Uncle Sam has created a way for you to keep more of your hard-won settlement or award, but there is much to consider and new information to weigh.

When a contingency fee case reaches a verdict or settlement, it’s a big day for a plaintiff attorney. You have worked hard and shouldered litigation costs — often for years without compensation — to achieve the best outcome for your client.

In this episode, I have the opportunity to speak with a financial management professional who specializes in advising trial attorneys on how to maximize their use of attorney fee structures. The concept of fee deferral arrangements may be familiar to you, but the landscape continues to evolve.

My guest is Sam Dolce, an attorney with Milestone, a financial firm that optimizes settlement funds for trial attorneys and plaintiffs.  Sam consults with legal professionals about Qualified Settlement Funds, fee deferrals, and settlement planning. Sam received his B.A. from Macalester College and his J.D. from SUNY Buffalo Law School. Thanks to Sam for sharing his insights.

On a previous episode, you can hear Sam’s colleague, Erin Waas, who heads up the Milestone Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides low-cost funding to injured individuals in need of cash as their personal injury cases wind their way through court.

Thanks for listening!
