Global Timeshare Attorneys Review

Global Timeshare Attorneys is a corporation based in Costa Mesa, California that has been helping clients exit their timeshares since 2019. They claim to be affordable attorneys that are at your service to release you from unwanted contracts and legal issues with your timeshare. Though they happen to be fronted by a legal team, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee they’ll be better than the other timeshare exit solutions on the market. Do their credentials actually set them above the rest? 

Global Timeshare Attorneys Website Review

Our immediate first impression of their website isn’t very promising. Their landing page layout is incredibly outdated and looks more like a website that was created two decades ago rather than two years. Their logo is fine, but the rest of the font on the first page doesn’t match and there are large text-boxes with bolded print to boast their success rate and money-back guarantees. 

These text boxes are extremely outdated and they are placed over a tacky stock photo of a corporate building to, we assume, assure the customer that they mean business. Below this is a large embedded video of what Global Timeshare Attorneys do and how they can help you, done in the style of those ‘draw my life’ videos from back in the day. They depict cartoonish characters being drawn by a hand with a sharpie as they go through the motions of getting their timeshare canceled. 

This landing page is already not setting us up for success, and it is only further ruined by a crowded section at the bottom that details their location, contact info, and alleged credentials. Upon navigating to their contact section, you’ll find a standard contact form along with those repeated promises that they have a 100% success rate, Money-back guarantees, and that they’ve helped 2,500 clients end contracts in the last year. 

If you’re hoping for more detailed information on their ‘our services’ page, you’ll be out of luck there as well. They once again reiterate that they have a 100% money-back guarantee, but that is nowhere near as comforting as an escrow payment option. We like to recommend companies that offer escrow payments as they provide clients with the security of knowing their contract will be dissolved before the company is paid in full. Learn more about the benefits of escrow payments here. 

Scrolling further, you’ll find a lot of filler detailing how difficult timeshare contracts can be to dissolve but their services can help relieve you of that burden. This isn’t comforting at all and actually can draw clients away if they feel like they’re only being sold more of a scam. Clients looking to get out of their timeshares are seeking out a helpful company that makes them feel safe, and tons of filler and promises isn’t going to make your credibility any better. 

‘How It Works’ offers very little as well with some vague step by steps of how the process will go, as well as infographics detailing timeshare costs. This whole page is a mess and offers nothing at all in the way of helpful information to release you from your timeshare. In our opinion, this entire page could have been removed from the website to reduce clutter, or filled with more detailed information about their services. 

Approaching their ‘Legal Team’ section doesn’t offer more than a single lawyer by the name of Marilyn Thomassen, which we can find through their BBB is the firm that owns the business. They offer details about Thomassen’s 25-year career as an attorney and her experience in multiple facets of law, but paired with the barren legal team page it falls short of impressive. 

They offer one more page in hopes of selling clients on their credibility, as they provide a section of resources. These are nothing more than links to news articles about timeshare scams and timeshare costs. All in all the entirety of the website is underwhelming and does very little to assure potential clients that their case will be handled efficiently in the hands of Global Timeshare Attorneys. 

Global Timeshare Attorneys Reviews

Their Better Business Bureau profile is scarce when it comes to reviews, only offering two to speak of. Those two happen to be 5-star reviews and have led to 5 out of 5 ratings on their BBB profile. This isn’t promising, however, as they also have two filed complaints on their profile as well. 

The first complaint details a guarantee/warranty issue that challenges this promised 100% money-back guarantee that Global Timeshare Attorneys felt the need to boast on every page of their website. This customer alleges that they went months after the initial consultation without contact and that they were met with no answers when they attempted contacting the company. They were bombarded with collection calls about their timeshare during this time and being unable to get through to Global Timeshare Attorneys, they were forced to speak with collections themselves.

They claim that the agency alleges they’d never been contacted by an attorney or anyone else attempting to resolve their contract. They also claim that when they tried to make good on the 100% money-back guarantee they were denied with a statement that if they were given their money back, everyone else would want their money back too. Global Timeshare Attorneys responded that they have been in contact with the resort and can’t give the refund because the client refused the settlement that they’d reached. 

