Premier Title and Escrow

Hello All, I am writing to caution Notaries about Premier title and Escrow which is located in Providence Rhode Island and owned by Attorney Janine Atamian. I am sure they pay their regular notaries because they need them, but please be cautious if you are remote from them. This is what happend to me.

Last year I performed a perfect signing for them and when I did not receive payment after 60 days I called and spoke with Raquel who said they needed my W-9, which I sent.

Six weeks later I had not received payment so I called again, spoke with Renee who informed me that owner Janine Atamian had instructed them not to pay me because scans were not sent as instructed. I retain all my order confirmations and scans were not requested. I attempted to convey this fact but the discussion went nowhere.

On my next call I spoke with Beth who told me " this is Janine’s business and she can run it whatever way she wants." On every call I asked to speak with the owner and was denied. But after this call Janine Atamain called me back and told me to stop "threatening her staff " and she would "report me to the Secretary of State "

At this point I wrote her a letter and of course she never responded. The funniest part is that they have called me several times since and asked me if I was available for a signing. So please beware, especially if you are remote or not a regular notary for them.

Yes, this is the second time I have posted this. Their name needs to be in the topic box so it can be searched. I did not do that last time. Estelle

Janine Atamian is an attorney and this company has a long history of not paying. I would report her to the Rhode Island Bar Assn

Thank you very much, Estelle, for sharing :heavy_heart_exclamation:

I’ve found that Attorneys are difficult to collect from. I have one attorney that pays me with money orders.

Thank you all for your comments about Premier Title and Escrow in Providence Rhode Island. I performed over 600 signings in 2020 and Janine Atamain was my only non-payer. Please watch out for them if you are remote. I am in New Hampshire and not one of their regular notaries.
