Update from the President and CEO of Top Class Actions 

Good morning! It’s been a busy week as always. We launched some new campaigns and we’ve got more in the pipeline. We are truly lucky to have the clients we work with. Their support, and YOU, make this whole business possible. As always, I’m 100% focused on making sure you are told about every single lawsuit and settlement possible to see if you qualify. I don’t want any of our viewers to miss out on a potential payday. On the publicity side of things I’m currently working on a new marketing plan which we will test in Phoenix to see how well (if) it works. I’m not releasing the details yet (I still need to get final approval from all of the individual stakeholders) but it’s an innovative way to get the word out about Top Class Actions WITHOUT buying traditional advertising. Fingers crossed I can make it work.

On the home front we’ve been spending a lot of time in the pool. I’m so happy that the girls LOVE it so much and are such good swimmers. There’s nothing like enjoying a cold root beer and watching the girls play in the pool. It’s a great feeling! This usually culminates with the girls getting bored and “throwing” me into the pool. Always a great time! I hope you are staying cool wherever you are!
