Need Advice
Im going to talk to bankrupcy http://www.attorneys.(sorry everyone I cant figure why there is a www in front of the a word)I dont have a clue how to start .Do do i make an appointment ? walk in? send a letter or fax?
If I call and set an appointment there going to want to know what im there for and possibly not want to meet
If i walk off the street they will assume im selling something
and possibly be to busy to talk to me
If I write they can ignore my letter
I sound dim but I must cover all my angles so i may have a plan b
anyone have a suggestion
Pete thank you all

A personal one on one would be best!
Keep in mind you are going fishing, so you will need to bait the hook.
I suggest send a letter or email, follow up with a telephone call in a few days and than ask for an appointment if necessary.
So what do you plan to tell them anyhow?
I would start with what i do then
ask them if they would refer there clients to me
and offer them an incentive
any suggestions

Keep in mind that offering a finders fee upfront in the legal system and the attorney accepting it may be considered a conflict of interest.
When I approach attorneys, I explain what I am able to do for people in financial distress. I show them actual transactions and the importance of confidentially.
I also explain that I will run across people I can not help and ask if I could refer them to his or her office for help.
I always get a yes on this one.
I than ask if he or she runs into anybody that may benefit from my help send him or her to me. I then provided them a little info packed of what I do with a few business cards.
If they ask for a finders fee I let them know I pay x amount of dollars when I close on the sale, but most never ask because of the "I pat your back, you pat my back routine".
