Do you have clients inquiring about pre-settlement funding? Do you advise your clients to obtain this form of funding prior to their case being settled?

Consumer legal funding has been around for a while, and you’ve probably been involved in at least a few cases where a client has obtained this source of funding. However, you may not realize just how important it can be to your case outcomes.

There are an infinite number of factors that influence the outcome of a case. Your clients’ financial standing is just one of those factors, albeit, an important one.

Pre-settlement funding isn’t just for your clients – it’s for you as well. When your clients get cash in their pocket before their case is settled, it will positively influence your ability to settle their case.

Here’s why you should discuss consumer legal funding with your clients when they need fast cash.

Clients don’t have realistic expectations for settlements

Clients tend to have unrealistic expectations for how they’ll receive their settlement money. Some will expect to walk out of court with a check in hand, while others know it takes time, but still expect their money too soon. Few are aware that even the most clear cut cases will take months to resolve.

Naturally, you’ll review the possible outcomes and probabilities with your clients ahead of time, but there’s something about the promise of money that makes people believe they’ll be the exception to the rule. No matter how clearly you tell your clients it will be a while before they’ll receive any settlement money, in the back of their mind, they’re likely thinking it will come sooner.

Consumer legal funding can help you manage client expectations. When they get a portion of their money upfront, they won’t be hyper-focused on when they’ll get their settlement money. It will still be important, but the desperation will disappear. As a result, you’ll have an easier time managing their expectations for the settlement they’ll receive.

Clients feel better when they’re financially supported

Money tends to influence people’s moods, and when your clients are doing well financially, it’s easier to work with them.

Most of the time, however, your clients are going to be in a position where they are short on cash. People tend to get frustrated and even combative when they don’t have enough money to cover bills and other expenses.

Consumer legal funding can provide your clients with enough money to keep them from going into debt or getting behind on bills, which will alleviate a great deal of stress.

When your clients feel better about their financial situation, they’re less likely to be combative and reject your advice or argue over things they don’t understand.

You’ll experience less pressure to settle prematurely

Let’s face it: clients can make you feel pressure to settle faster than you’d like, which means less settlement money for them. When you’re working on a contingency for a percentage of the settlement, this also means less money for you.

It’s in your and your clients’ best interest to take your time negotiating a settlement agreement. When a client is pressuring you to speed up the process and settle prematurely, it’s almost always because they need money immediately and are willing to settle for less to get the money right away.

Consumer legal funding changes this dynamic. When your clients obtain pre-settlement funding, they’ll be calm, and you can take your time negotiating the settlement they deserve.
