How can I qualify for legal funding?

  1. Have a lawsuit or legal claim for injuries or damages. Meaning you seek money for a wrong that was made against you by a person or company. At a minimum, there needs to be potentially a liable party for whom you have a financial claim. The greater and more valuable the claim, the larger the amount of legal funding you can get.
  2. Have an attorney represent you on a contingency fee basis. Lawyers hired on contingency only get paid for their work after they win or settle a case. Their payment comes from the settlement or court award money, not the plaintiff’s own pocket.
