New Educational Site Empowers
Lawyers and Plaintiffs
In
1999, Bill Tilley launched the legal finance industry in California,
helping lawyers and firms get their finances on track with Themis
Capital. Since then, he’s been instrumental in building
that industry as the largest provider of legal financial services.
His financial expertise in the area of law grew to include guiding
plaintiffs through the settlement process with comprehensive settlement
planning. This devotion to creating a full service financial company
for the legal community led to Amicus Capital Services, LLC.
Now,
Bill Tilley and Amicus Capital Services are taking that extra
step, launching an educational site on innovative settlement planning.
Amicus Capital Services’ Settlement Planning Blog provides attorneys and plaintiffs with in depth
information on legal finance, settlement planning, structured
attorney’s fees and structured settlements, among other
topics.
“The
path to a settlement or verdict can be a very difficult process,
but achieving the resolution is just the beginning,” says
Mr. Tilley. “There are many settlement planning issues to
consider to maximize the recovery. Generally speaking Medicaid,
Medicare and ERISA liens should be negotiated; often trusts have
to be created. Investment decisions have to be made.
“Too
many lawyers and plaintiffs are unprepared for what happens after
the settlement or favorable judgment is achieved. The Settlement
Planning Blog is setup to empower plaintiffs and attorneys with
necessary knowledge and innovative settlement planning.”
What
are the plaintiff’s fiscal options to create a secure future
with their settlement? The site answers this question with a break down of
those options. What is the attorney's responsibility towards the
plaintiff in settlement planning? This question is asked and answered as well, pointing toward
pertinent areas of law.
In
addition, the Settlement Planning Blog provides the resources
necessary to further investigate the various issues of settlement
planning. These resources include a list of insurance companies
that offer structured settlements, and links to settlement resources
such as the Academy of Special Needs Planners and the Society
of Settlement Planners, among others. Government resources are
covered as well, adding information such as disability benefits,
SSI death benefits and retirement benefits.
“We’re
not lawyers,” Mr. Tilley states. “We’re the
pioneers – financial experts that specialize in settlement
planning and helping law firms move up to the next level. Through
the Settlement Planning Blog we share with our readers the knowledge
gained from over ten years’ experience in the industry.”
