“We saw results immediately. Advocate Capital has been the fuel powering our growth.”
Eric L. Toscano, Esq., Managing Attorney Tenant Law GroupI first learned about Advocate Capital about five years ago through a well-respected plaintiff’s firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. While at the time my young firm did not yet qualify for their services, the Advocate Capital team was very encouraging, checking in with me every few months, answering my questions, and generally being a great resource.
When my firm finally qualified just over a year ago, we immediately invested the recaptured revenues into marketing and growing our team. We saw results immediately. By the end of 2019, my firm’s revenues had grown 87.4% over 2018.
My firm was recognized by Law Firm 500 as the 22nd fastest growing law firm in the United States and the 4th fastest growing law firm in California. Advocate Capital has been the fuel powering this growth. And even with the challenges 2020 has presented, we expect to continue our growth trajectory.
To say I am grateful to Advocate Capital for their support is an understatement. Any plaintiff’s firm would be crazy not to take advantage of the services this company offers.
“I believe in Advocate Capital’s case expense funding concept so much that I include it in the class I teach at UNLV.”
Sean Claggett, Partner Claggett & Sykes Trial LawyersI believe in the concept of Advocate Capital’s case expense funding so much that I include it in the Law Practice Management class I teach at the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law. When a law firm is interested in our focus group services but concerned about costs, I highly recommend Advocate Capital as a best practice option to help them get the best results for their clients.
“Advocate Capital has helped me help more clients. ”
Kay Van Wey, Owner Van Wey & MetzlerThe team at Advocate is very customer focused. Advocate Capital has helped me help more clients. After reading Mike’s book, How David Beats Goliath, I realized that I should not be using my own “after-tax” dollars to fund my cases. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have a funding source for my large, expensive cases which may take years to resolve. The team at Advocate is very customer focused. It has been an A++ experience.

“The strength of the company makes Advocate Capital an excellent partner to achieve long-term business goals.”
Christian Scranton, President Scranton Law FirmAdvocate Capital has been a vital partner to our firm and we appreciate the level of service they provide. Our experience with Advocate Capital is always positive as they have our firm’s best interest in mind and understand the nature of our firm’s business cycle. This knowledge and understanding is what sets them apart from their competition, in addition, to the excellent management of Advocate Capital internally. The strength of the company makes Advocate Capital an excellent partner to achieve long-term business goals and has allowed us to grow a business relationship we hope to continue for many more years to come.
In the difficult business climate we find ourselves in, it is a relief to know there is a company that one can turn to assist in funding the endeavors of my firm. A majority of lending institutions are reducing access to vital business capital, with the exception of Advocate Capital. They extended our credit line to allow us to have our best year on record.
We are one of Advocate Capital's longest clients. It made sense to us almost 20 years ago and it makes good sense now. They have been like a partner for us, and I can't imagine why a personal injury firm would not use them. What they do helps us get better results for our clients by eliminating the agony in so many financial decisions. Thank you for your continued support.

“The people at Advocate get it.”
Roger Booth, Owner Booth LawIn the catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases that our firm handles, you have to spend money to make money. Litigation has become increasingly expensive, and we are often litigating against defendants whose resources dwarf ours. Success often requires hiring the best experts in the country, and they don’t come cheap.
The last thing we need to be worrying about during the midst of trial is how we’re going to afford to pay for the experts and other expenses that are necessary in these types of cases. That’s where Advocate Capital comes in. They provide us with the financial wherewithal to take on any defendant, in any type of case, in any forum. We could not do what we do without them.
On top of that, their staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Working with them has been a pleasure. Unlike banks with whom we have dealt in the past in order to finance our cases, the people at Advocate get it. They understand that we are not a typical business with typical cash flow, receivables, etc. and that we require financing that meets our unique needs. They also understand and appreciate the importance of what plaintiff’s lawyers around the country do to achieve justice for people and promote the safety of products, workplaces, etc. The people at Advocate have become a critical part of our litigation team.

“They are extraordinarily organized, timely, and easy to work with.”
Erik Child, Principal Child & Jackson, A Professional Law CorporationAdvocate Capital has been indispensable to the success of our practice. They are extraordinarily organized, timely, and easy to work with. They make advancing costs on personal injury cases an afterthought instead of a constant worry. I have since had other businesses attempt to finance our firm, and none could offer me the immediate and easy internet access, service and painless accounting that they do, and at better rates! I highly, highly recommend trying them. Once you do, you’ll save so much time and effort that you’ll never look back.
“They have shown a solid understanding of the legal business often not found in other lending facilities.”

