More details to this question:
I have an appointment with Daon John of FUBU. I have no money for attorney and he states my idea will not leave his office (or at least his staff said so). Should I keep pursuing this appointment? I have had a few good offer for my product. Please advise where or how to protect myself with as little or no money.

Have the highest ranking person in the firm that you have contact with sign a non-disclosure agreement that binds the entire company and prevents them from disclosing or using your ideas without your explicit permission. You can find generic versions of this agreement on line or an attorney can draft a more specific one for you for little money.

I would get a nondisclosure agreement and not show anything to him until he has signed it. Make sure the venue is for the state in which you reside or wish to have the case heard in if you have to sue him down the road.

You need a confidentiality agreement at least. That is not very strong protection, but it is at least something. You may be able to find something for free searching the internet. They are also called NDA or non-disclosure agreements. Even with an agreement like that, you are at risk. Also, it is possible, maybe even likely that he will not sign it.
