[Caveat Emptor]

June 2005- I went to work with JL Kirk and Associates-They had been operating as JL Kirk for about a year. One of the prospective clients that came to interview for the employment services said that he had been to this same building before to interview with Bernard Haldane.- 9005 Overlook Dr. Kirk Leipzig had worked with Bernard Haldane and was using the same manipulative techniques- Kirk Leipzig tells everyone that the initials JL stand for Jesus Lord

I posted several comments on rip-off report.com after working there for 3 days and resigning. Their law firm King and Ballow send me a letter demanding that I retract my statement. My attorney responded and said that his client stands by his statements.
That was the last I heard from the law firm or JL Kirk.

2 years later in April of 2007, Katherine Coble went on an interview at JL Kirk associates and saw though their scam. She started a blog about her experience and JL Kirk had their lawyers send her the same demand letter. The blogosphere went crazy and JL Kirk had to go into hiding to avoid the negative publicity.

A few months later they resurfaced at 5141 Maryland Way in Brentwood. According to the Better Business Bureau, the BBB complaint file shows a new company incorporating on June 7, 2007 under the name ESW LLC- on July 2, the company added an assumed name to the corporation and began doing business as Transition America. The bloggers picked up on it and exposed them as the former JL Kirk- On Feb 26, 2008, the company filed for another assumed name and began doing business as Transforming America. On Aug, 26, 2008 the company filed for another assumed name and began doing business as Nashville Career Partners. In October 28, the Better Business Bureau received documentation from a consumer indicating that the company was doing business as Nashville Professional Search

On Feb. 4- 2009 the BBB visited the location of 5141 Virginia Way- the company appeared to have ceased operations as the doors were locked and the office was empty.

Rich was involved with all of these organizations and his name is listed in the Better Business Bureau complaint under Nashville Professional Search.

On Rich Leipzig’s facebook account he shows as one of his employers- Career Focus Consultants –Career Coach- from Feb 2009-present

[Caveat Emptor]

Rich says on his facebook page that his favorite book is the Bible. How many people does he think that he is fooling? NOBODY's favorite book is the bible! Ask any Christian minister or parishioner what their favorite book is. If they say the bible, keep you hand on your wallet.

[Very incriminating]