The client then alleges in return that they received no offer or information from the company and that any claims made otherwise are deceitful. The second complaint is very similar and seems to fully challenge this money-back guarantee. This is why we highly recommend companies with escrow payment options, so innocent clients aren’t scammed out of more of their money. 

Much of the same can be found from their Google Reviews as well, with a 3.3 rating that is entirely due to a 1-star review alleging the company took their money and did nothing to contact them for resolution of their timeshare contract. The other two reviews seem to be a mistaken review for a pizza joint and a positive 5-star review for the actual company. 

Global Timeshare Attorneys Review

While we are given no concrete idea of what their costs and fees look like, disgruntled reviews seem to suggest that the charge is upward of a grand. This is highly concerning, especially if you factor in the reviews that state money was taken and no resolution was met. Escrow payments are invaluable for this reason as they offer security to the client that their money will be returned to them should the company not deliver on its promises. 

Clients shouldn’t be bled of their money from their timeshare and from the company that you’ve entrusted to release you from your contract. Before you make any initial contact you need to do your research to ensure that none of your money is being given over to companies that won’t do the job they are promising. You shouldn’t be scammed while trying to get out of a scam.

Summary

There is very little to redeem Global Timeshare Attorneys as a credible resource for a timeshare cancellation. They offer little to no substance on an outdated website, so you aren’t even made entirely sure of what their company can do for you before you’re given a contact form. There are no guarantees that your consultation is free or that you’ll be given any resolution before the aren’tmoney is exchanged. This is a huge red flag. 

The term ‘attorneys’ also feels misleading when you are led to a legal team page with only one attorney present on it. Thomassen’s firm is of course related to this company, but there isn’t much information given unless you dig for it to find out who else you might be working with. This feels misleading and doesn’t offer much in the way of credibility. 

There is no information provided on costs or fees, so you are expected to contact them and set up your contract with no idea how much it’ll cost you until consultation. This is also a huge red flag. Money should never exchange hands without the client being sure their needs will be fulfilled. There may be a couple of good reviews but having only been in practice for two years and to have 2 complaints and a bad Google review with very few positive reviews, does not make this company look good. 

All three bad reviews commented on the alleged 100% money-back guarantee, stating that it isn’t a guarantee at all and their money is still being held by the company with no resolution. From what we can see Global Timeshare Attorneys is a company that hides behind the promise of professional legal aid, without delivering anything of substance. You’d be much better off with a company that offers upfront and honest solutions, information, and credible resources. 

You should also be sure that whatever company you get to handle your contract, your money is secure and will not be released before a solution has been met. 

Mexican Timeshare Solutions Review

Mexican Timeshare Solutions is a timeshare exit company located in Hayward California and has been in business since 2012. They started their business in 2009 but they claim to have over 25 years of experience in this industry among their fifteen professionals on staff. They cater specifically to those who have been scammed by timeshares to help release them from contracts they feel stuck in. 

But do these claims of experience hold up against what they can actually offer you? 

Mexican Timeshare Solutions Website Review

Their landing page seems to be solid and straightforward. It certainly isn’t anything that will immediately catch the viewer’s attention, but it also doesn’t distract potential clients with flashing scripts, tacky photos, or gimmicky slogans. The running theme we’ve found for most timeshare exit websites is the mixture of cool blue tones and white, to help ease the potential client before they’ve even contacted the service. 

There is a small pop-up box in the right-hand corner that can be a bit annoying as it also will flash a message in your tab when you navigate to others. This is a small notification from customer support, stating that you can reply to that message at any time and they’ll help you out. This is a helpful feature, but the flashing message remaining or popping back up even after you’ve minimized it can be frustrating. 

They are upfront in their marketing as soon as you enter the landing page, claiming they will cancel your timeshare with no upfront fees while also offering a free consultation. They also claim to have a 100% cancellation rate and that they have canceled nearly 14000 contracts. These are nice guarantees, as their promises do include that you’ll not have to pay anything if you don’t get results which sound very similar to an escrow payment option. We like working with companies that offer escrow, as it is the only sure-fire way to ensure your timeshare is canceled before a cent of your money is released to the company. Learn more about escrow payments and why they benefit you here. 

