Description: This is a fabulous opportunity to make a lot of cash.It can be done in your spare time.It just is not a full time job. I am a lawyer with Economic Recovery Group. Part of my job is recruiting local representatives for Economic Recovery Group. We have regional representatives along the whole coast to whom the local reps report.This is really more of a tool than a job. We are looking for people to find leads for our regional representatives to process and feed to our staff attorneys to process claims.
Requirements: Brief Outline of Local Representative Position:Economic Recovery Group, LLC is a Florida law firm devoted to spreading the word to potential claimants about the new BP Horizon Settlement Program. We are looking for businesses, nonprofits and independent contractors who can produce 60 months of P & L statements, had a downturn in 2010, and in 2011 show an upturn. There are 63 other ways to make a determination, but the general claim will follow that pattern. There are a few excluded classes – bankers, insurers, BP Station owners, investment advisers, casinos and local governments are probably the most common.If you find somebody who might be interested, refer him to a regional representative who will encourage him to fill out the paperwork to evaluate whether he may have file a claim. A staff attorney from our Winter Park office will contact him, assist him in putting together his documentation and filing a claim if there is one.We are also looking for groups to present to, and any leads that come from those meetings will belong to the local representative. We have presentations that someone from ERG lines up and will invite the local representatives to be there and give claim forms to those interested. These will become yours as well.
Benefits: As a local representative you will receive 1% of the claim amount when the client receives it from the BP Settlement. You have to do nothing other than refer the client to us.  Attorney client privilege attaches when they sign the documents and no-one but our staff attorney will be privy to any of the financial information. Your compensation comes from the attorney’s fee and in no way diminishes the recovery of the client.There is no production requirement. This is just an opportunity that you can take as much or as little advantage of as you want. You will be signed up as an employee of Economic Recovery Group as the State Bar of Florida requires that you be an employee. We will furnish business cards and marketing materials. You may also sign up additional local representatives by referring them to me. Anyone who comes on as a result will also earn 1% and you will receive an additional .25% of their production when realized.The disadvantage is that no one gets paid until and unless the claim is realized. Claims are currently taking six months from start to finish. So this is not something for anyone needing immediate cash. The average business claim, however, is running North of $250,000, so the opportunity is real. The hardest part of the job is to convince clients that they are in fact qualified to receive these funds.
