The Forecloser

You've probably heard of Todd Allen.

He's the Naples attorney who helped his clients foreclose on a branch of Bank of America last year. It was the sort of “man bites dog” story that quickly spread all over the major television networks, in national newspapers and magazines and a lengthy segment on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

But the events that led to the media frenzy didn't occur by happenstance. Allen laid the groundwork by cultivating newspaper and television reporters, and he made sure his case was airtight, anticipating every detail.