We appreciate their easy to access service, the dedication they have shown to our firm, and the great people on their staff. We highly recommend Advocate Capital.

Phillip T. Vondra, Attorney Law Offices of Vondra & HannaCase funding with Advocate Capital has been one of the best decisions our firm has made. It has allowed us to give the best possible representation to our clients by granting us the financial freedom to hire the finest experts. No longer are we concerned about how to finance a case to oppose the large defense firms with deep pockets. Thanks to Advocate Capital we can go toe to toe with the defense without the worry of increasing litigation costs. Aside from the benefit to our cases, Advocate Capital has been exceptionally easy to work with, always ready to answer any questions and make case funding as simple as possible.

Thomas B. Calvert Thomas B. Calvert, A Professional Law CorporationAdvocate Capital is an important part of our business operation. My relationship with Advocate Capital was thrust upon me after my previous funding source went out of business. From the beginning, it was clear that Advocate Capital was a professional funding source committed to assisting trial lawyers in obtaining the best results for their clients. To be successful trial lawyer, you must have a long term commitment to your practice and to your clients. Advocate Capital believes in long term success and supports this firm in our endeavors to reach our objectives.
“Advocate Capital has always been a true partner in the operation of our business.”
Edward Sutherland, OwnerAdvocate Capital has always been a true partner in the operation of our business. In 2012, I suffered a totally unexpected health issue. In February, I had a heart attack and 5 bypasses! Without the continued support of Advocate Capital and its staff, and some wonderful personal encouragement from Michael, my business would not have been able to survive much less rebound and gain the strength it has today going into 2013. Thank you Advocate Capital!

“Advocate Capital is by far the most efficient and professional funding company that is out there.”
Deb Gracey, Litigation Manager Jay Trucks & Associates, P.C.
“Advocate Capital has been a great asset in our firm’s success.”
Ron Netemeyer, Owner Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & NetemeyerAdvocate Capital has been a great asset in our firm’s success. They are professional and easy to work with and they have become an integral part of our client injury team. Their assistance gives us much more strength and flexibility when representing our clients and helps us achieve greater results.
“They truly take a personalized approach to their business relationships.”
David L. McCollum, Partner McCollum & Griggs, LLCI can’t say enough good things about Advocate Capital. They have allowed our firm to handle larger, more financially demanding cases than we could have ever pursued before. As a result, we have increased our income and gotten better results for our clients. Most importantly, I can’t say enough good things about the people that work there. Every single person has been friendly and helpful. They truly take a personalized approach to their business relationships. For example, Leese called one day and was told I was out of the office because I was getting married. To my surprise when I returned to the office, I found a wedding gift waiting for me from the great staff at Advocate! That gesture epitomizes the way they do business. I highly recommend them to any lawyer who wants to grow their practice and enjoy the financial freedom to do so.
Meet Advocate Capital Client, Sean Claggett
“Advocate Capital has enabled my firm to do our work more efficiently and capably.”
Keith Galliher, President The Galliher Law FirmWe are a small personal injury law firm. Advocate Capital has enabled us to promptly fund the costs necessary to assure that our case preparation, including expert witness retention is thorough, timely and effective. Our operating capital is freed up for office operation rather than financing case costs. The interest rates are very reasonable. We pass these interest costs on to the client when the case resolves, with no complaint from any client. Advocate Capital has enabled my firm to do our work more efficiently and capably. I strongly recommend Advocate Capital.
“The Advocate Capital expense line allowed me to work up my complex cases the right way.”
Joe Russo, Owner and Managing Partner Granite Law Group, PLLCI acquired my law practice less than a year ago from the retiring owner. I had to pay a 1/3rd referral fee on the full case inventory I inherited. Giving up 1/3rd across the board in my first year of business was a difficult proposition. The Advocate Capital working line provided me with the flexibility to hire a new staff, manage cash flow, and invest in a robust marketing campaign which allowed me to bridge the gap to the following year where I have a fresh case inventory. The Advocate Capital expense line also allowed me to work up my complex cases the right way. I’m not hesitant to invest in expensive experts who are going to bring tremendous value to my case in the long run. Moreover, what is so unique about Advocate Capital, is that they break down each client expense advance per case. No bank lender is willing to do that.
“Advocate Capital is the best thing to happen to our practice in nearly 30 years.”
Bob Solomon, Owner The Law Offices of Robert A. Solomon, P.C.Being able to hire three top notch expert witnesses with our line of credit from Advocate Capital helped us to settle a negligence case for 1.5 million dollars. Without our line of credit from Advocate Capital, I don’t know where we would have gotten the $19,000 to hire the accident reconstructionist, economist, and vocational expert necessary to prove plaintiff’s case. Advocate Capital is the best thing to happen to our practice in nearly 30 years. Insurance companies have an endless supply of money to defend cases. Now with Advocate’s help, the playing field has been leveled. The best part is that we’re able to pass the cost of financing cases onto the client.
“Our firm has been able to take on bigger cases that would be more expensive to litigate.”
Cheryl Console, Financial Controller Console and Associates P.C.My law firm has been working with Advocate Capital since February 2012. With the advance funds, our firm has been able to take on bigger cases that would be more expensive to litigate, but that ultimately bring in more lucrative settlements and verdicts. This benefits our clients and keeps our firm going strong. I’d highly recommend Advocate Capital.
“Not only am I able to borrow money at the click of a button on their website, I am also able to get an immediate payoff figure.”
John Bazzurro, Owner Law Offices of John T. Bazzurro, LLCI recently opened my own practice and knew that the financing of personal injury files could be problematic for a start-up solo practitioner. I met a member of Advocate Capital, Inc. at an AAJ seminar and they provided me with exactly what I was looking for – the ability to borrow money to fund specific personal injury files without the need to micromanage the interest charge on each and every file. Their website and software keep track as to what exactly is owed on each particular file at any given time. Not only am I able to borrow money at the click of a button on their website, I am also able to get an immediate payoff figure and pay off an individual file’s balance at the click of a button. I would highly recommend this to any start-up personal injury practice.
“Advocate Capital, Inc. has made it easy for my firm to cut through the red tape to fund our cases in an efficient manner.”
Howard S. Richman, Partner Grant Richman, PLLC Attorneys At LawThe professionalism of the staff and management of Advocate Capital, Inc. has made it easy for my firm to cut through the red tape to fund our cases in an efficient manner, resulting in our being able to resolve our cases quicker than before.

