About Camilo Concha

With only $300, Camilo Concha and his family moved to the United States from Colombia. He was 14 years old and didn't speak English. He was enrolled in an ESL program at Chatsworth High School and was advised by his teacher to consider enrolling in a trade school in lieu of college because his English skills were so under-developed. His teacher told Camilo Concha that he would probably be in his mid-twenties by the time he'd be able to graduate.

But Camilo Concha had already made up his mind that he wanted to go to college, so he ignored his teacher's advice. Four years later, he would be honored by the California State Assembly and become one of the youngest graduates from Chatsworth High.

While in college, Camilo Concha got a job working part time as a receptionist for the San Fernando Valley Bar Association. He was one of the few Spanish-speaking receptionists working there and spent most of his days helping Spanish-speakers find appropriate legal representation.

It was there, in the year 2000, where he came up with the idea for Attorney Search Network. Camilo Concha felt like the process could be simplified, modernized, and streamlined, so he developed the now famous web search engine to help clients connect with lawyers.

He started the business out of his small studio apartment, but he knew that to be taken seriously, he would need a respectable address for his office. So he spent one afternoon visiting office buildings along Ventura Blvd trying to find a place that would rent to him. He met with an agent and she asked him what his budget was. He sheepishly told her "$200". She smiled and told him to come back tomorrow.

When Camilo Concha returned, his new office was ready for him. It was a former janitor's closet that had been repainted the night before. The office was so small, he had to leave it to take calls.

From this small, windowless, poorly-ventilated room, Camilo Concha went to work, slowly building the Attorney Search Network until it had expanded to the point where he need to hire employees. He was going to need a bigger office.

Almost 15 years later and Camilo Concha is still on Ventura Blvd, but he's no longer in the janitor's closet. His flagship company, Marketing Holdings, occupies an office of 8,000 sq ft on one of the upper floors of the Comerica building in Sherman Oaks, California.
