About this listen
How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms addresses a little-known but critical flaw in America’s system of justice.
Average citizens and workers who have been injured or wronged through negligence or malfeasance are guaranteed their day in court. In practice, however, this bedrock legal right is compromised. The problem is a paucity of fair and reasonable funding for expenses incurred in the bringing of personal injury and other lawsuits.
Designed for trial attorneys who represent the middle class or even indigent clients, author and finance expert Michael J. Swanson outlines this complex problem in a clear and lucid book that every dedicated trial lawyer should own.
“By temperament, training, and the long traditions of their profession, contingent-fee lawyers often fail to maximize the business needs of their practices,” says Swanson. “They especially fail to understand and control the cost of their capital structure.”

Story
Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

Story
There are many investment vehicles in society today, but the most popular of them is real estate. Perhaps this is because it involves providing people with a basic need and shelter, and since everyone is looking for an affordable place to live, the demand is high - thus leading the prices to be sky high, which also means that the business is quite lucrative to the investor. Because of this, society is convinced that you are yet to invest until you have invested in real estate.
