In a Workers Compensation Lawsuit? Need money NOW?

July 1, 2010

For 7 years now my office has been in existence to help you - the plaintiff of a workers compensation lawsuit get the money you need for bills, food, and other expenses while you wait for your settlement.

If your settlement is dragging and you need money now from your workers compensation lawsuit, you can get an advance that you do not have to pay back until the case settles. Not that it is likely, but if you lose you owe nothing - nada - zilch!

Be very careful who you get your advance from - not all companies are the best.

I will help you decide whether going through my office to get a lawsuit advance is going to help you achieve your desired outcome or not.

Isn’t that worth a phone call?

Call me now so I can help you get a workers compensation lawsuit advance at 214-628-0920.

This just in: I fund Pharmaceutical Negligence Cases!

June 29, 2010

This was sent to me from my funding source last week:

I’m writing a quick note to share that we have some good news. In addition to the pharmaceutical cases we can already underwrite (Accutane, Baycol, Fen Phen, HRT, Ortho Evra, Paxil, Prempro, Vioxx and Zyprexa, as well as asbestos/mesothelioma cases), we are adding Avandia to the list of reviewable cases.

Along with the application, we simply need a retainer agreement, the face page of the complaint (or whole complaint if it’s easier to obtain), and what the health-related issue is caused by the Avandia. Also, if the case submitted is in the first group, we would need the settlement letter.

Call me to get started at 214-628-0920!

“Presettlement Funding is Scary.”

June 16, 2010

This is a popular viewpoint among plaintiffs who have a personal injury lawsuit and are waiting on a settlement but need money NOW for bills, food, mortgage, etc.

But is it TRUE?

It is true if you have called one of THOSE companies. Those companies are the ones you see on TV. Those presettlement funding companies are the ones who when you called them just tried to corral you into giving them information for their application. Those companies are the ones who want their questions answered but try not to answer your questions of “how much are your rates” etc. Those are the companies whose employees when they answer the phone sound miserable or sound like a robot.Those companies have the viewpoint of “they are desperate so they will wait for their lawsuit advance” so they take their time - YOUR TIME. They also think “they are desperate so they will not mind this high rate” knowing that you will sign their contract.

That IS scary isn’t it?

Ever wondered if it could be different?

Where did all of the Lawsuit Funding Brokers go?

June 11, 2010

After the collapse of the economy many lawsuit funding companies went out of business and that means the lawsuit cash advance brokers went before them.

A broker has to figure out how to get decent leads to get lawsuit cash advances for otherwise they make no money. They ARE their advertisement.

Many lawsuit funding companies who funded broker cases use to put out books called, “How to make a million dollars in the presettlement funding business”. Therefore everyone was putting their ads in the penny savers and craigslist and everywhere else that was considered a cheap paper that a plaintiff might pick up. This is why all of the ads looked the same.

You might have seen these ads recently. People still do it. However, no one is really winning at that game except the ad company.

Lawsuit Funding Brokers are better suited to do the opposite of what the herd is doing.

Referrals are the only way to go. Figuring out how to get them is what stops brokers or weeds them out.

I have a program for this which is why I only deal with law firm referrals. I have done very well and been a top producer at every company I have used to fund my cases.

If you want the program, call me.

I am not sure I want to get a lawsuit cash advance!

May 13, 2010

Being certain is definitely step 1.

I am always interested to learn more about why people say this. What I have found is that when someone is looking for a lawsuit cash advance loan, they are really concerned with one thing - TRUST.

This is why I have worked so hard over the years to maintain my relationships with my law firms. When they tell their client to use Rob Thomas Legal Funding, the client sees and feels the trust of the recommendation. I don’t hear the phrase, “I am not sure I want to get a lawsuit cash advance” much; but when I do I really pour on the education.

One of the things that you stand to lose by doing business with another broker OR lawsuit funding source is that they typically tell you only what they THINK you want to know. This usually adds up to them giving you the interest rates on their lawsuit advances and not much more. They also have the “they are desperate so they will stick with me” attitude. The way you will know this is what they think is that they try and corral you into doing an application and hurrying off of the phone with you.

You can’t and shouldn’t trust people who either try and keep you in mystery about how presettlement funding works or those who don’t communicate effectively by taking the time to educate you on lawsuit funding.

My clients always understand everything BEFORE we move forward.

