Planning Past the Payout: Financial Wisdom After an Injury Case with Michael Saile and Scott Edelman | The Injury Pros Podcast
Episode 25 | About This Episode
When a personal injury case settles, most clients breathe a sigh of relief – but what comes next is just as critical. In this episode of The Injury Pros, host Michael Saile welcomes Scott Edelman, 30 year industry veteran and President of Edelman Wealth Management, to discuss how to create a financial plan that goes beyond the payout.
