I am pleased to announce that I have begun an affiliation as a Sales Broker and Financial Consultant with the Sales Department of Attorney Disbursement Funds (ADF | adffunds.com). I am excited about educating personal injury attorneys – both in New York State and beyond – about the cash flow freedom which ADF offers to their clients. ADF is a leading provider of case disbursement funding to law firms. Many leading law firms have recognized that disbursements paid by a firm serve as interest free loans to their clients, causing a loss of income to that firm. After establishing an ADF Case Disbursement Line of Credit, these firms no longer deal with cash flow issues because they have access to all the money they need to fund their disbursements. Unlike pre-settlement funding companies which give cash for specific law cases, ADF rates are more in line with commercial rates rather than high monthly compounding fees. Call me anytime at 917-687-8120 to schedule an online presentation and to apply for an ADF Case Disbursement Line of Credit.
Please note that a number of the IAS Parts in New York County Supreme Court are encouraging counsel to participate in the Court’s Electronic Filing System. Justices Richter, Lehner, Smith, James, Kornreich and Sklar have joined the Justices of the Commercial Part in encouraging electronic filing. Details of the program can be found at the Court’s web site at https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/mainframe.html. Please note that the Court is also conducting "how-to" trianing classes for how to participate in the program. You can call the Court at 646-386-3033 to arrange a training class.
The New York State Office of Court Administration has updated its Attorney Search page. New search result features include the law school the particular attorney graduated from as well as the year admitted to practice in New York. Click here to access the site.
If so, contact Gail Johnson at the NYC Civil Court at 212-374-8175. The next training program, scheduled for Jan. 15, 2004 ( 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.) at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, prepares and certifies attorneys to become pro-bono arbitrators in the Small Claims Parts of the New York City Civil Court in all five boroughs. Participants must have a minimum of five years admitted to the New York Bar in order to be eligible.
Starting Jan. 1, 2004, the Small Claims Parts now hear claims for up to $5,000.
