Client Conversation Guide: How to position asset protection in client meetings
Refer them out (and hope they come back)

Douglas Lodmell is one of the nation's leading asset protection attorneys with over 30 years of experience protecting high-net-worth individuals and business owners.
After earning his JD from Cardozo and his LL.M. in Taxation from NYU Law, Doug clerked for Judge Jack Weinstein in the Eastern District of New York, where he witnessed firsthand how unpredictable court rulings can be.
That experience shaped his entire practice philosophy: Design asset protection so that even if the judge rules against you, they still can't reach the assets.
Doug invented the Bridge Trust®—an offshore trust structure that operates domestically for IRS compliance but converts to full foreign protection during an "event of duress" (like a lawsuit).
He's the founder of the Asset Protection Council (APC), a membership organization that helps attorneys and CPAs add asset protection services to their practices through co-counseling and fee-sharing partnerships.
His clients include business owners, real estate investors, medical professionals, and executives—exactly the clients already in your book.
30+ Years in Practice | Creator of the Bridge Trust® | Founder of Asset Protection Council
"I had three clients ask me about asset protection last year. I didn't know what to tell them, so I referred them out. Two of those clients never came back for their tax work. That cost me about $40K. I wish I had known about the APC partnership model sooner."
— David K., CPA, Arizona
"The co-counseling model is brilliant. I keep the client relationship, Doug's team handles the technical work, and we split the fees. My clients get world-class asset protection without me having to become an expert."
— Sarah M., Estate Planning Attorney, California
"I thought asset protection was only for ultra-wealthy or sketchy operators. Doug showed me it's a legitimate need for any business owner with $1M+ in net worth. Now it's a core part of my practice."
— Mark T., Business Attorney, Texas