They are CERTAIN they want to get a lawsuit cash advance and that they want to use a broker.

Are you next?

What do lawsuit cash advance funders look for in a lawsuit loan now?

April 19, 2010

The game has changed for the plaintiff of a personal injury lawsuit who needs a lawsuit cash advance loan to make it to settlement without losing their house and their mind.

When the economy got trashed by the bankers (who never went to jail by the way), trillions of dollars came up off of the poker table. Those who couldn’t lose before started losing. This changed my ability to get you a lawsuit cash advance in a major way.

Companies that would approve riskier cases with less injuries changed their minds. Why? Because the money supply they had dried up and got scared of riskier investments such as lawsuit cash advances whereby the investor loses if the plaintiff loses. Money dried up. Investors wanted a sure bet.

How does that affect you? Unless your case has a clear liability you won’t get funded. This means it has to be undeniably the defendants fault. Unless your injuries are more severe than bulging disks, you wont get funded.

The companies are “cherry picking”. This means only advancing money on the best cases. If your case isn’t perfect, you should still try and get an advance. I happen to like my lawsuit cash advance funding source and if your liability, injuries and insurance policy all line up, then we should take a stab at it.

Call me. I’d love to help you.

This just in from Holliday Bomhoff and Karatinos:

March 3, 2010

From Tonya, one of the paralegals:

WONDERFUL SERVICE!!!!

My funding source and I got this case approved WITHIN 30 minutes of receiving the documents. This is one reason why firms should use brokers.

Fees! Why?!

January 24, 2010

Fees.

Sore subject for many a plaintiff.

High fees can kill any deal for a lawsuit cash advance broker. It has happened before. I suppose with the amount of transactions that I do it will happen again.

With most companies that I am familiar, fees are part and parcel to the transaction. Fees allow the finance company to facilitate the transaction.

Have you taken a look at your fees of any recent transactions lately? Look at the fees for your house purchase, car purchase, CELL PHONE bill, trash bill, utilities, etc. Did you haggle over those with the person who you set your account up with? Were those “deal killers” for you or did you do what I did and say screw it, and move on? Keep in mind in many of the instances above, those fees are recurring. They knick you EVERY MONTH.

Usually when someone gets a lawsuit cash advance loan, they do it ONCE. Not monthly. Usually people are fine with it, some aren’t though and they allow it to get in the way of making their situation better by getting the money they were needing severely before the subject of fees came up.

IMPORTANT - any company whose fees are not visible in the contract is getting that money somewhere else from you without your being aware of it.

My contracts- the ones issued through my office via my funding source are overt. We hide nothing. We want you to know what your fees are. The more you know the more control you can have. Don’t you feel better knowing the things you should know?

My fees are the following:

$200 underwriting fee (regardless of amount advanced).
10% of whatever is advance to you (paid at the end).

Compare this to the others. I feel VERY confident of my offerings especially when you also factor in the low interest rates.

The moral of the story is don’t let necessary fees get in the way of lowering your stress, paying your bills, feeding your family.

I prefer to work with law firms who refer me clients, let me tell you why…

December 25, 2009

For 5 years I have always wanted to help as many people as possible.

Lately, I am finding that trying to build a nationwide presence doing what I do is frustrating and very low pay.

I have found that most law firms do not send documents that are needed to get the case evaluated because the plaintiff - maybe this is also you, has applied to 15 different companies. This sucks for everyone when this happens. For the plaintiff, they have exposed their risk to getting the worst deal and they are essentially telling the universe, “I will take any offer, hurry!” It sucks for the paralegal because he or she send out the same documents to 15 different people who have different requests when she didn’t even want to do 1 of them. It sucks for the attorney because they have to have 15 different conversations for 1 plaintiff. It sucks for the funders because they all do the work and only one gets paid.

I have been receiving referral from many firms since 2004. After my recent experience of trying to “get it all” by going nationwide and receiving leads from the biggest rainmaker on the internet, I have decided that I like working with referrals from law firms only.

The documents arrive within 24 hrs of receiving the referral. The plaintiff already knows they are getting the best deal and great service so they are patient and ALLOW me to do what I do best. They are always happy and so are the firms that regularly use me otherwise they wouldn’t recommend me.

Does your law firm need a trustworthy source to make sure their clients get serviced and not ripped off?

I am very open to meeting new firms looking to have that ONE guy do the work.
