Who is a typical ALFA client?
An ALFA client can be anyone who has hired an attorney on a contingency-fee basis to seek financial compensation for a personal injury suffered in an accident that wasn’t their fault. Typically, the injury suffered has left them in financial hardship due to an inability to work. The consumer can contact one of the ALFA member companies directly to apply for legal funding or their Attorney may refer their clients to an ALFA member company when the client is experiencing financial distress during the course of his or her case. The client most often uses the funds received to make mortgage or rent payments, pay medical bills, purchase food, car payments, tuition, or basically anything else they need. Legal funding is used to pay for life’s necessities. Prior to applying for legal funding, it is common for the client to first turn to friends, credit cards, employers, or their community for financial assistance, but when these options are exhausted they find legal funding critically helpful
