    I hope Rhonda does well in court! We existing are reading and listening, to afraid to post alot of the times because this organization appears to be like the mafia!! I don’t mean that lightly. They have us financially by the balls and it emotionally tears down the franchisee where it makes them difficult to do anything but fail. I pray the papers and various leaders within the courts continue digging because if everything was clean–they wouldn’t hide so much from us…………hard for us to prove a case when we can’t get the documents to prove it, very very hard! That is why they keep so much from us!

    Actually I do somewhat know what she is going through. I sued a National Insurance Carrier that I was captive with some years ago representing almost 20,000 Agents Nationwide in a class action and civil suit. I have been in the insurance industry 14 +years. I know what monsters I was up against. It is a very hard, sometimes isolated road. It is hard to take a stand. The insurance industry conducts itself as if it does not have to follow governmental rules, they have some the best attorneys that will come at you. Mine triggered a 10 year audit by the IRS, compliments of them subpeoning my tax records. They never play fair. I hate I have stepped into another company that is not ethical, nor plays by the rules. It took me 3 years but we won in settlement on class and individual. I interviewed attorneys and hired one on that could handle the guns they would come with and then took 9 boxes of documentation in his office and over a year of recordings that they knew nothing about (In some states only 1 person need to kknow about the recording)–they sucked air when they heard themselves on tape. Little people can win, when they prepare and organize. This site is good, that is where I got all of my witnesses and members for class cert from–a site like this! GOOD Luck Rhonda. In hiding for now–I wish you the BEST! Stay strong, there is light at the end. I know you must feel like the odd ball right now and the suit consumes your days but you will get your life back one day!!

    I know alot of you out there are not willing to come forward. I understand that. But if any of you have it in you please call Rhonda. Her trial is this week on Friday. She has no money for an attorney and she is going to court without one. She is going to do her best. Please call her. 225-268-8171. There is also another site with more information. It is the Yahoo Financial website. If you do not know how to get into it. E-mail me.
    Thanks. Gene

    You are correct. Everyone wants to not say anything incase Brooke let’s them off of the hook. They don’t realize they have already lost everything they own as soon as they sign on the dotted line. Now everyone is trying to figure out how to get out, including us. With all of these post on here you would think that someone, somewhere can help us. Rhonda and myself do not want to see people go thru what we have gone thru. I hope the word is finally getting out. We have a court date on Friday with them. Rather, Rhonda has a court date with them on Friday. If you have any information that can help her out PLEASE call her.

    Yes and thank you so much for doing that. There is only a handful of people really helping out the situation here. And my hand only have five fingers. I think there are more than 5 people with information. In my opinion there is alot riding on this court date. It will effect alot of people in the future. I hope she gets a chance to share all of her information that she has with the judge on Friday.

    I guess she just needs to do her homework about proper legal procedure. Hopefully the judge will coach her a little bit. Aren’t there any legal aid attorneys or law students that could help??

    I read all of the items she submitted to the judge. She did an excellent job. Those documents are Very Well written, but she is not an attorney. NO ONE WANTS TO HELP FOR FREE. I think she will do great. No one knows more about Brooke and the problems she is having than herself. She knows more about Brooke and there accounting practices than they do. She was going to fail from day one. There is no way anyone can ever succeed in owning a Brooke franchise. OH, in the beginning you think life is great, You THINK you own your own business, You THINK you are self employed, until you get your first monthly statement and try to get someone to explain to you why you need to borrow more money from them to keep the doors open.
