This is Very Misleading.... DonP says HE is JUST trying to HELP....... but All I see are unsupported Lies.... and accusations which HE has no proof to support what he's saying.
I have talked to former clients of Castle Law Group(CLG) and they told me , it did take a long time to get the results. There's also some people who've had their money(up-front fees) as DON describes.... refunded.
Why believe some self-proclaimed "Guru" that He's the one to believe..... THe Owner I deal with will NOT accept any Quit claim, or a request to take back the week that I own. Haven't heard this guy explain what to do in this instance..... try getting rid of something that the owner refuses to accept.
Hopefully this guy will go Debate the USA economy, instead of timeshares.......... HE doesn't own one anymore, why does HE criticize someone who HE hasn't used personally, unless maybe HE used to work for them, Perhaps?????
Makes me wonder....... There's also a Lawsuit filed by the CLG, but of course that isn't mentioned here, by Mr Don P..... not sure , but HE sounds like a lawyer , himself.
I could be wrong...........
Continuing to disagree, the more I read, the more I don't follow the motivation behind these accusations!

George L. T.:
DonP can certainly speak for himself; it is not my role (or intent) to "defend" him, but I'm nonetheless reasonably sure that his position (which I share, by the way) is quite simply that it is unwise and a complete waste of money to pay upfront fees to ANY entity (law firm or otherwise) that promises "escape / rescue / exit / relief " from a timeshare obligation. This viewpoint, by the way, is completely unrelated and irrelevant to the nature and content of the lawsuits filed in Federal Court in Florida against Castle Law Group by Westgate, et al.
DonP is definitely NOT an attorney and I'm quite certain that he has no affiliation of any sort, past or present, with Castle Law Group. I certainly do not agree at all with SOME of his conclusions or viewpoints or recommendations, but I nonetheless believe that his intentions are good, with no hidden agenda --- and that he has consumer interests at heart. There is certainly nothing wrong with ANY of that.
You can rest assured that Westgate could not care less about Castle clients (donors?). Their concern is the headaches and response time consumption that CLG creates for THEM --- no more, no less. You may or not be aware that Westgate has an established track record of seeming to have a fondness for litigation. Westgate appealed a recent courtroom loss all the way to the TN Supreme Court within in the past year or so (where they STILL lost).
If someone with FIRST HAND experience and success EVER appeared in these forums to claim and describe exactly when, how and why they had "success" with Castle Law Group, the narrative here might be considerably different. However, among 83,000 registered members on Timeshare Users Group, no such first hand claim has EVER appeared --- NEVER. Likewise with these RedWeek discussion forums --- silence, crickets, nada. Accordingly, it's reasonable to be "dubious" about CLG ever actually producing any results.
In any case, these are discussion forums, where reasonable people can agree to disagree. The topic of people trying to unload unwanted timeshare obligations always elicits emotional responses. Many people are justifiably angry about having been hoodwinked and having grossly overpaid for a developer-direct timeshare purchase. Sometimes that anger gets displaced, then heightened by unwisely paying upfront fees to (supposedly) "exit". Anger and consternation and finger pointing inevitably arise from the fact that it is a situation impossible to "reverse" once a contract rescission period expires. Rescission rights are provided by state law, but range only from 3-10 days, depending on the individual state. It's a difficult and sensitive topic. Speaking only for myself, not for a single moment do I believe that "Castle Law Group" has EVER actually produced any results, but it is your personal right and prerogative to believe otherwise, despite the complete absence of any actual evidence or documentation or claims of success from ANYONE --- EVER!