“Thank you for making our stressful profession a little less stressful.”
Ira Perlman, Partner Law Offices of Ira. M. Perlman and Robert D. RosenAdvocate Capital, Inc. has been enormously beneficial to the ongoing efficient operation and management of our practice by allowing us to concentrate on practicing law and moving our cases on a timely basis. As a result of the disbursement financing provided by Advocate Capital, Inc., we no longer have to concern ourselves with cash flow issues in relation to timely outlay of expert fees and other case expenses. More importantly, Advocate Capital, Inc. has created its own user friendly tracking system and software which provides exacting information concerning all monies borrowed with the fees and interest being charged so there is total transparency and never a question leaving you or your clients in the dark. Most of all, the staff and representatives of the company sincerely strive to assist you in any way they can and are always accessible in every way. Thank you for making our stressful profession a little less stressful.
“You will not find a better and more understanding partner than Advocate Capital.”
John H. FisherWhen I opened my plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law firm in upstate New York in April, 2013, I was facing a challenge, namely, funding the substantial case expenses of our malpractice lawsuits without depleting my personal savings. Fortunately, I found Advocate Capital.
While bankers do not recognize the monetary value of contingent-fee, personal injury and medical malpractice cases, I found a receptive and understanding ear with Lynne M. Cushing, a business development manager with Advocate Capital. Lynne expressed understanding about my financial needs during a difficult transition time for my new firm and treated me like a friend and ally throughout the process.
Today, having worked with Lynne M. Cushing and Advocate Capital for ten months, the funding of case expenses has been seamless and this has helped the cash flow for my new firm. I do not hesitate to hire the top medical experts and create cutting-edge medical exhibits for my trials with the help of funding from Advocate Capital. The main beneficiaries have been our disabled clients. I am lucky to work with Advocate Capital as a partner for our cases!
If you’re considering a third-party lender for case expenses, you will not find a better and more understanding partner than Advocate Capital.
“They provide you with a very hands-on and capable support staff.”
Greg La Sorsa, Owner La Sorsa & BeneventanoOver the course of our 20 year existence, L&B has had occasion to engage the services of a number of legal funding companies. By far, the most professional, most organized, most lawyer friendly company has been Advocate Capital. Their funding requirements are consistent and fair. Their advanced technology capability makes your own record keeping simple and concise. They provide you with a very hands-on and capable support staff. Advocate Capital has been a very important part of our success.

