Comments: I stayed at a Hotel that used your pillows and loved them. Can the consumer buy them? It was a polyester “New Generation” pillow. Thanks Vera

There doesn’t seem to be any benefit to the spam message. I’ll have to do some further digging I think.

So I haven’t really made a concerted effort to plan or check regularly on my own brand or even develop it. I started this blog as a lark and just tend to put up random stuff that I find interesting (and I certainly neglect it regularly when times get busy). Funnily enough, I try to keep a low profile online but it has become evident that there is a greater need to be a little more proactive about it. I have a lot of online accounts both professional and fun that all points back to me, good and bad. These range from LinkedIn profiles and Facebook accounts to other blogs and web shows like Best Damn Tech Show, Period and E-Verse Radio, both of which can be hit or miss at times but provide an outlet for some form of creativity and also experiments for translating to client services. I always tell everyone that if you’re going to be selling a service, you’d better have some experience doing so.

So by accident I’ve kind of separated my professional profile (the very sensible Paul Fleming) with my more creative personalities (that’s right, there’s more than one) which for all intents and purposes is Flemo or Flemo.org. So now all I have to do is come up with a plan. If you have a plan, let me know. Have you thought about your personal brand? Maybe you should…I have a feeling it’s going to be big business in the future.

The Vermont Lemon Law applies to new cars, vans or trucks (under 12,000 lbs) sold, leased or registered in Vermont, that suffer a nonconformity — a defect or condition that cannot be repaired after three attempts by an authorized manufacturer’s dealership. This defect must substantially impair the vehicle’s use, value or safety, and must first occur within the warranty period. The Vermont Lemon Law also applies to vehicles that are in the shop for repair 30 or more calendar days during the first year. The law also contains a fee-shifting provision, which means that if the consumer prevails, the manufacturer is responsible for all of the plaintiff’s attorney fees and legal costs, in addition to the award. If the consumer uses the firm’s services and doesn’t prevail for whatever reason, there is still no charge.

“Consumers are often not aware that State and Federal Laws provide provisions which enable us to represent consumers for free,” says Craig Thor Kimmel, Managing Partner of the Firm. “Many drivers invest significant monies into automobiles and then feel like they have nowhere to turn when they suffer significant and continuous repair problems. Our firm provides lemon law assistance at no additional cost, handling almost all correspondence through telephone, internet, and postal mail. Best of all, we require minimal participation from the client.”

With six-full-service offices throughout the Northeast, Kimmel & Silverman has been helping consumers fight for their rights under the State Lemon Laws and the Federal Warranty Statutes since 1991. The firm has grown to include 19 attorneys, three ASE-certified mechanics and a support staff of over 50 professionals; and is the only lemon law firm ever honored by the American Bar Association. Kimmel & Silverman currently handles one in four lemon law claims filed in the nation, recovering more than $135 million for consumers, making it the largest practice of its sort in the nation. In addition, the firm lobbies extensively for additional consumer protection and has been involved in the passing of several House Bills. Currently, the firm is making headlines for its role in developing the first-ever Computer Lemon Law.
