Detroit Plaintiffs Work With a Michigan Attorney Personally

Most pre-settlement funding companies serving Detroit are out-of-state operations whose underwriters have never appeared in a Michigan circuit court. Litigation Funding LLC is different. Stephen A. Wood, a Michigan attorney admitted to the State Bar of Michigan on October 24, 1977, personally reviews every Detroit application. With 47 years of Michigan personal injury practice, he understands Michigan courts, local insurance carriers, and the specific financial pressures plaintiffs face during long-running lawsuits.

You will not be passed through a call center queue. You will not be evaluated by an algorithm. You will work directly with the same Michigan attorney who has earned the trust of more than 250 Michigan injury lawyers and is a Sustaining Member of the Michigan Association for Justice.

Frequently Asked Questions from Detroit Plaintiffs

How fast can I get funded as a Detroit plaintiff?
Most Detroit clients receive a funding decision within 24 hours of submitting their application. Once approved, funds are delivered the same business day via wire, ACH, or check.

Do I need good credit to qualify?
No. We do not run credit checks. Pre-settlement funding is based on the strength of your case, not your credit score, employment, or income.

What happens if I lose my case?
You owe nothing. Pre-settlement funding is non-recourse — if your case does not result in a settlement or verdict, you keep the money you received and owe Litigation Funding LLC nothing.

How much can I receive?
Detroit plaintiffs typically receive between $500 and $30,000+ depending on the strength and expected value of their case. Our largest Wayne County advances have exceeded $30,000.

What does it cost?
See our rates page for full transparency. Our rates are among the lowest in Michigan because Stephen A. Wood, a Michigan attorney with 47 years of personal injury experience, underwrites every case personally.

Does my attorney need to approve?
Yes — we work directly with your attorney to review your case. Your attorney does not pay us; we are paid only when your case settles, out of the settlement proceeds.

Are you a Michigan-based company?
Yes. Litigation Funding LLC is based in Southfield, Michigan. Stephen A. Wood is a Michigan-licensed attorney (Bar No. admitted October 1977) and is a Sustaining Member of the Michigan Association for Justice. We are not an out-of-state lender pretending to be local.
