They have only been in business a few years. They tell the lawyers they are in business for 35 years. (lie) they say they have been hand picked my managing editors. (lie) they are no managing editors. If you have a good credit card and are foolish enough to be talked into the sales pitch. Shame on you. They only care about the $'ss.

$999.95 platinum for a lifetime membership - a tacky eagle sclupure, book and google and press release. the press release on the there website only.

$499.95 Gold membership w/life time on google. same as above with no eagle

$349.95 plaque or book program w/life time on google --

135.00 just to be on google

All this is, is an ego trip they are selling. Seriouly does anyone believe a glossy book is worth $135.00.

You can get an IT person to put you on google and, have your name come up on the first page. What is dangerous the sales staff does not shred the credit card info it stays on there desks.   Linkedin is only $240.00 for the year. 

All the who's who's are folding...BUYER BEWARE. KEEP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY IN YOUR BANK. HANG UP ON SALES CALLS...

Top Attorneys of North America is Legit and I recommend them to every attorney that I know

AUTHOR: Mark - (United States)

POSTED: Monday, November 28, 2022

There are a lot of so-called "top attorneys" database sites out there who claim to be the best at what they do.

Take a closer look, it's easy to see that many of them are nothing more than media hogs who are trying to take advantage of unsuspecting clients.

Top Attorneys is the real deal. This is because they are at the TOP of Search engines providing a press release making their Attorneys profiles easily visible which is the spotlight. The cost of their Media Press Release Packages are no more than the average hour an hour that an attorney charges their clients.

The original corp has been around since 2008.

Stop hating and start congratulating. All we do as people are providing a service so we can provide for our family. Good job Top Attorneys, keep doing what you're doing.

#2 Consumer Comment

The Top Attorneys of America is a Scam

AUTHOR: Not a Victim - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, October 11, 2019

I read the original rip-off report and the company owner's rebuttal.  Whether the original complainer was an ex-employee or not does not matter because what was contained in the rip off report was true.  I know this because I have been contacted by this company several times in the past. 

It is always the same pitch.  First they know my name (which they got from the public state Bar website) and they say that I was hand picked by their editors to feature me in an article they want to write about me due to all of my accomplishments as a lawyer over the past several years. 

REALLY !  I was in a crash 13 years ago which left me unable to practice law at all, so I have had no accomplishments, or even any activity.  I maintain my active status as a lawyer simply because I worked so hard to get the license, I did not want to give it up.  So from the state Bar records, this company has no way of knowning that I have not been practicing. 

Simply this company uses the public records from the state Bar websites to get lawyers names and phone numbers and then does cold calling.  The initial "pitch" is to flatter lawyers about how great they are, just to get them into buying their worthless junk.  This is a form of "bait & switch," which in some states is illegal. 

Oh and if your credit card is maxed out, wait for their pitch asking you to contact your credit card company to increase your line of credit. 

The company can no longer get through to me as I have their phone number blocked.  But I can verify from my personal experience that everything that the original complainer said was true and what the company owner said in the rebuttal was false.  And BTW if the owner had identified the employee by name in the rebuttal, what was said about the employee actually would have been defamatory.

This is in response to the post by an ex-employee.  We felt it would be easier to outline the whole complaint.  Our responses to the allegations are made are in parentheses and highlighted in yellow.  Thank you to Ripoff Report for providing this service to keep consumers safe.

 

Top Attorney's of North America Who's Who Inside Sales-(TRUE)-the sales pitch was fraudulent (DEFAMATORY – NOBODY LIES AND EVERYONE GETS WHAT THEY PAY FOR). they have only been in business under current new..they had to change to new name due to credit card fraud Bellmore, New York Internet (DEFAMATORY – WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING UNDER THE SAME CORPORATION AND THE SAME MERCHANT TERMINALS SINCE MARCH, 2009; WE LAUNCHED A NEW EDITION DEDICATED TO ATTORNEYS)

They have only been in business a few years. (DEFAMATORY – INCORPORATED SINCE 2009) They tell the lawyers they are in business for 35 years. (lie)(NO DEFAMATORY – THIS IS WHY THIS EX EMPLOYEE DID NOT DO WELL AS SHE COULD NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS-  “THE MANAGING EDITORS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZING PROFESSIONALS AND IN THE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 35 YEARS) they say they have been hand picked my managing editors. (lie) (NO- DEFAMATORY AGAIN – “YOU HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION INTO THE UPCOMING EDITION”) they are no managing editors.(DEFAMATORY – YES THERE IS MANAGING EDITORS –PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT) If you have a good credit card and are foolish enough to be talked into the sales pitch. Shame on you. They only care about the $'ss.  (SOMEWHAT TRUE – AS A COMPANY SUPPORTED BY THE SALE OF THE EXECUTIVE ITEMS, OF COURSE WE CARE ABOUT POSITIVE CASH FLOW.  WHAT COMPANY WOULDN’T?  HOWEVER, WE DO AIM TO PLEASE AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS HAPPY.)

$349.95 plaque or book program w/life time on google – (TRUE)

135.00 just to be on google (FALSE - $199.80)

All this is, is an ego trip they are selling. Seriouly does anyone believe a glossy book is worth $135.00.  (FALSE - AGAIN, PERHAPS WHY THIS EMPLOYEE DID NOT DO WELL – THE BOOKS ARE $349.85 AND DO SERVE AS A DOCUMENTED LEGACY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL)

You can get an IT person to put you on google and, have your name come up on the first page. (TRUE – HOWEVER, WE SERVE AS A THIRD PARTY ENDORSEMENT) What is dangerous the sales staff does not shred the credit card info it stays on there desks(DEFAMATORY – ALL ORDERS ARE IN FILING CABINETS UNDER LOCK AND KEY – NO DATA IS STORED ELECTRONICALLY EITHER) Linkedin is only $240.00 for the year. 

All the who's who's are folding...(TRUE – THE NON-REPUTABLE ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE WORDS WHO’S WHO WITHIN THEIR TITLES ARE FOLDING.  FORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN SUCH BUSINESS PRACTICES.) BUYER BEWARE. KEEP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY IN YOUR BANK. HANG UP ON SALES CALLS...
