The “complaint” above was fabricated by a jealous, non-attorney competitor who cannot compete so, like a coward, chooses to anonymously post lies. But like most cowards, their fear compounds their stupidity and they post things that are easily refuted. In the end, the target of their gutless attacks is strengthened by the opportunity to share easily verifiable truths.
It is doubtful that anyone who is smart enough to turn on his or her computer would believe a single word of the "complaint" above. However, why waste a chance to promote a top-rated law firm by responding to fictitious complaint full of lies.
- LIE #1 - Unethical billing practices.
PROOF THAT IT IS A LIE: If it were true, the California State Bar Association would post a public complaint, investigate, and then suspended the license of any attorney who did engaged in such activity. Then the Attorney General would shut down the office and prosecute. One look at the State Bar web site shows that no complaint of ANY kind has ever been filed against Mr. Higbee or ANY attorney associated with the law firm.

If it were true, the Better Business Bureau would show complaints. But in fact, there are none and REC0RDG0NE has an “A” rating with the Better Business Bureau.

TRUTH: The law firm and EVERY attorney has a spotless reputation with every state licensing authority. The law firm has handled thousands of cases and does not have a single complaint. Their fees are flat-fees so clients always know exactly how much they will pay. There are no finance charges and no extra costs for a payment plan. It is the best of all worlds. Clients have total peace-of-mind when using the law firm.
LIE #2 - Attorneys Graduated From Online Law School
PROOF THAT IT IS A LIE: The law firm posts links to the state bar associations that show the law school attended by each attorney.
Mr. Higbee graduated with several honors from the prestigious University of Utah College of Law— including for pro bono work.
See that the University of Utah law school was ranked by US News & World Report as a Tier One Top Law School http://gradschools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/law/search/page+3 . He has also served as a guest lecturer and as a member of the law school's Board of Trustees.
TRUTH: Every attorney used by the law firm graduated from a top American Bar Association (ABA) approved law school. Clients know that well-trained, licensed professionals are representing them.
LIE #3 - Complaints Filed
PROOF THAT IT IS A LIE: Complaints against attorneys are made public and posted online by the state bar associations that license attorneys and are prosecuted by state attorney generals Bar associations do this to protect the public. The law firm posts links to the state bar web sites so you can see the licenses of every attorney and see there are no complaints and never have been.

TRUTH: The law firm has handled thousands of cases and has NEVER HAD A SINGLE COMPLAINT FILED with any bar association in the country. Spotless reputations + zero complaints + thousands of successful cases = total peace-of-mind.
LIE #4 - An Attorney Does Not Want To Be Associated With REC0RD G0NE
PR00F THAT IT IS A LIE: If this were true, the anonymous author of this complaint would be able to give the name of the person and show a connection to the law firm. But they cannot, so they do not. Every attorney who has ever worked with REC0RD G0NE still has a working or positive relationship with the law firm.
TRUTH: The law firm is top-rated and respected by customers, courts and other attorneys. They handle thousands of clients a year, many are referred by other attorneys and former clients. You can see feedback from clients and other attorneys at http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/92627-ca-mathew-higbee-249594.html Avvo.com is the largest independent source verified reviews about attorneys.

To the coward who posted this...

2. Your unimaginative and desperate tactic is evidence as to why your business is failing
3. If you and the few cheese-whiz eaters who work part-time for you think that you can hide behind your corporation and anonymous posts, you are about to get a lesson in law.
