How to Nurture Your Connections and Get Referrals with Lou Shapiro [GWL 112]

If you’re wondering how to make the best use of your connections, then my guest today, Lou Shapiro, will certainly shed some light on how to go about doing that. Lou is a state and federal criminal law attorney, and he is a master at making friends online and offline and nurturing those relationships into referrals and opportunities.  

What You’ll Learn:

• What experience is needed in order to eventually open your own practice as a criminal defense attorney
• Why he considers his firm to be a “concierge law firm”
• Where he gets his best referrals from other lawyers
• What exactly he posts on Facebook to invite conversations and generate attention
• How his involvement in his volunteer work at his temple led to a spot as a legal consultant on a tv legal comedy
• How he managed to secure Amanda Knox as a speaker for his local bar association
• The right way to stay in contact with people that you meet
• Why he’s waiting for the case that “defines” him
• Why you don’t need to experience every area of law in order to find out what you truly love
