Trial Reviews How David Beats Goliath®

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

How David Beats Goliath – Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms was reviewed in the June 2012 publication of Trial.  Reviewer Douglass F. Noland gave a very thorough, detailed and fair review of the book.  Here are a few brief excerpts:

“Author Michael Swanson’s How David Beats Goliath is a must-read for any lawyer who works on contingent-fee cases.”

“Swanson explains, in a straightforward way, how to maintain your firm’s cash flow and how to level the playing field against your opponents.”

“If Swanson’s strategy is applied faithfully, lawyers may lessen their worries about financing their cases, so they can concentrate more on the cases themselves.”

Advocate Reviews How David Beats Goliath®

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

How David Beats Goliath – Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms was reviewed in the April 2012 publication of the Advocate.  Reviewer Jeffrey Isaac Ehrlich gave a very thorough, detailed and fair review of the book.  Here are a few brief excerpts:

“Swanson generally runs through every possible funding source available to the owner of a contingent-fee firm, and shows why it does not work very well for the lawyer over time.”

“…Swanson’s goal appears to simply heighten lawyers’ financial awareness and acumen, so they can make better choices.”

“…it’s a fast read, and its value is in helping lawyers think about the financial challenges they face, instead of just blindly doing what they have been doing.”

How David Beats Goliath® Reviewed by the Washington Association for Justice

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

How David Beats Goliath – Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms was reviewed in the March 2012 Trial News publication of the Washington Association for Justice.  Reviewer Morris H. Rosenberg gave a very thorough, detailed and fair review of the book.  Here are two brief excerpts:

“[The] book is a short, easy read and contains information that was not part of the curriculum when I went to law school in the late 60’s and likely is not taught today either.”

“Perhaps the best reason to buy the book is that all profits from the sale of How David Beats Goliath® will be donated to the American Association for Justice (AAJ) 7th Amendment Fund which provides AAJ with resources to continue its fight to protect the civil justice system and Americans’ right to a trial by jury.”

New Fundraiser for American Assoication for Justice

Friday, September 16th, 2011

As seen on Reuters, Yahoo Finance and Market Watch and other media outlets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

How David Beats Goliath

A Fundraiser for the American Association for Justice’s Seventh Amendment Fund

Michael J. Swanson, author of How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent –Fee Law Firms, has initiated a fundraiser for the American Association for Justice’s Seventh Amendment Fund.

The fundraiser will begin on Wednesday, September 14 and end Wednesday, September 28. For every new “like” on the How David Beats Goliath Facebook Page a dollar will be donated to this AAJ fund. Contributions to this fund help provide the resources needed to protect the civil justice system and every American’s right to a trial by jury. *Mr. Swanson has also generously committed to donate all profits from sales of the book to this worthy cause.

Industry veteran Michael J. Swanson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Advocate Capital, Inc., has written a definitive, common-sense book that explains how contingent-fee law firm funding works, who provides it, what it costs, and how law firms can acquire and use it efficiently.

The new book How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent Fee Law Firms addresses a little-known but critical flaw in America’s system of justice. Average citizens who have been injured or wronged through negligence or malfeasance are guaranteed their day in court. In practice, however, this bedrock legal right is often compromised.

More information is available at www.HowDavidBeatsGoliath.com, including a free sample chapter of the book, links to online bookstores and more information about the author, Michael J. Swanson.

*The views expressed in this book are not necessarily representative of the views held by AAJ. Furthermore, the donation of profits from the sales of the books to the Seventh Amendment Fund does not imply that AAJ has endorsed Advocate Capital, Inc. or the book and the views and information contained therein.
