Be careful with ambiguous wording. They will charge you the full subscription and not just $2

Ask a Lawyer - Be careful with ambiguous wording. They will charge you the full subscription and...
I wanted to ask a question regarding recourse on an employment matter and when I found the site online it seemed legitimate enough. The only $2 fee was prominently displayed but the fact that they will charge you $2 + $66 all at once and then refuse to reimburse you even if you unsubscribe right away is not properly highlighted. This is easy to do by updating their site so it is not confusing so if they have not done this to date considering a lot of people like me are getting confused and getting a bad surprise when they discover the charges it's a bad sign. Also, the person that will answer your question is not a lawyer (no matter that you pay $68 dollars already). They prompt you to pay extra to talk to a real lawyer on the phone. The advice they give is useful but generic as they will not , for example, read your contract or really hear your description of the situation. You are better off Googling the question or deciding to pay the $350 fee for a consultation with a law firm so you can actually discuss the details of your case.

to talk to attorney who mainly dealt with slander civil suits. I was given a choice of spending $5.00 or $60.00. I chose to hit the button for $5.00s. that was on 2/13/24. I went to my bank to check on this since I used a debit card. I was told by my bank that yes the $5.00 was taken out but their was also pending a $60.00 DOLOLAR FEE. Since it was the weekend and monday was a legal holiday nothing would post till thefollowing tuesday. I went to my bank early that saturday to put a stop pay on that $60.00. I thought it was taken care ofbut I found out onthe mornng of 2/20/24 that it the debit card could not have a stop pay on it thru my bank mngr. on the 21st of feb i went back to my bank and found out that the $60.00 was taken out oof my account.NOW listen up everyone out their, I TRIED TO CALL THIS GROUP, AND i GOT TWO DIFFERENT NICKENPOOPS OF DIFFERENT NATIONALITY THAT COULD NT SPEAK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROPERLY AND TALKED A !00 MILES A MINUET AND WOULDNT LISTEN AT ALL THE FIRST NAME WAS DENIEL i THINK THE SECOND ONE WAS EZIEKIAL ? now becaues of a womens false allegations toward me and since she told this three times to a third party, and

Fraud. Do not fill out any financial forms. They will rip you off. It is a scam!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
No results. Just a refundable $5 charge. Except they never refund anything. They just keep charging your card for more money every month without helping. Their Pearl Wilson is a very ineffective and limited response artificial intelligence whose only purpose is to con you & get your money. I kept requesting a human and it was like she couldn't even read the request. One huge scam. I'm reporting them to the FCC & the FBI.

MOROVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO APPROPRIATELY HELP ME OR REFER ME WHERE I COULD GET HELP.

They fraudulently charged my bank account without my permission and refused to refund me the money they scammed. They solicited a credit card right away and promised to charge only 5 dollars. Then I refused to join their membership, but they still went ahead and charged my account for a membership I did not approve of. I called my bank and tomorrow I will get in touch with the District Attorney's office to file a complaint.STAY AWAY

Answered 2 questions, but on 3rd told me to see a lawyer.And the disbursement of funds? Lawyer AttorneyExpert, Lawyer Today, 1:30 PM You may call your local Legal Aid office to see if they can help. If you can afford a lawyer, all the better if not, then you may even search for pro bono assistance in your area. Just google it and you will find plenty to contact. If thats not a success either then you may need to do this yourself. Throughout the United States, typical lawyer fees usually range from about $100 an hour to $400 an hour. These hourly rates will increase with experience and practice area specialization. So the more experienced lawyer you hire the more it will cost you. These extra resources may be helpful to you:

Ask a Lawyer is a SCAM

I sent Ask a Lawyer an email to ask if it was really free to answer just one question. I filled out all their forms, including the one with my question, and what came back was a fee schedule for answering my question. Stay AWAY from them - they are a SCAM. Here is their website:A new question is answered every 9 seconds Legal Real Estate Law Family Law Employment Law Immigration Law Consumer Protection Estate Law 29 Lawyers are Online Now Here is my question:are you really a free service Here is their response: Confirm your appointment with a Lawyer Your total deposit is $60. Place a $5 deposit now to confirm your appointment. Your remaining balance of $55 will be processed when your Expert responds.
