Re: Update -- Ohio Attorney -- Solo for 4 months

More | Report Post

I am one of the few attorneys here that still practice bankruptcy
law. On top of BK, I also do some criminal work and domestic
work. I accept credit cards (except for BK) so I am able to
offer more flexible payment arrangements without as much risk of non-
payment.

I may not make another dime this month, but I wanted to point out
that making $6,000 a month is not impossible as BS stated.
Frankly, my first month I made $500.00 all month.

My advertising now is limited to a "one-incher" classified ad in
small community newspapers. I also advertise on craigslist.

Craigslist is fee. I use this website for placing ads in the
community newspapers: http://www.usnewspapers.com/

Good luck
