When looking for a financial lawyer, red flags in a contract include fee padding, blanket liability releases , and forced arbitration clauses . These terms can strip away your rights or cost you unexpected money.

Making decisions on what a person looks like is not very logical. Now I would have seen the red flags once I met him and he started to steer me to certain investments since that is not his role. I would have reported him to his state bar. With that reasoning, you are likely to be taken advantage of since the person looks ok. Managing money requires one to be alert 24/7 and double checking things constantly.

he looked sketchy to you, and a random youtube comment said he looked snaky.

you wouldn't be the first poster to put too much stock in youtube comments ( https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/340530 ) but it doesn't seem like the red flags were so obvious at the very beginning.

Jason did have a red flag right off the bat. He looked sketchy. On YouTube there is an interview with him about three years before his arrest and a Poster commented, Jason looks like a snake. I wouldn't trust him with my lottery winnings. The Poster came back tthree years later and said Jason's just been arrested for embezzling over 107 millions. I knew three years ago that he looked like a snake and I wouldn't trust him with my lottery winnings. My gut feeling about him was 100 percent spot on.... [ More ]

As I have said before, one can be ripped off by anyone in any profession.

And research would have shown Jason had no red flags. That is why one should stick with larger old line firms that have more liability insurance if anyone goes rogue.

And if a winner is lazy and turns over sole control of your assets to anyone with you having no access, my sympathy is limited. If you make it easy for anyone to cheat you, you take some of the blame.

The lottery recommending an attorney does no... [ More ]

Be careful doing that. Jason Kurland, the Lottery Lawyer, embezzled over 107 million from his clients. It's better to get a CPA instead IMHO.

I would spend a little money interviewing four or five tax/estate lawyers for some diverse opinions, check what they say against what I can find out on my own.

I would do something similar with financial advisors, diving investment assets between, depending on the amount to be invested among five to ten fiduciary groups and narrowing by choosing the best performers with their assigned portfolios.

winning the lottery is probably the one instance where i would definitely not ask a friend for a recommendation. they might get suspicious about why.

I would go with one of the lawyers recommended by the lottery
