Carrie Mc Cluskey, it amazes us as to how you are still yet to back off from the Belford Lawsuit after having witnessed Googasian P.C experience nil rate of success, leave alone the massive negative publicity that’s come its way.

We thought of further enlightening you about your fate in this regard. You see, even if Googaisan manages to win the Belford Lawsuit which in itself would be no less than a miracle, you won’t get anything more than a meager percentage of your tuition fee as in the case of Court Reporting School which would talk about later in this post. Have a look at what Wikipedia has to say in relevance to class actions.

According to Wikipedia:
Class members often receive little or no benefit from class actions. Examples cited for this include large fees for the attorneys, while leaving class members with coupons or other awards of little or no value; unjustified awards are made to certain plaintiffs at the expense of other class members; and confusing notices are published that prevent class members from being able to fully understand and effectively exercise their rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_action

Now let’s talk about the class action lawsuit Googasian filed against Academy of Court Reporting in Clawson – a local school in Michigan offering court reporting certificates to its students by the end of their course, claiming that the certificates would secure their students decent jobs at the court.

Googasian filed a class action against the school and managed to gather about 1300 students and ultimately won the case, hence the settlement amount of $7.8 million for the tuition fee paid by the students participating in the class action.

So far so good? Well, here comes the hitch. Googasian very conveniently kept $2.5 million of the above mentioned amount to itself, dividing the rest of the amount among the participants.

Yes, that obviously came up to barely one third of each of the student’s tuition fee. But of course the students felt taken for granted and played up by the clever attorneys at Googasian.

Therefore, three participant students filed objections to the settlement with the court.

Sylvia John of New Haven, who graduated from the academy in 2006 said after the hearing that she is dissatisfied with the settlement. “I was expecting more,” said John, who paid over $30,000 in tuition and has not been able to get work as a court reporter.

Carrie, we can only hope that you finally take heed to all this and move on, far away from the malicious Googasian P.C.
