i how to buy prescription drugs without a prescription am a business and real estate lawyer seeking new ideas to attract clients
My biggest problem when I went to find an attorney was this: I could not find one that I really felt was on my side. I live in Utah and we have attorneys all over this place, but few good ones. One attorney we had been using was really good, however, he acted like a jerk and yelled at me when I went to see him. I went to another – no ambition. I finally found a brand new guy in town and he is GREAT. He is fresh out of law school and he is 100% on my side and talks to me like a human being. So, put up a sign and they’ll come. All you need is one client that is not pro-bono and he or she will spread the word and 1 will turn into 100 very soon.
lower your fees
myspace.com
post profile you can set it up to show that you are looking to network. You can communicate with people all over the world plus connect with people and soon you will have lots of friends. You can join groups on their site specifically geared to real estate and lawyer. Make sure the group you sign up for is active. Many people just list a group to belong to something but are not actually in a group. Check out this page http://www.myspace.com/paulsellsabq
Advertise in the real estate community as well as legal community pertaining to your field. Advertise on church bulletins, write an ebook on your knowledge, write a blog. I have tons more ideas you can email me but I think I’ve said enough. Just fyi there are plenty of bulletins, newsletters, etc in your community where you can advertise for cheap. Also check out hellometro.com – advertise for free. The key is networking!!!!
okay so i have some more to say before i go. Offer free consultations – of course you will get yo-yo’s but those yo-yo’s might know of someone else in a bigger predicament than them. Sign up with pre-paid legal. You can get pd a certain amount just for doing a consultation & if you take the case they pay you directly. I’m not sure what state you are in so that would help but in any event check your state bar bulletin, advertise in there. Advertise at your college law school. Get an intern to do research. People in school know all sorts of people that will get you rolling. People make mistakes about attorney fee’s especially hourly. If you are a great attorney then it’s not going to take you 3hours to draft a complaint much less interrogatories and RFP. Your case law research could be that time consuming but drafting (typing)unless you are the slowest typist in the world. Be honest and genuinely concerned, actually speak to your clients instead of passing it off to your paralegal. A good attorney makes the time for all annoying clients. Just be involved with your clients. If you are a great attorney and I’m mean great as a whole individual people will come back and they will refer you out. Plus you will be considered a great well-rounded attorney not a great attorney that’s an $#@@! Offer free seminars in real-estate. Another chance to network. Join clubs, organizations, church clubs, etc. Just network and the word gets out. Goodluck!!!!!
