Castle Law Group, PC (by KC):

Your words, not mine, but you are nonetheless absolutely correct. Getting scammed is indeed costly. Unfortunately, it is also rarely reversible.
Castle Law Group is currently being sued in Federal court in Florida by three different corporate entities, each of which has their own well paid attorneys looking out for their corporate profit interests, not those of hoodwinked Castle "clients". If Castle survives those multiple civil lawsuits, it seems unlikely that they will have a dime left when all is said and done. In fact, Castle Law Group may very well not even continue exist AT ALL unless they somehow manage to magically prevail in those lawsuits (which is extremely unlikely --- at best, in my personal opinion).
To answer your question directly, there is no class action lawsuit to "sign on to", nor will there be one. That is simply not a realistic option. For starters, you would NOT find any attorney anywhere willing to touch this smelly Castle mess with a stick --- let alone invest time and effort to initiate a plainly futile class action law suit. Legal actions take time and money and you can't get blood from a stone, so what would even be the point of attempting a class action lawsuit against Castle Law Group? This input is surely not what you want to hear (feel free to shoot the messenger) but it is the simple and unvarnished truth nonetheless.
Personally, I'd like to see the Tennessee Attorney General go after Castle Law Group for consumer fraud, entirely separate and apart from any potential bar / law license action by the TN Board of Professional Responsibility. However, I cannot honestly say I am confident that will ever actually happen.
I repeat my prior suggestion to file formal complaints with the two separate TN state entities clearly identified elsewhere within this thread. The ONLY remaining hope at this juncture, in my opinion, is the VERY remote possibility of court ordered restitution somewhere far down the road. This is highly unlikely, at best, particularly if Castle Law Group has already filed for bankruptcy as has been reported. Filing formal complaints with TN state entities (which costs you absolutely NOTHING, by the way) is an easy course of action available to you NOW. Follow or ignore that recommendation as you may see fit.
You can look at all the different "exit" scammers you want, including the one you have named above; there are always plenty of them around. However, the plain and simple truth is that *NO ONE* possesses any mystical powers to magically extricate you from a legally binding contractual obligation. If you want to get out of a timeshare ownership, there are several courses of action to pursue, none of them costing a penny out of pocket. Paying big money to ANY useless "exit / relief / escape / rescue" operation is NOT going to achieve your desired result. Like it or not, there are no magic beans or secret "escape" processes out there. Nonetheless, it is your prerogative to throw more money at other useless "exit" parasites, but you'll only be making your "education" even MORE expensive if you do so.