If you wander over to their ‘About Us’ section, you’ll find some description about how they’ll help you cancel your contract but don’t provide many concrete details. Something promising though is that they provide LinkedIn profiles for some of their consultants and the company itself, giving them a small boost in credibility. They do use the phrase contingency basis when talking about their work, which can be promising as long as you can be assured you don’t have to put any money down unless things are resolved. 

It is a bit odd that you can’t find their owner’s name on the website, but if you look at their BBB profile, you’ll find that the president of the company is Mr. Joe Gonzales. Though even a quick google search won’t bring up much in the way of finding out who he is and what his credentials are. They also claim to have 10 employees and that they are located in Hayward, California, but most of the LinkedIn profiles of their employees are based out of Mexico. 

They do offer a pretty detailed blog section with many interesting titles such as Timeshare Lawyers, Timeshare Resorts are Abusing Their Clients During COVID-19, and Different Names Used In the Timeshare Industry. There are 18 pages full of informative blogs that can answer a multitude of questions you might have prior to contact, so it may turn out to be an invaluable resource to a potential client. 

One of their standout features is their ‘Resort Blacklist’ section, which offers a forum for timeshare owners to discuss their experiences with different resorts and their complaints. They have listed thirty-one resorts with complaint numbers from only 7 to 520. This can be incredibly helpful to those who have timeshares with one of these resorts and are looking for validation or other information to help them get out of contracts. 

They also offer a thorough FAQ section and an eight-page testimonial section that includes a video of satisfied customers. They have 75 testimonials available on their website for you to peruse to help boost their credibility. 

All in all, it seems that their website though it may be lacking in finer details about the staff and owner, offers a variety of information that can be valuable to those seeking a timeshare exit. It is clean and well organized, ensuring that clients don’t have to hunt for the information they may be looking for. 

Mexican Timeshare Solutions Reviews

While their website hosts 75 glowing reviews from happy customers, as well as a detailed video of testimonials, one of the best places to look for honest reviews is their BBB page. They have an overall score of 4.67 out of 5, though they have maintained an A+ rating. Their reviews may be a bit scarce on the BBB website, with only twelve but they do offer at least one review that isn’t perfect. 

While you wouldn’t base your experience off of a single bad review, it is important to see what others may have gone through when using the company. A quick Google search will also offer up some pretty concerning information that this timeshare exit company is actually a scam. While we cannot confirm or deny these allegations, it is worth some more research before you decide to get yourself involved with this company. 

Their reviews on their website are organized by which resort their clients were canceling from, which can actually be a helpful resource for others who might be in the same boat. These reviews claim that MTS was timely, thorough, and efficient in getting their contracts canceled with little no hassling and plenty of integrity. We of course aren’t entirely sure of the validity of these claims, but with 75 reviews on their website and 11 on the BBB that are all positive it does bode well for MTS. 

Their bad review does detail that their business address leads to the location of a salon and massage parlor rather than an official office building. This does seem incredibly fishy and if you google the address, you will indeed come up with Amber Beauty Plus rather than the company you’re looking for. 

Always be careful when you’re going to reach out to one of these companies and never give off important information unless you’re sure the company is credible. More information about how to spot timeshare scams here. 

Mexican Timeshare Solutions Cost

There is no upfront information about costs or fees, which doesn’t actually comfort us much. They make many claims on their website that you won’t have to pay a single thing unless they can successfully release you from your contract, but they don’t tell you what you’ll have to pay if they do. There is also the claim that all of their work is contingency-based, so you don’t have to pay if no work has been done on your case. 

While this may seem like a good thing, we really only want to consider companies that offer escrow payment options. Your fees shouldn’t be hidden behind walls until you get out of your contract and then are suddenly slapped with a huge bill. You should know everything upfront and even if you don’t pay right away you should know what your bill is going to come out to. 

