Lending Philosophy

You’re an advocate for your clients. We’re advocates for you. Counsel Financial is proud to offer credit lines designed exclusively for trial lawyers. Our flexible credit lines allow respected litigators to level the playing field with major insurance carriers and major corporations who have limitless funds to litigate each and every case to reduce its value.

A line of credit from Counsel Financial enables you to secure the resources essential to winning your cases. Counsel Financial allows you to use tomorrow’s anticipated fees to obtain medical reports, hire expert witnesses, order life care plans and more, without worrying about how to pay for them now. A line of credit from Counsel Financial gives you the confidence and the power to do whatever is necessary to maximize recovery for your clients.

Contingent fees make great collateral®

Our team of attorneys—all of whom have substantial experience in contingent fee litigation—evaluate your entire case portfolio. Then, together with you, determine the approximate amount of contingent fees due to your law firm over the next several years. Counsel Financial grants a revolving line of credit based upon this anticipated income. Your law firm credit line is not limited to the value of your personal assets. As a result, Counsel Financial can provide credit lines that are significantly larger than traditional banks.

Borrow what you need now

Borrowing against future fees today allows your law firm to maximize verdicts and settlements tomorrow. There are absolutely no hidden fees or costs after the closing of the credit line. Counsel Financial only charges monthly interest on the amount your firm actually borrows—not the maximum amount of the line. It’s just like borrowing from a credit card, only easier. Counsel Financial never charges any pre-payment penalties, audit fees, draw fees or maintenance fees.
