Dearborn Plaintiffs Work With a Michigan Attorney Personally
Most pre-settlement funding companies serving Dearborn are out-of-state operations whose underwriters have never appeared in 3rd Circuit Court or 19th District Court. Litigation Funding LLC is different. Stephen A. Wood, a Michigan attorney admitted to the State Bar of Michigan in October 1977, personally reviews every Dearborn application. With 47 years of Michigan personal injury practice, he understands Wayne County courts, the local insurance carriers, and the specific pressures Dearborn 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.

Frequently Asked Questions from Dearborn Plaintiffs
Do I need to live in Dearborn to qualify?
No. We fund Michigan plaintiffs statewide. You qualify if you have an active civil case being handled by a licensed Michigan attorney. Many of our Wayne County clients live in surrounding communities including Dearborn Heights, Inkster, Allen Park, Melvindale, Lincoln Park, Detroit (west side), Garden City.
What does pre-settlement funding cost in Michigan?
Rates vary based on the strength of your case and estimated time to settlement. We guarantee the lowest rates in Michigan and will beat any written proposal. See our rates page for specifics.
Will pre-settlement funding affect my Dearborn case in court?
No. The advance is funded by a third party and repaid from your settlement. It is generally not a discoverable element of your case. Your attorney can advise on specifics for your particular claim.
How is this different from a loan?
This is not a loan. It is a non-recourse cash advance. No monthly payments, no credit impact, and no repayment obligation if you lose your case. See the full comparison.
Are you familiar with cases involving Dearborn’s major employers?
Yes. Many Dearborn-area plaintiffs work for Ford Motor Company or its suppliers. We fund workplace injury cases, auto accident claims, and personal injury matters involving those employer contexts. The case is funded based on its legal strength — not your employer.
