Trouble Getting Docs

We receive calls almost every day from applicants who have been denied from other company’s because the lender was unable to retrieve documents from their attorney. This is not unusual and we understand. It is important to understand that lawyers are busy. Many attorneys represent 60+ clients at any given time. They are in the courtroom more than in their own office. Many lawyers work 60+ hours a week and much of their time is spent catching up with their clients. There are some attorneys that can only speak with their clients in the morning or evening.

An attorney is hired to provide great representation for their clients. This sometimes relates to unanswered phone messages and unresponsiveness because they are swarmed with trials and critical deadlines. LawLeaf has relationships with thousands of attorneys and many of them work during the weekends. The point is that attorneys are extremely busy throughout the week and sometimes they forget to send documents or can’t find the time to have a conversation with an underwriter. This doesn’t mean they are unwilling to help you find funding for your case.

When you are faced with this very predicament understand it’s not impossible. We consult with clients each day that are faced with critical deadlines of their own. Many of our clients are being forced out of their homes because they can’t afford to pay the bills. If you are having a problem getting your attorney to send documents over to any lender, you should consider the following:

• Call the attorney and politely ask him or her to send the documents over.
• We have provided a standard form on LawLeaf titled “Plaintiff Funding Documentation Request”. On the upper right hand of the form, you can email your attorney the document straight from the page, download to a PDF or print it out.
• Call the paralegal or secretary and have them retrieve the documents on your behalf.
• If the attorney is not cooperating explain the advance is greatly needed. Many times it takes a call from the client. If you explain to your attorney that you are only borrowing against your lawsuit because you have no other option, they will concede and agree to send the documentation.

There are some attorneys that would rather not work with any lawsuit funding companies because of rates. We understand their concerns and we agree that legal funding should only be used as a last resort. LawLeaf has a great reputation in this market. We have served our clients with the uttermost respect and we strive to be the best in the industry. If you are having trouble obtaining documentation from your attorney, fill out our online contact form and explain your situation. If we know ahead of time you are having a problem getting documents, we will assign it to the appropriate representative that can walk you through the process.

We are always here to help you.
