About Michael J. Swanson

2000-2022, Mr. Swanson served as Chief Executive Officer, a member of the Credit Committee, and a Member of the Board of Directors of Advocate Capital, Inc. He also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Swanson retired on March 4, 2022. Mr. Swanson is the author of How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms. This book is a definitive, common-sense read 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.

* In most jurisdictions, a law firm can recover finance charges related to funding case expenses from case awards, but the compliance requirements can be too expensive to implement. Only Advocate Capital, Inc. has the proprietary AdvoTrac^® expense tracking system and service team that allows firms to easily comply with allocation and reporting requirements. So, for example, if a firm recovers at least 90% of its advanced case expenses, like most of our clients, the annual net cost of funds is very small-typically less than 1%.
