Wrongful imprisonment lawsuits are long and arduous but can be worth a great deal. Exonerees have won up to $25 million as financial compensation for the years and torment they have suffered behind bars. One of our clients, Derrick Hamilton, was awarded $7 million in wrongful imprisonment compensation. He had spent 23 years in jail, convicted of crimes he did not commit. When he was released from prison, he was given just $40 and a bus ticket. It took him years of work before his lawsuit was finally settled. We are proud to have supported Mr. Hamilton with a wrongful imprisonment lawsuit loan. Our funding empowered him to fight for better compensation from the state that stole more than two decades of his life.
