Update from the President of TCA 

 
Good morning everyone! How was your week? Was it profitable? Was it fun? I took my girls up to Flagstaff to play in the snow. The problem was that there WASN’T much snow. It was supposed to snow all weekend, but it ended up just raining and snowing a little. Not nearly enough to sled with (which is what we hoped to do). That’s always something that’s super hard for my wife and me as parents. When your little one is SO excited to do something, but you can’t make it happen. Aubrey didn’t seem to care very much. She was happy tromping through the light dusting of snow on the ground. Sydney was super disappointed. “Daddy, all I want to do is go sledding! Can we PLEASE go sledding?” Since the rain was washing away the little snow left on the ground all I could do was apologize to my precious girl and try to explain why we (adults) are sometimes wrong about the weather. “But Daddy, you PROMISED it was going to snow all night!” Me: “I know honey, I’m sorry, the weather guy was wrong.” Sydney: “Well, you weren’t wrong, and I don’t know who weather guy us but your phone was wrong. Make your phone right Daddy!” At least she still made us laugh in a disappointing situation!

 

On the work side of things, we have had a very interesting week. We’ve been following the Purina Beneful class action lawsuit which alleges the food is bad for dogs and may actually kill these poor pups. That story’s got legs due to our readers’ four legged friends and now it has received more than 36,000 Facebook Likes. That is INSANE! We’ve never had a story go that viral before. It’s been a great boon to our newsletter subscriber numbers while also helping boost awareness of the site itself. That’s something that’s pretty awesome. Our website is viewed by the most successful class action attorneys and settlement administrators in the country. Every class action lawyer I met with last week knows about and FOLLOWS Top Class Actions. Attorneys are so used to getting hit up by vendors for money I would often get an annoyed “why are you bothering me” look when they figured out I’m not an attorney. The great thing is that once I told them “I’m Top Class Actions,” they smile and say “I LOVE YOUR SITE! I check it every week! Your team is amazing!” A few years ago I’d have to do my elevator pitch and tell them about this neat little website that’s growing. Now they know about US and are excited to meet me. I also heard more than once “you work with attorney x so I know you’re legitimate and deliver. No need to prove it, let’s just get a campaign going!” Super duper awesome. Take care of your clients and they will take care of you! OK, on to more lawsuit and settlement updates:

Warm Regards,

Scott Hardy

President
