listens in for double charge. My phone records said 15min Mr Blake charged 40min. Mr. Links charged 40min. Who is this guy. I was not the one in charge but I called Mr.Blake out on his lack of professionalism. Mr.Blake gouged us. read more

Snakes in professional clothing. They will bill you for tons of time and little to no work. In my opinion, save your money and find a better place. I also suspect their 5star Google reviews are paid for. read more

I used Blake Law Group, P.C. to handle the purchase of my home. I was completely thrilled with how quickly they took care of this matter from start to finish. They were very friendly and professional. They pointed out details in this transaction that we would not have thought of. We were kept informed of what was going on throughout the entire process. The fee was reasonable too. Will use them again if the need for a lawyer should arise in the future. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer for anything. They are great. read more

This the worst service I've ever received from an attorney. They do NOT email or call you back until 2 weeks later. They charged me $1.2k to write 2 letters. They were supposed to help me get my name of a loan I co-signed. They did nothing but write two letters and kept charging me for doing nothing. read more

Blake did a terrible job on my case. My lawyer was Megan Gilbreth - no communication, I was in the dark the whole time - she didn't seem to care about my case - I have nothing positive to say, but it seems this law firm likes money. They might actually start listening after hearing your hard earned cash might not get transferred to them anymore...maybe. I WON my case on a retrial, with a different lawyer. I must say they are lacking in professionalism too. Basically, how much money do you make? We will take your case since you make enough. Who cares about your case, unless it is a super easy one. Next thing you know - you're shopping for another lawyer. read more

I had the absolute worst experience with this law firm. I hired them to represent me as I tried to take my ex husband back to court to modify my custody arrangement. I attempted to change one simple part of the agreement dealing with college tuition. They took over a year going to court. Back and forth meeting with a judge, doing everything my ex's lawyer wanted as they kicked the van down the road month after month. They charged me an excessive amount of money to essentially do nothing for me. After I tried to fire them they sued me for payment for services not rendored. Do not use this law firm they are terrible. I'm hoping my complaint to the bar association is processed swiftly. read more

We found Ed Blake through an internet search when my husband's brother died in that area. We live out of state. He thoroughly understood IL property law and our situation with a difficult landlord. He handled everything professionally, always keeping in communication with us. We were satisfied with the outcome. We found Ed Blake to be warm and ethical. We recommend his service read more

Blake Law Group was incredibly attentive to my legal matter. I was given easy to understand answers, clear expectations on time requirements, and my matter was handled very professionally. I highly recommend using Blake Law Group for your relevant legal matters. Their legal team is top notch! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Edward Blake misrepresented his services to us and was only interested in collecting his fee. He spent a total of 5 minutes listening to us and didn't provide the documentation we needed. When we tried to follow up to get it resolved we got the run around and ultimately wasted time and money. Look elsewhere. read more

Since my first experience with Ed Blake in 2013, my husband and I have used his office for a few different items - will, estate planning. Each time we are impressed with not only Ed but the legal assistants as well. It's clear his many years of experience benefit his clients. read more

I hired Ed Blake for distribution of a family member's trust. Mr. Blake was very knowledgeable along the way and made sure I received the portion I was entitled. If you are looking for an aggressive attorney who protects his clients best interests, then Mr. Blake is the lawyer for you! Definitely would use him again if the need arises! Thanks again for your hard work. read more

I also had a terrible experience with this law firm and I advise individuals not to use Blake Law Group for any of their legal needs. I was scheduled with different attorneys and one was very inexperienced that always had to refer to Mr. Blake. She scheduled me for a court appearance which she was unprepared and then the firm charged me for her time!!!!! It was not my fault that she did not have documentation and research accurate!! I am a single parent trying to establish support for my child and ending up wasting money/time and my case was closed without any resolution. So I am out of thousands of dollars and have to hire another attorney that is competent to establish a order for child support and joint custody. Please don't go to this legal firm, they are the worst that I have ever had to deal with, they impose a financial hardship on you and your family instead of helping resolve your legal issues!! I'm glad to get this off my chest so that another family doesn't have to deal with financial agony. read more

I feel like the Blake Law Group pulled a bait and switch on me. I originally retained Jennifer Behme, whom seemed very knowledgeable, then was assigned Megan Gilberth without explanation. Megan Gilberth has absolutely no business practicing family law. She is not knowledgeable on the subject. I hired the Blake Law Group to represent me to get arrears removed and obtain a modification of my support order. I found more information on my case on Google then I did from her. She does not respond to emails, calls, or voicemails. I only met with her a few weeks before going to court, she didn't remember meeting me before while in court. The results in court were laughable. I am now in worse shape than before hiring the Blake Law Group. Ms. Gilberth refused to fight for me. I already felt like a caged animal because of a narcissistic ex-wife that has manipulated me and my children. Now I'm in debt to a horrible attorney with a resolution that I could have been had without any representation. She knew the history of the judge we were to argue my case in front of but failed to tell me that most of my evidence would not be admissible. The whole case could have been over for the $500 retainer. $10,000 later and I am worse off than before. After complaining about Megan's service to the managing partner, Edward Blake, they firm withdrew from my case. read more

What a JOKE. Went 3 weeks of not returning phone calls, e-mails. Finally got a bill for over $800 on a Monday called and the secretary told me they would use my retaining fee towards fee and made an appointment to talk to Jennifer on Thursday, well Wednesday got a bill for over $1200 wasn't worried cause suppose to talk to Jennifer the next day. NO CALL instead got a certified letter saying their dropping my case due to non payment ALL WITH IN A WEEK. called and demanded to talk to Blake got a call from some Nathen. Charged for reading e-mails that were never read. When Blake screwed up my income in court and called to talk to them never again got a phone call back instead i got an e-mail. I ended up having to hire another lawyer to fix their mistakes they never told me about motion to reconsider you only have 30 days to file. They didn't care about me or my family we spent $3750 and would have been better off to not even show up for court on my own. If you like just giving money away with no result call this law firm, if you prefer someone that will help call ANYBODY else. Finally had enough called and asked how much i owed and was told after my last payment I was in the good not including my retaining fee then they tacked on more charges and took all but $79 saying they had to do more work after I was told i'm getting all of my retaining fee back. read more

I had a horrible experience with this law firm. I hired Ed Blake as a custody lawyer. I was sent through four lawyers total in their firm and got no where with my case. I was even scheduled with a new lawyer once only to find out it was his last day at the firm. Like that guy was going to spend any time with me going over my case. If anything, this law firm put me in a much worse place than I was at the beginning. I truly felt like all they were doing was sucking money from my wallet. I have nothing to show for my time with these lawyers except the HUGE bills and have since move to a better firm. Blake Law Group is the reason people hate lawyers! read more
