Covid-19 is still a part of our lives; however, we are hearing from our clients that things are starting to get back on track. For the most part, courts are open again, and trials are getting scheduled and heard. It has been a long and hard road, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Our Advocate Capital team had a unique view of the pandemic. We worked with our nationwide firms to see what they were dealing with and how Covid-19 affected them personally and professionally. Some of our clients restructured their practice to add additional cases as most of their existing case models were not moving. Others took advantage of the “downtime” to prepare for their upcoming trials.
Our client, Victoria Wickman, of the Law Office of Victoria Wickman, in New York City, stated the following:
“I cannot thank Advocate Capital enough. This pandemic brought our cases to a screeching halt. While cases are not settling and income is not coming in, your case funding has allowed me to continue working on my cases, getting expert opinions, taking depositions, and preparing my cases for the time when trials open back up so I can hopefully finally reap the fruit of our labor. This all would not be possible without the funding provided by Advocate Capital. It is as simple as that.”
Our nation and court system had never experienced anything like the Covid-19 Pandemic before. We understand that it costs so much for our clients and neighbors. In some cases, it cost them everything they had, including their lives. We are so thankful to our team and banking partner that allowed Advocate Captial to stand firm with our plaintiff clients while they stood strong for their team and clients.
Our client, Marc JD Ellis of the Ellis Law Firm, of Huntington Beach, CA, stated the following:
“The pandemic has significantly altered the legal landscape in the field of personal injury law. Driving has decreased considerably while the court system has become backlogged, with cases being set for trial 2-years from the date of filing. This has led to fewer new clients and tremendously frustrated those with existing cases. Aware of these factors, the insurance industry has exponentially increased their standardized practice of delay, stall, hinder, then low-ball banking on the attrition of Plaintiffs and their lawyers. Advocate Capital is a guardian in our most challenging time and has permitted us to continue to fight, without fear of expense, for just and fair results for our clients.
Advocate Capital has provided confidence and support, which allowed this firm to thrive during the darkest days of the pandemic. We are honored to collaborate with such an exceptional entity and look forward to many more years of success.”
Advocate Capital, Inc. is thankful that the screeching halt of the Covid-19 pandemic appears to be wavering. We are honored to work with our great clients, like Victoria Wickman, of the Law Office of Victoria Wickman and Marc JD Ellis of the Ellis Law Firm, and support their great work, in and out of the court.
