Ask HN: Good Domain Attorney

3 pointsrman6666 comments

I'm looking for recommendations for a good US-based domain attorney to help negotiate the purchase of a dot-com domain that is currently owned by a third-party but not being used. Of course I can Google, but I'd like recommendations based on actual positive experience. Thanks!

How much are you willing to pay for a domain?

I have tried GoDaddy Domain Broker service twice in the past https://au.godaddy.com/domains/domain-broker

One was successful and went perfect; other was a waste of time

Actually just remembered I have used it 3 times, 2 times successfully 1 time unsuccessful

What do you need an attorney for? Contact the owner and negotiate a sale.

I am unable to contact owner because whois information is fake phone numbers and address; there is also no contact information on their website. This is for a .com

How is an attorney going to help you in that case?

GoDaddy Domain Broker service was able to locate the client, probably because they had better research skills and more information than I had?
