Litigation loans and case funding look like a lifeline when you're carrying big contingency cases. For most small firms, they're the opposite.

On the latest episode of It's Not Fair, Justin Peterson and Masten Childers explain why debt is a bad business model for contingency work — how the money that feels free on the way in quietly costs you leverage, margin, and control by the time the case resolves.

If you run a plaintiff practice, this is worth a few minutes before you sign the next funding agreement.

Happy Birthday to Elizabeth Wix! 🎂

Elizabeth is one of those people who makes you forget she hasn’t been doing this for decades — she carries herself with a poise and competence well beyond her years. As a valued paralegal on our team, employed through Whiteford, she’s become someone this whole office leans on. Dependable, sharp, and always a step ahead, Elizabeth is simply an asset we couldn’t do without.

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth — we’re so grateful for everything you do! 🎉

Happy Birthday to Adam W. Havens! 🎂

When a case comes through our doors, Adam is often the one who decides whether we take it on — and that’s a responsibility we trust to very few. One of the most experienced attorneys on our team, Adam has the judgment that only comes from years in the fight, and it shapes everything we do for our clients. A Whiteford attorney and a huge part of the Peterson Law team, he’s exactly the kind of steady, seasoned presence a firm is lucky to have.

Happy Birthday, Adam — here’s to a great end to the year! 🎉

Every plaintiff lawyer knows the feeling: the phone rings, and it's THE case. Catastrophic injury. Clear liability. The one that could change your practice.

What nobody tells you is that the same case can break your firm — drain your operating account, eat two years of your time, and leave you settling for a fraction of its value because you ran out of runway before the defense did.

In Episode 5 of It's Not Fair, Justin Peterson and Masten Childers III get honest about the case that looks like a winner on intake and quietly sinks a small firm — and how to know, before you sign, whether you can actually carry it.

If you're a solo or small firm taking on the big one, this one's for you.

The chart, the night nurse's notes, and the discharge summary tell the story. The bill doesn't.

If something went wrong in the hospital, don't start by fighting the bill. Start with the records. We'll help you get them, have them reviewed, and tell you straight whether there's a case.

In Kentucky, most medical malpractice claims have a one-year deadline. Don't spend it arguing with the billing office.

A fall in a nursing home is not automatically a case. A pressure sore is not “just old age.” Understaffing is not a paperwork problem.

If you are the spouse, the child, or the power of attorney, the question is simple: did the facility do the one thing it was paid to do — keep them safe.

Call before you sign the facility’s incident paperwork. (859) 469-6390
