Don’t Let Your Case Have a Fiduciary Void.
I've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with extraordinary trial attorneys on seven and eight-figure cases. I know that for you, a settlement is a victory. It's what you've worked years to achieve.
But I'm here to tell you that the "easy" way of handling settlements comes with a hidden cost—a potential professional liability that can haunt your firm long after the check is cashed.
This isn't an attack on relationships with a settlement broker. This is about the “way we’ve always done it.”
A broker is a salesperson for an insurance company. Their primary obligation is to their company and their commission, not to your client.
When you rely on a broker, you are creating a fiduciary void, exposing your client to a model that is inherently transactional, not protective.
The injustice isn't just to your client. It's for yourself and the legacy you've built.
I Challenge You to Consider the Only Safe Alternative.