“Our firm would highly recommend Advocate Capital to any firm seeking financial assistance.”
Lauren Keeling, Marketing Director Adler Markoff & AssociatesWe have been very pleased with Advocate Capital’s services. They have helped us to expand our practice and achieve the best results on behalf of our clients. Our firm would highly recommend Advocate Capital to any firm seeking financial assistance.
“I can honestly say that going to Advocate Capital has changed my level of service to my clients greatly.”
Scott Hoy, Principal Hoy Trial Lawyers, Prof. LLCChanging to Advocate Capital absolutely changed my practice. I went from having cases go the speed that I needed, instead of the speed that I could afford that month. I never realized how much that made a difference in the amount of cases I could take and the speed with which I could get them done until I did not have to finance my own costs anymore. When you have a really good case, it makes a difference to the other side when you can disclose all your witnesses with finalized reports all at once. The best strategy for getting a case resolved is to have it ready to try. When you can get all your ducks in a row with Advocate Capital’s help like this, it makes a big difference.
I can honestly say that going to Advocate Capital has changed my level of service to my clients greatly, and it has also increased my profitability as well. I have never had a client complain about the added interest costs. I have many letters of thanks from people who appreciated how I moved their case along. I expect to work with Advocate for a long time.
“Advocate Capital’s case expense funding gave us immediate access to the money that was tied-up in our case load.”
Patrick Witherington, Attorney Witherington Law PLLCThis allowed us to use that money to grow our business. We have been very pleased with Advocate Capital. The case funding software is easy to learn and use and the reports are great!
“Now, we have the freedom to represent all of our clients to the fullest.”
Gary Massey, Owner Massey & Associates, PCAdvocate Capital, Inc. has transformed the finances of our practice by removing the fear of paying for cases that cost a lot of money. Now, we have the freedom to represent all of our clients to the fullest.

“Advocate Capital understands our needs and delivers every time.”
Jesus Dovalina, Owner Law Offices of Jesus M. Dovalina, P.C.The Law Firm of Jesus M. Dovalina is a two lawyer personal injury law firm in the small town of Del Rio, Texas. We handle all kinds of injury cases including vehicle accidents and products liability cases which occasionally include a wrongful death cause of action. These cases can get extremely expensive very fast. I recently was able to obtain a verdict for a young 24 year-old man who was struck by a bus and had to undergo two back surgeries. The cost of having to hire an accident reconstructionist, economist and vocational expert with the help of Advocate Capital made it possible for me to obtain a $1.2 million verdict. Advocate Capital understands our needs and delivers every time. I highly recommend their services.
“Advocate Capital helps to level the playing field.”

“I continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the company and its staff members.”
Kevin B. Fullen, Firm Administrator Sloan FirmOur firm has partnered with with Advocate Capital since 2010. I continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the company and its staff members. Their willingness to blog case results and other accomplishments of the firm and its members has been an added benefit. Thank you Advocate Capital for all you do.
“I absolutely recommend Advocate Capital to any personal injury firm who is looking to expand their caseload.”
Jeff Rasansky, Principal Attorney Rasansky Law FirmWe’ve been clients of Advocate Capital for many years, and are very pleased with the resources they provide to our law firm. As a personal injury firm, we take cases on contingency. Advocate Capital provides us with the cash needed to properly fund our clients’ cases, and does so efficiently, promptly and professionally. I absolutely recommend Advocate Capital to any personal injury firm who is looking to expand their caseload.
“Now I have the freedom to push multiple big cases at once, and the results have been fantastic.”
Michael Cowen, Owner Cowen Rodriguez PeacockBefore Advocate, I averaged about one seven-figure settlement per year. In the last twelve months, I have settled 5 cases in the seven-figures. Before Advocate Capital, I was never in a position to prosecute multiple big cases with six-figure expense budgets at the same time. Now I have the freedom to push multiple big cases at once, and the results have been fantastic. In short, I love Advocate, and am grateful for the part you are playing in my success.

