Anyone have experience with Castle Law Group, PC out of Tennessee (by KC):

Correct on all counts, as far as I know. Mikaey may have tried (unsuccessfully) to file a AG complaint against an individual person / attorney, instead of filing a complaint against the firm itself, which can most certainly be done, including online.
Not sure that FBI (or FTC) complaints will ultimately prove to be productive however, since it's unclear (at least to me) that there is actually overt violation of Federal law involved.
Castle parasites accept money for "contracted services" and then (maybe) push some paper around and send out some correspondence, ultimately accomplishing no "exits". They can (and they will) claim to be "making sincere efforts", but magical exit is something they ultimately cannot actually deliver anyhow, in the final analysis. Their practices are clearly unethical and reprehensible --- but unlikely to elicit FBI interest or involvement, unless the FBI regards the activity as large scale criminal fraud, perpetrated across state lines. That conclusion is highly unlikely (in my personal opinion), but I would certainly be glad to be proven wrong, It is frankly just very hard for me to imagine that, with so many much bigger fish to fry in this day and age, that the FBI is going to invest resources into a matter where people who once voluntarily purchased what is essentially a "luxury" item are now choosing to pay even MORE money to a law firm to try to get OUT of a legally binding, contractual obligation that was once freely and voluntarily taken on. Not a whole lot of "victim appeal" there --- and maybe no actual violation of any Federal law anyhow. Color me dubious.
