Mark's Involvement in my Case Increased my Recovery

My involvement with Lawsuit Financial and Mark Bello started after I began pursuing my malpractice case. Mark listened to me, liasoned with my attorneys, gave me great advice, and provided the financial resources I needed to continue to fight for a just outcome. The strength of the team of my attor...neys and Lawsuit Financial enabled me to vigorously pursue my case and bring it to a successful conclusion.

I highly recommend this attorney

Mark and his company, Lawsuit Financial, provided legal finance services for me about a year ago. Mark provided expert advice on the legal funding process. As a result of this advice, he single handedly saved my home and increased my settlement results by over 200%! Mark and Lawsuit Financial rece...ive my strongest endorsement.

Financial markets and services lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mark is the most respected member of the legal finance community that I know of. His group, Lawsuit Financial, operates under the highest of ethical standards. In an industry wrought with shady operators, you can sleep easy knowing you're working with Mark. Lawsuit Financial provides a critical service to individuals by providing them with needed financial resources to see them through the conclusion of their case. Do NOT call one of those firms you see on TV. Many will charge an arm and a leg, and in the event you prevail, they will take an unusually large amount of your verdict or settlement. Mark will not. While he is must structure things to make a reasonable profit, it is just that, reasonable. And for the service he provides, it is one well worth the modest cost. Most importantly, keep in mind that you do not pay Mark unless you win your case. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Oh yeah, he's a great guy as well."

Litigation lawyer | Jul 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Mark for a number of years now through the Michigan Association for Justice. When I have clients that need litigation funding Mark is an excellent choice. He makes it easy. His staff is professional and courteous and they are very reasonable at the end of the case. Litigation funding isn't for all my clients, but for those large cases where the family is facing months and/or years of litigation, where the family can't afford to wait till trial so that my office can try to maximize their recovery, where the insurance company is essentially starving them out by delaying and hoping they will become so financially desparate that they will accept a low-ball offer - this is where Mark's company really shines. He is a true professional and one of the only litigation company's that I will refer a client to."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
