Transitioning from litigation to settlement to post-settlement life is complicated for most of our clients. At the end of a case, the decisions made today will have long-lasting effects on clients, some of who might have immediate financial needs.  As a plaintiff attorney, you hold the key to helping clients be responsible with their recovery funds, increasing your client’s quality of life, and providing long-term financial security. Attend this seminar and walk away better prepared to ensure your client's settlement recovery will last as long as it should!

  • receive a better understanding of state liens and other healthcare liens
  • and know how to deal ethically with clients in a variety of financially difficult situations 
 
Who should attend? Personal injury, med mal, premises liability, workers' compensation, and/or disability attorneys, as well as other legal professionals who would like a better understanding of strategies to plan and protect their clients' settlement recovery.
