Welcome to episode 335 of Grow Your Law Firm , hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Rachel McCarthy, Executive Director of The Milestone Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides low-cost pre-settlement and post-settlement funding to plaintiffs across the country. Rachel shares how the Foundation was created to offer an alternative to high-interest funding models and help injured individuals navigate financial hardship while pursuing their legal cases. The conversation focuses on the role plaintiff funding plays in access to justice and how the right funding structure can benefit both plaintiffs and attorneys. Rachel explains how the nonprofit model works, why the Foundation offers simple interest rates significantly below many traditional providers, and how funding can help plaintiffs avoid settling cases prematurely due to financial pressure. She also discusses the importance of attorney involvement in the process and why firms should evaluate funding options carefully when guiding clients.
