As asset protection attorneys, we have been encouraged to see that more people are waking up to the need to preserve their wealth judiciously and legally. Unfortunately, this growing demand for asset protection has meant that people are now at risk from unscrupulous and unethical fly-by-night asset protection advisors and lawyers. There are all kinds of scams currently being perpetrated, most of these on the Internet. So, how do you differentiate between a scam and the real deal?

One of the first things that should alert you to the fact that the person you are speaking with knows nothing about this field, is any mention of saving taxes and protecting assets in the same sentence. We never tire of repeating this. Asset protection is not to be considered as a means of saving taxes. In fact, if your advisor promises to save you taxes on your plan, that should be a cue to find yourself another expert, preferably a lawyer with experience in this field.

Another sure sign that you need to run as fast as possible from your asset protection advisor, is a one-size-fits-all plan. Each individual’s wealth preservation needs are different. A one-size-fits-all plan therefore simply will not take all your wealth preservation objectives into consideration. You advisor must be able to work with you to decide on a domestic plan, or an offshore trust that works for your financial goals.

Unfortunately, the market is now filled with so-called asset protection consultants. These people have no training in this field, and no experience in the nuances of wealth preservation to speak of. Even worse is the fact that people often get trapped by these false promises, with devastating financial and tax consequences for them.

I’ve known Doug in many contexts, as a friend, as a client and as a business partner and he impresses me on all levels. He’s dependable, smart, generous and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him and his law firm to anyone.
He’s the best and most ethical lawyers providing asset protection with rock solid strategies to give you peace of mind about your wealth. Straight forward, and straight talk. Doug is exactly the lawyer I want on my side. If I send someone to Doug, I know they’ll thank me for it!

Doug is one of the most powerful thinker i have came across. During the short time that i have known Doug he has been a great source of inspiration. He has a simplistic yet effective and accurate way to analyze anything you bring to his attention, and then by asking you key questions he gets you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Besides being extremely bright, he is a genuine and caring individual which is why I feel fortunate to know him. I can say without a doubt that he his the person you would want to talk to if you were in need of a person with his expertise.
Most of the lawyers out there will probably meet your needs, but if you are looking for someone to exceed your expectations and give you that wow factor, look no more he is the person for the job.

I have been a client of Douglas Lodmell’s since 2001. My main concern was asset protection in this litigious society. I can sleep alot better at night knowing I have the instruments in place to protect the fruits of my labor, and that they will not end up in the hands of a slick trial attorney.
