Michigan Pre-Settlement Funding

Non-recourse legal funding guidance for represented plaintiffs in Michigan.

A pending legal claim can create financial pressure long before it resolves. Rockpoint helps eligible represented plaintiffs in Michigan explore funding based primarily on the claim, with written terms to review before making a decision.

Quick answer

What is pre-settlement funding in Michigan?

Pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse advance tied to the potential recovery from a represented legal claim. It can provide financial support while a case is pending. There are no monthly payments, and repayment is generally due only from a recovery, subject to the signed agreement and applicable law.

Funding guidance

Financial stability while a represented claim moves forward

Funding may help cover ordinary living expenses while your attorney continues the legal process. Approval, amount, availability, and terms depend on the claim and final underwriting review.

Based primarily on the claim

Review considers liability, damages, documentation, available recovery, case status, and expected timing.

No monthly payments

There are no recurring monthly payments while the claim is pending. Costs and repayment terms appear in the written agreement.

Clear written terms

If approved, review the written offer and discuss it with your attorney before deciding.

Attorney representation

Rockpoint coordinates with your attorney, with your authorization, to obtain the information needed for review.

Eligibility factors

Who may qualify for Michigan lawsuit funding?

  • You have a pending legal claim and are represented by an attorney.
  • Your attorney can provide the case information needed for review.
  • The claim has a potential recovery that can support the requested amount.
  • The request meets location, legal, documentation, and underwriting requirements.

Cost and terms

How to compare settlement funding offers

“Low interest” can be a misleading shortcut because pre-settlement funding is not structured like a traditional installment loan. Compare the written total cost across realistic case timelines.

  1. 01

    Ask for the total payoff at more than one possible case timeline.

  2. 02

    Review how charges accrue and whether any minimum costs apply.

  3. 03

    Confirm that repayment is limited to a recovery under the written agreement.

  4. 04

    Discuss the offer with your attorney before accepting it.
