The National List of Attorneys Raises the Bar with New Mentor Program

The National List of Attorneys continues to raise the bar with its new Mentor Program, which pairs an experienced attorney member of The National List with a lawyer who is developing a collection practice, a new member of The National List or even a member who is looking for guidance on how to grow his or her collection practice.

“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction,” said John C. Crosby, a former Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. “That is exactly what our Mentor Program will provide,” said Randy Nicola, Vice President of The National List of Attorneys.

Mentors are those who promote:

• Approachability: welcoming attitude, easy to talk to
• Professionalism: high ethical standards; honesty; knowledge of industry and practices 
• Dependability: the mentor’s promptness in responding to questions from those they are mentoring 
• Ability to Communicate: listening skills, ability to articulate verbally and in writing 
• Attitude: enthusiasm for role as mentor; willingness to devote required time; positive attitude about the profession and the collection industry

Although it is common for professional associations to have mentoring programs for new members, it is rare for private businesses to create these types of programs. “The National List has always prided itself for being trend setters and this is just another example of why The National List of Attorneys is the leading worldwide attorney referral network,” Jeffrey Zuck, President of the National List of Attorneys said.
