Things you should know about The Firm (Tim De Vallee):
1) Fact: He has never tried to resolve this issue, which is why I had to run to the BBB and Rip off report. (The Better Business Bureau has The Firm at an "F" rating)
2) I found other people online who have complaints about Tim's fraudulent business actions. One such contact was from a guy who worked for Tim in the past. He warned me that Tim is a very dangerous person and has stolen from hundreds of people.
3) Another contact I made was from a freelance web designer who was in the process of suing Tim for false claims from his company. Tim had been posting ads saying he created websites that he infact did not create.

4) Tim took my $900 and did not develop anything, though because I posted rip off report and reported him to the BBB, he personally created an attack against me online. View this blog which he posted in my name: http://noel-bass.blogspot.com/2012/06/noel-bass-is-scammer-and-con-artist.html (This action is illegal and as a business, completely out of line.)
5) Tim also posted bogus reviews on my Yelp page and other forums to try and bring me down.
6) To this day, Tim has the opportunity to resolve the matter with me but he chooses not to. Don't believe his lies.

We have tried to resolve the issues and offered a refund for the work we did over the 3 weeks of working for Mr Noel Bass (a young photographer) .
He not only refused to settle this matter in a professional manner but has now decided to damage my reputation and the companies I have worked very hard to set up over the years, not to scam people as he has wrongfully claimed, but simply because I run multiple businesses like a lot of US entrepreneurs in the country and the rest of the world. It is very unfortunate that Mr Bass feels this way, but we do understand that it is impossible to please everyone, such risk comes with any company that provides a service. Some clients are more difficult than others and in this case quite volatile with handling professional matters.
It is a shame that Mr Bass has chosen to make such false and defamatory claims on a resourceful website such as this one. Unfortunately, anyone can try to destroy anyone's hard work and reputation over a simple post without any proof behind the claims.
We know where we stand professionally and are confident in our services, we have many happy clients throughout the years who can attest to this. I wish Mr Noel Bass the best of luck in his future endeavors and business dealings with other service providers.
Regards, Tim de Vallee
