New personal finance portal for those in debt

Cathy — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:38:05 +0000

All the personal financial advice that we deliver client by client will soon be found online at Money Health Central, a venture of six veteran bankruptcy lawyers. We’re going to be talking about dealing with debt, living below your means, and for those newly freed from debt, about staying out of debt’s clutches.

My friend Gene Melchionne got us off to a stunning start with his post why your credit score doesn’t matter. If you are a bankruptcy lawyer, how many times have you had to make that point?

Point your clients here for sound advice burnished by years of advising consumers. If you have something you’d like to add, send us a guest post.

Counter to my usual image, I started writing about food and clothes

Cornucopia of ideas for marketing, management, law office tech

While I’ve been working on improving the legal skills of new bankruptcy lawyers, my friend Jay Fleischman has taken another route. Not that he’s working on illegal skills: he’s training lawyers in all kinds of practices on getting clients, providing superior service, and finding the best ways to harness the internet and technology to do so profitably.

Jay’s Legal Practice Pro website has spawned a membership service with online seminars and instructional material on all the things Jay is expert at. The Community is open at a discount til July 30. It’s a monthly subscription, $77/month if you sign up before month’s end. Money back guarantee, terminate at any time. Can’t imagine that you’d want to, but that’s my opinion.

If you want a more robust skill set in the business side of the practice of law, mosey on over and sign up.

Bankruptcy Practice Skills Class on Creditor Claims

Cathy — Tue, 11 May 2010 13:48:46 +0000

Save June 17 for a two hour presentation on Creditor Claims and Contested Matters. Truly the product of popular demand (and incessant questions) this class will look at reviewing proofs of claim; claims objections, and the rules governing contested matters. As always, we will focus on basics with an eye to what you can’t learn in books.

More information to follow but plan on being there June 17 5-7 p.m. at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.
