How David Beats Goliath

<p>How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms addresses <br> a little-known but critical flaw in America's system of justice. Average <br> citizens and workers who have been injured or wronged through negligence or <br> malfeasance are guaranteed their day in court. In practice however this <br> bedrock legal right is compromised. The problem is a paucity of fair and <br> reasonable funding for expenses incurred in the bringing of personal-injury <br> and other lawsuits. Writing for trial attorneys who represent middle-class or <br> even indigent clients author and finance expert Michael J. Swanson outlines <br> this complex problem in a clear and lucid book that every dedicated trial <br> lawyer should own. By temperament training and the long traditions of their <br> profession contingent-fee lawyers often fail to maximize the business needs <br> of their practices says Swanson They especially fail to understand and <br> control the cost of their capital structure.</p>