“Advocate Capital truly understands how a plaintiff’s firm operates.”
Jason Chandler, Director of Operations Frenkel & Frenkel, LLPAfter working with Advocate Capital for the past several years, they have helped allow our office to give 110% to every case we decide to fund. Lisa Wagner is the best representative to work with and is always on hand to answer any questions we have. Advocate Capital truly understands how a plaintiff’s firm operates and continues to make technological advances through their website and add capabilities to help streamline our needs. Thank you!
“I can say without reservation that we owe a significant part of our success to Advocate Capital.”
Daniel Ross, Owner Ross Law, P.C.I believe that having legal funding available for case expenses increases the average person’s access to justice. I have been using funding for legal case expenses since I started my own firm in 1998. The firm has grown exponentially since then, and I can say without reservation that we owe a significant part of our success to Advocate Capital.
Initially, I used another legal funding company, but the administrative requirements and ever-changing complexities of their funding plans began to frustrate me. If I can’t understand it, I certainly can’t explain it to a client.
Since we began using Advocate in 2003, I have been impressed by their professionalism and willingness to assist us with our questions and concerns. They are consistent, stable, and friendly. I no longer worry about being overwhelmed by the unlimited litigation budgets of huge corporations and insurance companies, and I am able to take cases knowing that I cannot be put at a disadvantage due to inability to fund the expenses.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to other Plaintiffs’ firms and Plaintiffs’ attorneys. If anyone would like to discuss my experience with Advocate, please contact me at (512) 474-7677.
“Advocate Capital has been a invaluable resource for our clients and for our law firm.”
Garrett Handy, Principal Attorney Handy & Handy, PCAdvocate Capital has been a invaluable resource for our clients and for our law firm.

“Advocate Capital has been an invaluable partner in the growth and prosperity of my law firm.”
Jason Pottenger, Principal The Pottenger Law Firm, LLCAdvocate Capital has been an invaluable partner in the growth and prosperity of my law firm. They have earned my loyalty because of the personal service they provided during our 13 year relationship. They were incredibly helpful in handling the numerous complexities which arose when my ex law partner and I dissolved our former law firm. Advocate Capital made a difficult process as painless as possible.
“Advocate Capital has improved cash flow and reduced my personal taxes for phantom income for many, many years.”
Matthew D. Powell, Chief Financial Officer and President Matthew D. Powell, P.A.I can’t imagine running a profitable personal injury law firm without your help. Thank you!
“The pandemic has significantly altered the legal landscape in the field of personal injury law.”
Marc JD Ellis, Founder Ellis Law FirmDriving has decreased considerably while the court system has become backlogged, with cases being set for trial 2-years from the date of filing. This has led to fewer new clients and tremendously frustrated those with existing cases. Aware of these factors, the insurance industry has exponentially increased their standardized practice of delay, stall, hinder, then low-ball banking on the attrition of Plaintiffs and their lawyers. Advocate Capital is a guardian in our most challenging time and has permitted us to continue to fight, without fear of expense, for just and fair results for our clients.
Advocate Capital has provided confidence and support, which allowed this firm to thrive during the darkest days of the pandemic. We are honored to collaborate with such an exceptional entity and look forward to many more years of success.
“We have developed a great partnership with Advocate Capital.”
Aaron Hicks, Founding Partner Hicks Law Firm PCFrom top-notch customer service to lightning-quick funding, Advocate Capital is vital to our firm's success.

