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

I have tried again and again to call them with no return calls and now I can't leave any message. I paid for their services via credit card in 2015. I would like to get my money back, but they're avoiding me. The Castle Group PC is a fraud and taking advantage of people like myself out of our funds, plus no closing my timeshare account.
Don't shoot the messenger, but there is NO chance that Castle Law Group is ever going to voluntarily return any money to you. No chance whatsoever. You can attempt a credit card dispute, but since you indicate having paid "Castle" over two years ago now, a credit card charge dispute now (two years and several months later) will be very difficult --- at best.
You would be wise to follow the advice already provided elsewhere in this thread and file formal complaints with the appropriate state authorities in Tennessee --- BOTH with the TN Attorney General and, separately, with the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility. Specific contact avenues for BOTH of those entities can be easily found by searching through this thread.
Your best hope of ever getting a dime back in this matter is *IF* the TN Attorney General goes after Castle Law Group for consumer fraud *AND* successfully prosecutes them *AND* obtains a court order for restitution to Castle "clients". Unfortunately, in my opinion, it is unlikely that ALL of those things will occur. Even if it got to the point of court ordered restitution, it is very likely that "Castle" won't have a dime left by then anyhow, not least because they are already looking at major legal defense costs in (3) separate civil lawsuits in Federal court. Also, they have reportedly filed for bankruptcy, which suggests (but certainly does not prove) that their "assets" MAY already be gone and that they MAY now be insolvent. The good news about that (if it's true) is that if they are now essentially "out of business", then they hopefully won't be taking advantage of any more new "clients".
By the time "Castle Law Group" finishes with the (currently three separate) lawsuits already in progress against them in Federal court, filed by corporate entities, "Castle Law Group" will be lucky to even continue to exist AT ALL. Who knows? Castle principal Judson Phillips might end up being disbarred and working in a "Tea Party" mail room, putting stamps on envelopes to solicit "Tea Party" contributions.
I am sorry for your predicament. Regrettably, your faith in those weasels was completely unfounded; it was a mistake to have ever paid them a single penny.
Apart from your unfortunate involvement with "Castle Law Group", you are still going to have to initiate action on your own regarding potential "deedback" to Tahiti Village --- assuming that there hasn't already been a foreclosure. Good luck.