Summary

While the website for Mexican Timeshare Solutions does seem thorough and helpful with plenty of reviews, blogs, and complaints filed against certain resorts, there does seem to still be something fishy about this company. Googling them doesn’t bring you an official office address and their BBB profile gives an address of a hair salon that is sandwiched between tax offices. This isn’t comforting for the potential client who is accessing their company from another state and cannot go to the office itself to poke around. 

Though their reviews seem to be glowing, that same Google search will also come up with several articles about potential scams related to Mexican Timeshare Solutions. While you do have to take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt, it is probably not wise to put all of your eggs in MTS’s basket without being completely sure of their credentials. The BBB is typically a good resource for vetting companies such as this one, you do need to be wary. 

If you are going to get anything from this website, it is to use their resources to your advantage. Even if you don’t decide to go with their services to help you get out of your timeshare, their blog section and resort blacklist can be mined for information that can ultimately help you. 

All in all, we would say that MTS is probably a company you’ll want to skip when it comes to timeshare exit solutions. They offer a good amount of advice and helpful information, but their credentials are sketchy enough to keep potential clients at bay and give reviewers like us red flags. 

Linx Legal Review

Linx Legal is a timeshare exit company located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Myrtle Beach South Carolina, and Scottsdale Arizona. They also work remotely and have been in business for eleven years. Their slogan is that “Only the Best is Good Enough”, making hefty claims that they will not stop until they can release you from your unwanted timeshare without the hassle that other companies may put you through. But is Linx Legal the best or are they just good enough? 

Linx Legal Website Review

We were immediately impressed by the appearance of the website. The landing page is incredibly professional and in neat colors that won’t distract the eye too much or make the client feel overwhelmed. They make the immediate claim that they are the industry’s premier timeshare debt cancellation company, which is your immediate first impression.

The more you scroll, you’ll find a small quiz you can take. This part of the landing page does feel a little out of place, but it is at least neatly incorporated into the overall appearance of the website. It seems to be a playful way to initiate contact with them but the contact information below it is in font that doesn’t quite match the rest of the website. It isn’t enough to detract from the rest of the landing page, but it doesn’t quite fit everything else. 

They have some sections positioned underneath boasting their A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau’s website, as well as their 100% money-back guarantee should you not be released from your contract. Although a money-back guarantee sounds nice, we prefer to work with companies that offer an escrow payment option instead. When you pay with escrow, the exit company does not get paid in full until after the timeshare issue has been resolved. Learn more about escrow and why it’s important here.

You can also book a consultation or review career opportunities and view testimonials through these links. They also ensure that you will not be foreclosed upon and that they will do whatever they can to take care of you to get the refund you deserve. This is good news because exit companies that simply tell you to stop paying your maintenance fees and let the timeshare go into foreclosure don’t actually do anything at all. You could have stopped payment on your timeshare all on your own.

Something we don’t often see on many of these sites either is a section specifically dedicated to those who help run and manage the business. There is a detailed description of the Vice President of Linx Legal and what his experience in the industry is so you can get an idea of who you’ll be working with. This information is done in further detail if you click on their ‘Who We Are’ tab. 

This is a truly unique addition as many of the typical websites we see for timeshare legal aid or exit companies don’t give you a rundown of who you’ll be working with. We get to see a full roster of sixteen individuals who handle everything from marketing to case managing and are given an idea of who they are and what their experience is. This helps potential clients get a feel for the people they’ll be working with and adds credibility, so you don’t feel like you’re simply working with a corporation but more individual people.

Although it’s nice that this company display’s its employees on its website, we find it suspicious that the company owner is not shown. Upon further research, we found that the company CEO is Rosario Craig Musumeci. A quick Google search for this individual shows that he previously worked as a VP of Sales at Wyndham. This is probably why Mr. Musumeci doesn’t want to appear on his website. It’s not a good look to sell people timeshares and then charge them thousands of dollars to get out of those timeshares later.

The company also includes a video below their roster that showcases who they are and what they do. It is an animated video that is supposed to give you a basic rundown on what Linx Legal is and how they are going to help you get what you need. It can come across a little cheesy but it does get the point across and is relatively informative. 