Meet Advocate Capital Client, Joshua White of Altair Law
“Advocate Capital has been an invaluable partner with our firm.”
Rogen Chhabra, Partner Chhabra & Gibbs, P.A.Their processes are smooth and hassle-free, and we never have to worry about funding cases or business cash flow. This allows us to tackle bigger cases at higher volume while still giving our clients quality representation with a healthy war chest to pull from any time it’s needed.
“Advocate Capital has really been a game changer for my law practice and my life.”
Steve Harrelson, Managing Partner Harrelson Law Firm, P.A.Achieving justice for our clients has become so much more efficient with Advocate Capital by our side.
“I am so very thankful your company exists to support the work we do.”
Brian McCallister, Shareholder The McCallister Law Firm, P.C.Too often the rights of the voiceless, the damned, and the forgotten are simply overlooked, or worse, trampled upon. As a plaintiff's lawyer, sometimes our work is lonely and it is satisfying to know that my clients' rights are important and worthy through Advocate Capital's willingness to fund our work. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support.
We are a very small shop, two lawyers and an administrative assistant. We have approximately 30 to 40 cases on our docket. Because we are not a "volume" plaintiffs' law firm, we may go six, seven, and even eight months without a settlement or collection of a verdict. This is not a good example of a Harvard Business School business model!!! To plug those gaps in income, we rely heavily on Advocate help to fund our cases during those lean times. Advocate understands this is our "business model" and is able to appreciate the value of our clients' cases as non-traditional "collateral." Banks do not understand or even comprehend this type of lending. Banks have to be able to tangibly "touch" the collateral. I want you to know how important this is to our small law firm's very existence.
I also appreciate your AdvoTrac software. We are able to consider passing on the interest attributable to those cases in which we have sought and received funding, though we do not always pass the interest charged by ACI to our client. We consider doing so on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you for your help, your loyalty and your understanding of the work we do.
“We have seen significant growth in our business using Advocate.”
Felipe B. Link, Owner Felipe B. Link & AssociatesBy financing cases with Advocate, we were able to free up capital, allowing us to invest in growing both our caseload and our business infrastructure.
“For my small personal injury practice, Advocate allows me the ability to practice on the level of much larger firms.”
Jay Jacobson, Partner and Owner Jacobson LawI constantly use the case funding account to develop my cases at a much earlier stage than I used to. I can now hire experts at the pre-deposition stage to assist me in discovery. And, I have the support for my trials that bring me to the next level. Without the support of Advocate, I would be moving my cases at a slower pace.
Renz Benton, Controller Levinson Law GroupWe have access to all the money we need to try cases and cover our short-term operating needs. We work all our cases up to trial without the fear of the associated costs. This gives us an advantage in our marketplace over our competition and the insurance companies. Advocate Capital has easy-to-use systems and transparent knowledgeable staff.
“We have used Advocate Capital to help fund our clients’ cases for over a decade and never regretted the decision.”
Tom Peyton, Managing Partner Peyton Law Firm, PLLCAdvocate Capital’s AdvoTrac makes funding easy and accessible. The staff are personable and responsive to inquiries. We certainly haven’t found a better funding source. We’re more than satisfied with their service over the years.
“Advocate allows our small personal injury firm to play on a level field with the large insurance companies and their big defense firms that can, and will, spend great amounts of money trying to upend our clients' legitimate injury claims”
Jeff Roberts, President Roberts | Jeandron LawWith Advocate financing behind our cases, we can concentrate on putting forth the necessary presentation of evidence that helps the jury decide cases in our clients' favor.
“We opened up our firm this past year, and Advocate Capital has been a crucial partner in allowing us to grow quickly.”
Joe Caputo, Founding Attorney Williams Caputo Injury LawyersWe opened up our firm this past year, and Advocate Capital has been a crucial partner in allowing us to grow quickly. Their process is very transparent, their online platform is easy to use, and their team is extremely responsive. Thank you, Advocate Capital!
“Advocate's platform is easy to use and makes it easy to track expenses on a per case basis. ”
Kevin Cheney, Managing Partner Cheney Galluzzi & HowardWorking with Advocate Capital has been great! Before, we were loaning out post-tax dollars for free to our clients. While that worked when we were small, as we grew it became economically unsustainable. Enter Advocate Capital. Advocate has allowed us to use our post-tax dollars for marketing and growth while making sure we still can fund cases at the level needed for victory. Its platform is easy to use and makes it easy to track expenses on a per case basis. We highly recommend them!
“The participation of Advocate in the funding of our cases has been invaluable.”
Martin S. Kardon, Managing Shareholder Kanter, Bernstein and Kardon PCNo longer do we need to wait for that anticipated settlement check before we can hire experts, investigators and trial consultants for our cases. When the invoice comes through we can just pay it immediately which is something our consultants greatly appreciate. This also makes them available to us if something arises on short notice as often happens.
We've had no push back from our clients who understand that the Advocate funding costs are to be reimbursed from case proceeds at the end.
The online portal, AdvoTrac, is seamless in processing loans and payments as well as summarizing the loan expenses at the anticipated time of payoff.
Highly recommend.
“Getting set up was pretty seamless, and AdvoTrac has proven invaluable for tracking, payment and informative purposes.”
Laurie Baker, Administrator/Paralegal The Law Office of Richard D. Carroll, APCWhen we started our firm, having the resources from Advocate Capital gave us the peace of mind we needed to be able to litigate our cases appropriately and fully. Getting set up was pretty seamless, and having the AdvoTrac website available to us has proven invaluable for tracking, payment and informative purposes. Also, our dedicated representative, Lynne, has been with us from day one, always available to help us out with any questions, to patiently walk us through steps required, and overall provide a level of service that is immeasurable. I know Advocate has given our firm the footing we needed to get going and be the successful firm we are today.
