*REBUTTAL Owner of company: This Claim Has NO Basis Or Merit
Purchased the National Field Service Directory that was supposed to contain the contact names, phone numbers and addresses of companies interested in utilizing field service work from individuals seeking assignments (like myself).
In reality, the directory contained disconnected phone numbers, individuals that had no idea they were listed or even performed this type of work, and a few companies that were looking for work, but not offering any.
The directory was a complete waste of $84.00.
Don't fall for this one. It's just another piece of garbage floating about the wonderful world wide web.

Wonderful Source of Leads for Inspectors
AUTHOR: Susan - (United States)

I have been a member of SOFI for 15 years, and routinely get work from quality new companies that found my profile there. I check for new companies on occasion there, as well.
Richard Law has always been a reliable, honest source of information relevant to our industry. He provides a service clients and contractors both can depend on.
I know when a company has been vetted by Richard, I can count on them to pay me as promised. In 15 years, only one has left me hanging, and that was after 4 years of working with them when they closed their doors suddenly.

SOFI and Richard Law have helped me a lot!
AUTHOR: Angel - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 07, 2014
There are lots of rip offs in the field services industry but SOFI is NOT one of them. In fact my dealings with SOFI have been the solution to the things that are a rip off. I started in the business working for a company that wouldn't pay me and I got lots of help from Richard. Later on, I used his knowledge of the business to expand my workload in a new city and avoid choosing less than ethical companies. I found the directory to be very helpful and was hired by several new companies I found in the directory. This business is a mine field for new inspectors and SOFI is the best help available.

This directory was invaluable when I got started. As several folks have already said, Richard & Dorann are quality folks. They've been helping field inspectors get started for years.
Through his mentoring and guidance, Richard taught me how to avoid a lot of the landmines that get newbies in trouble and where the gold really was - commercial inspections. Now I'm teaching my students at fieldrep101.com!

Sofi is not a Ripoff!

Sofi in my opinion is not a ripoff! I purchased the directory also and it has made me money. I have since gone on to advertise on the Sofi website. The individual complaining must not want to work. I have gotten business from being listed in the directory. You get out of it what you put in! They have done everything for me that Richard and Dorann said they would! I recommend Sofi!

Look, I'm sorry this guy had trouble with SOFI, but that is not the case for me or hundreds of other fellow field service inspectors. The people at SOFI have been extremely helpful to me in setting up my business and providing guidence along the way. Thier services are top notch, including the National Field Service Directory! Please don't let one persons bad temper ruin the good name of this society.
Thanks for hearing me out,

I am a user of Richard Law's SOFI company a find them to be an excellent
organization. I would advise anyone starting in the field inspection business
to join SOFI immediately and run from the foreclosure bank inspector Co. of
Lansing, Michigan. Lee Page (((ROR REDACTED)))

$84.00 well spent for me!

I joined SOFI that is owned by Richard (3) years ago. I followed Richards instructions in contacting various types of inspection and I have been turning work down that I simply cannot get to. If you would contact for example,(1)RR.Donnelley,(2) Millinnieum you will have more inspections than one inspector can complete. James,Southern Indiana.

This Claim Has NO Basis Or Merit
AUTHOR: Richard - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 17, 2005
This claim has no basis or merit.
First, this person is not using his REAL name or address. James is not James and he lives in Indiana, not Missouri. The mis-information begins!
Second, this person was attempting to use a BUSINESS DIRECTORY to contact major corporations on a WEEKEND. It's no wonder this person could not get through on the telephone. Everyone knows that corporations don't answer their telephones on Saturday and Sunday.
Third, the product was sold with a satisfaction guarantee. He was told that he would receive a refund upon return of the product. A refund was not a problem.
Fourth, this person does NOT TELL YOU that he received a refund DIRECT to his credit card on the SAME DAY the product was returned.
You decide if this claim has any basis or merit.
Please contact me direct if you would like a copy of my letter to the Better Business Bureau and the letter I receive back.