What we also like about their website is their fully-packed ‘What We Do’ section, which on a lot of websites seems to be just filler text. Linx Legal has jam-packed this section with plenty of helpful links to further explain subjects like Timeshare 101, The Five Biggest Lies in Timeshare, Statistics, Scams, and further information on lawyers and cancelling your fees or contract completely. This way potential clients can go and poke around those pages with their questions before they ever have to contact Linx Legal. 

They even give you access to a step by step process of cancelling your timeshare with multiple vacation rental companies. They don’t seem to want to keep any information from potential clients and are dedicated to answering questions and guiding you through the process before you decide to contact them. They have a separate page to let you know where they work and that they service remotely throughout the United States, but also have three brick and mortar offices so you can come in if you are close by. 

They assure clients they won’t lie or scam you and that they aren’t a law firm, but they do have attorneys on retainer should they be needed in a legal capacity. It is a bit deceiving that they’d call themselves “Linx Legal” when they’re not actually attorneys though. This will likely get them in trouble with the law down the road.

You can also look up a good portion of their employees so you can be sure of who you are working with and know that their credentials are legitimate. 

Overall this seems like a solid website for a solid company, but we don’t like how the company owner hides himself on the website and how the company calls themselves “Linx Legal” when they aren’t actually attorneys.

Linx Legal Reviews

The company itself has a 4.9 out of 5 rating on their Better Business Bureau profile and they have 59 total reviews, so there are a solid number of individuals who have given Linx Legal 5 stars. Out of their 59 reviews, only three of them are below 5 stars. 

One concern is that they have had two complaints filed against them in the last three years, though you can only view one of them on the BBB website. We also see several reviews mention that Linx Legal called them out of the blue (cold called) without them asking to be called. We typically do not like to recommend companies that call you out of the blue. 

The complaint comes from an unnamed individual who claims that one of the company’s representatives has been spam calling him to try and get him to use their services even though he’s already allegedly refused. He claims he was called ignorant by one of the managers who called back when he asked to be removed from their calling list. One of the representatives of the company responded to this claim with profuse apologies and assured the individual that this employee had allegedly been terminated. 

The other complaints have not been published in detail on the BBB website so we do not know what they entailed. All that’s known is that the complaints have been dealt with. As for their positive reviews they have a plethora on the BBB website that you can peruse, as even their 4,3, and even 2 star reviews still appear to be professional and positive. 

All in all it seems Linx Legal handles all of their cases with grace, dignity, and professionalism. 

Linx Legal Cost

You can book an initial consultation with them, but it doesn’t mention if this consultation costs or not. The only mildly disappointing thing about Linx Legal’s website is that there are few mentions of payment, which leaves the customer guessing until they can contact one of the company’s representatives. Giving the potential client a run down of what they can expect as far as payment plans and costs go. 

We do like to recommend that clients go for a company that offers escrow payments as they are the most secure way to ensure your transaction reaches completion without any money being released beforehand. This is the best way to keep your company working for you without charging along the way and making things more expensive. Learn more about escrow and why it’s important here.

Summary

If you’re looking for a reliable timeshare exit company with staff you can trust, Linx Legal may certainly be what you’ve been searching for. They have upfront and honest information available on their landing page and give every potential client access to a majority of if not all of who they have on staff. This is a real game-changer as it gives Linx more credibility in comparison to companies that make it hard to track down their employees. 

You are also given access to a plethora of information on how to be released from contracts held by different resorts and how to avoid being scammed by your timeshare or your exit company. They offer trustworthy and helpful advice to those who are struggling to end contracts and find someone who is willing to advocate for them.

While it is a little concerning that they’ve had three complaints filed against them to the BBB, they have made efforts to resolve at least one of these issues and are consistently getting positive reviews for their hard work. We also don’t like the use of “Legal” in their brand name or that they don’t seem to offer an escrow payment option.  Other than that, Linx Legal seems to have what we’re looking for in a timeshare exit company as they are upfront, credible, and offer plenty of information so you don’t go into this process blindly. 

Overall they seem to be a solid company with good values that is simply trying to help timeshare owners reach some form of relief with their contracts. Don’t hesitate to look up their staff on LinkedIn if you’re wanting to see more detailed information about their credentials.
