How to Find a Great Attorney Every Time
We had a number of calls to the showing inquiring about how to create an estate plan, find the right attorney, etc. (This was really a show about annuities and estates!)
Finding a great attorney isn’t tough. Simply call your local bar association and ask for the person who heads up the committee. For example, if you’re interested in finding a great estate attorney, ask for the head of the “estate committee.” If you want a litigator, ask for the head of the “litigation committee.” If you want a real estate attorney …. well, you get the idea.
The people who head up these committees are usually very engaged in the most current information because they’re in charge of setting up events for other lawyers who specialize in that area. So, the head of the real estate committee would arrange for speakers each month on real estate law and other changes that would be of importance to real estate attorneys. They also tend to be very well connected (Bar Associations can be quite political!) and know a lot of other attorneys who specialize in that area of practice.
They’re also used to referring clients to other attorneys. For all these reasons, the head of the committee can help you find the attorney who has the expertise to help you – or who will fit into your budget.

Leave it at last years Renaissance Waverly at Cobb Galleria. Parking was ok, hall was adequate
Joe – thanks for your comment. appreciate it. we’ll be in a different room this year, rather than the ballroom, which is booked. But the chairs all have desks attached to them and it’s a “wired” room so if you’ve got your laptop, you’ll be all set. And, we can show video easily there.
Glad you weighed in. Don’t forget to buy your tickets.
Prefer Alpharetta
Alpharetta please!
We’re evenly divided. I heard from the same number of folks who want Alpharetta as the Renaissance Waverly at Cobb Galleria. So, the obvious solution is to hold two events – just kidding. I think we’ll go back to the Renaissance Waverly based on looking at who attended our past 3 events. More people came from up 75 and inside the perimeter than from Alpharetta (although we had a fair number of folks from there. I’m hoping the Alpharetta folks will still join us. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write or tweet. I appreciate all of your loyal support and I’m looking forward to an excellent event on October 2.
