Blake Behme Law Group, P.C. 521 West Main Street, Belleville, IL 62220

"Ed Blake prepared some estate planning documents for me and everything was great. Mr. Blake and the legal assistants were wonderful to deal with. Everything was handled properly and professionally. They were careful to point out if I did not understand everything, I could talk with them anytime I wish before proceeding. They seemed competent and were more than willing to accommodate my wishes."

"Took nearly 6000.00 from me and never did any of the things they were asked to do. They asked me several times if I wanted items sent over to the executors attorney. I told them yes with several witnesses in the room in November 2023 and ended up having to go to their office today February 15, 2024 and retrieved all the items that were supposed to be sent to the other attorney and hand delivered them myself. While I am waiting for a forensic accountant to look over what I was charged for and what work they say they did, I am having to start completely over with my grandmother's estate. I have to relive the loss of the last living member from my father's side of the family. Edward Blake Jr. Only spoke to me 2 times for a total of 30 minutes and his office would only tell me they would let the attorney know anytime I called with a question. And honestly I didn't call because I never received any answers for any of the questions I did ask him and his staff. Find someone else. Be warned and aware before calling this firm for help."

"I've had a family law attorney through these guys for over 2.5 years now. Never had issues making payments. They've seen my court case from the beginning to the end with no issues from me. I have a hearing in a couple weeks and have been unemployed for a couple months, unable to make any payments on my debt. I asked to have my monthly payments lowered to a more manageable amount and the request was denied. They all know I don't have a job and can't afford to make my payments at the moment while I look for work. So what do they do? They request I pay all of my debt in a lump sum and filed a motion to leave. On top of that, as soon as a decision was made in my case, my attorney pretty much washed her hands of the whole thing. Any concerns I had? Rarely followed up with. It takes 3 weeks or longer to schedule an appointment with her. This firm is terrible and they only care about money. They have no concerns for their clients and no regard for anybody's well-being except their own. You could kill yourself and they'd still try to find a way to capitalize off of it. I'd strongly recommend going somewhere else for a family law attorney, especially if you're a single father. You'll just end up broke and worse off than when you started if you hire anyone from this law firm. There's better lawyers around you just have to call around and find them. I was just unlucky enough to hire these money hungry thieves because my attorney sounded knowledgeable. Don't make the same mistake I did"

"paid over 5200.00 and didn't get good service hire one attorney paid for two attorneys Please read your contract with them carefully Because if you call to ask a question, with a one minute respond it will cost you 30 minutes and because he has to consult with someone else that another 30 minute 295.00 per hour is a total ripped off. I felt like they only made a bad situation worst for me. Now I'm 5300.00 in debt dealing with them."

"I find the Blake Law Firm to be responsive and keenly interested in doing their best to make sure that they fully and effectively represent their client’s interests. Barb works extremely hard to keep the information flowing and Mr. Blake and his team of lawyers provide excellent advice and representation. I highly recommend these folks for their professionalism and effectiveness."
