Complaints
Current Alerts For This Business
Based on BBB files Criminal Defense League has a pattern of consumer complaints. Specifically, complaints allege that clients pay an upfront legal fee (“retainer”) ranging between $1,000 & $7,500 and do not receive the legal representation they required for a family member or loved one. After complainants pay the company’s requested retainer fee, they reportedly cannot get an update on the status of their case, and in many instances ask for a refund which is not received. They often end up having to dispute charges with their credit card company.
On May 8, 2019, BBB sent correspondence to Criminal Defense League requesting their voluntary cooperation in resolving complaints on file with BBB and providing steps it will implement to eliminate the pattern of customer complaints. As of May 21, 2019 Criminal Defense League has not responded to BBB's correspondence.
