Re: Anyone have experience with Castle Law Group, PC out of Tennessee (by Mikae Y.):
You are misunderstanding what I wrote. The case with Castle Law is done. I got money back and I am moving on to fight the Timeshare contract with the dealer who sold me the timeshare. That is what I meant, "bringing them to a small claim court."

However, I really have to have a good strategy and again, persistence. In the end, they really misrepresented to me for the benefits I can get, plus no explanations about "negative" outcome. That is a clearly fraud to me.You would have great difficulty pursuing a small claims court case, since your payment to Castle has already been refunded in full to you by American Express. In short, you have ALREADY been "made whole". Filing a civil suit against Castle would involve incurring significant personal legal expenses (...and having to get in line behind several "deep pockets" corporate entities already doing so). You could attempt to file a complaint alleging criminal fraud, but that would be a tough "sell" to busy prosecutors, particularly since you have already received a 100% refund (via American Express) of the upfront money you had previously forked over to those parasites.
I frankly don't see that you have any realistic further options available, unless you are willing to dig deep into your own pockets to file suit. Parasites like this "Castle Law Group" deserve all of the headache and inconvenience and scorn and exposure that can possibly be heaped upon them by the many consumers they have so shamelessly hoodwinked, but legal representation to pursue civil litigation would certainly be very costly.
Ironically, Castle Law Group principal Judson Phillips will have to hire and pay legal counsel to represent him in Federal court in Florida, since Phillips reportedly has no license to practice law in Florida. Personally, I hope that Judson Phillips has to spend a fortune in legal fees (and penalties) before all is said and done --- and I further hope that the "castle" ultimately crumbles and disappears FOREVER.
