My experience was amazing with this team. They all helped with my direction and needed corrections to my dissertation. I cannot imagine how anyone was not happy with this group since they all proved to go above and beyond what was necessary. This included taking time in the evenings and even on weekends to discuss with me the changes and needs for my dissertation.

Real Professors is amazing
Real Professors is amazing. They explained to me that it is not enough to develop a good DBA topic but that I must be strategic working with my committee members. Billy mentored me make 100% certain my first 3 chapters were approved right away. I cannot believe how much attention Real Professors gives to their clients. Especially because I was with another company before who scammed me. I went to Billy and he was with me the whole way. I wish Billy was my dissertation chair. Anyone who has him as a chair is a lucky student.

I want to thank Real Professors for…
I want to thank Real Professors for helping me with my dissertation. I was lost with all the crazy processes until Paul explained everything. I am so thankful Stephanie took all my calls and calmed me down. when I was in panic mode.

I was happy to assist Jordan. You were one of the best clients with whom I've worked. You studied up on your dissertation's fundamentals and absorbed the direct mentoring with me efficiently and effectively. You are as much to credit for your success as are Prof. Stephanie and me.

BEST EXPERIENCE
BEST EXPERIENCE! I am incredibly grateful to Real Professors, especially Stephanie and Paul, for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my dissertation journey. Their expertise, patience, and attention to detail were invaluable in helping me bring my research to life. From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final edits, Paul and Stephanie offered insightful feedback, thoughtful suggestions, and consistent encouragement that kept me motivated every step of the way.
Their ability to break down complex ideas, refine my writing, and provide constructive feedback made a tremendous difference in the quality of my work. I could not have asked for a better mentor and collaborator during this process. Thank you, Real Professors, for helping me achieve this milestone and for believing in me when I needed it most! You cannot go wrong with Real Professors!

Dr. Stephanie saved me!!!!!!
I bought a package with another dissertation business and they refused to revise my work after six months because I paid with paypal. I needed help and Dr. Paul and Dr. Stephanie rewrote it because it wasn't any good. I passed through my next class. They did the rest of my dissertation and I passed. My head chair offered to write me recommendations because I was the most improved person they supervised. There were bumps and they held my hand!

Beyond Expectation
Stephanie Davis was an absolute lifesaver throughout this process. Her guidance, support, and expertise were incredibly helpful in getting my dissertation finished. I'm especially grateful for her being always on time, available, and flexible. She made the whole experience so much less stressful. I can't recommend her enough. Her dedication to her job is truly exceptional."

This former client has published her dissertation. The content in their published dissertation was largely unchanged, with the only significant modification being that the client had moved a few paragraphs around and deleted a couple of sentences. A quality document was prepared for Susan and she successfully defended the content she received. Susan continues to harass our business by filing chargeback claims and attempting to take the payment of her project to arbitration. However, these attempts have failed as her claims remain unfounded. Her claim that she had to "re-write everything" herself and "discard whatever" we delivered is defamation. Real Professors believes that services such as Trustpilot serve a vital role in e-commerce and that consumers giving truthful descriptions of their experiences is essential for markets to work. However, lies such as these harm small businesses. If a consumer makes claims that a service did not achieve its stated purpose when there is evidence that it did as a way to coerce the business into a refund, all the while using transaction reversals to recoup money and failing because their claims to the bank when filing chargebacks and demands for arbitration were false, then the only remedy is to rely on the legal system. Attempts have been made to deliver documents to Susan, but to no avail. We continue to work with our attorney to serve paperwork.
I have reviewed the 291 emails between yourself and our firm between the first time you reached out to us for assistance in September 2023 and April 2024. I focused on the emails from January 2024, when you contracted with us and made payment for services to April 2024, when you informed us that you intended to speak with a lawyer and subsequently ceased contact with us until filing the review below this review.
The two claims you make here are that we did not deliver an acceptable draft and that we did not refund any portion of your money. Concerning the claim of not receiving an acceptable draft, all that Dr. Boardman received for direction was the dissertation manual that included a few sentences in a paragraph that listed some suggested sections. We have been doing this for many years, so we know the general format for sections in a dissertation, they typically do not deviate much. However, your chair was expecting a specific approach and format to your Chapter 3 that deviated from what is typically in Chapter 3. We did not find out about this from you until after your chair had accepted Chapter 1 and only had a few incidental recommendations for Chapter 2. It was only then that you sent a sample of what they wanted.
When Chapter 1 was accepted and Chapter 2 only required a few small revisions and you sent over a sample for Chapter 3 that would require Dr. Boardman redo significant parts, he was happy to do this for you. You were told that we would need all of your data because, based on the sample given to us after writing up your project, Chapter 3 would need to include narrative of how the data was collected and analysis was completed, not just a description of the plans for data collection and analysis. Chapter 3 would also require a description of characteristics of the sample for your study. These cannot be “fudged”. We needed the data and needed to perform analysis before this could be added to your Chapter.
So, if your project had advanced to the point where the only significant change needed was based on something that we did not receive until after the write-up was completed and you made the decision to not work with us any longer, there are absolutely no grounds for a refund.
We have a lot of clients who make significant sacrifices to afford our services and we work painstakingly hard to satisfy their committees. We respect them and their sacrifices because we understand what this type of expense can mean and many of our clients are struggling and need a degree to advance or improve their pay.

Grateful for Excellent Service
I am so grateful that I found Real Professors. I was struggling to finish my dissertation and was nearly ready to just quit. I happened across their website and thought I will call and see how they can help me. They walked me through the process, proofed my work, gave me suggestions that made my work better and made my chair happy, and I finally finished. Thank you Real Professors; your entire team is the best.
