Meet The Advisory Council

The Milestone Foundation’s Advisory Council brings together distinguished plaintiff attorneys, litigation finance professionals, and a clinical psychologist to help shape the future of fair consumer litigation funding. Their diverse expertise provides strategic guidance as we expand our impact, strengthen access to justice, and advance our mission of putting plaintiffs first. Together, they are helping lead the Foundation into its next decade of serving individuals facing financial hardship during litigation.
