MIRENA UMIZAJ DUMAS
About
I’m Mirena Umizaj Dumas, and my personal journey has been one of profound transformation. At age seventeen, I arrived in the United States from Albania with limited resources, navigating the challenges of a new language and culture. Today, I am the Founder and CEO of Mirena & Company, a nationally recognized firm dedicated to serving thousands of clients.
My mission in business is to demystify financial services and make them accessible and understandable to individuals from all walks of life—injured parties, immigrants, attorneys, athletes, and anyone eager to learn and grow personally and financially. This mission stems from my own experience of overcoming barriers such as language, immigration complexities, and the intricacies of legal and financial systems. It’s the same empowerment I sought for myself and my loved ones that we at Mirena and Company now aim to deliver to others by breaking away from outdated paradigms where financial decisions are left solely in the hands of others. Instead, we invite a collaborative approach, encouraging our clients to learn, participate, and take ownership of their financial journey.
When I founded Mirena & Company in 2013, my vision was to create a unified platform that seamlessly integrates Litigation Finance, Settlement Planning, Law Firm Consulting, Pre-Settlement Funding, and Wealth Management under one umbrella. Over the years, this vision has expanded beyond the legal field, reaching into the sports and entertainment industries. By applying the same principles of integration and customization, we’ve opened new doors for athletes, entertainers, and their advisors, offering solutions that address not only their immediate needs but also their long-term aspirations. This evolution has enabled us to create a holistic approach to financial growth, offering these industries a gateway to strategic wealth management, career longevity, and meaningful legacy building.
My passion for this work is rooted in a deeply personal commitment to service. Before founding Mirena & Company, I worked with UNICEF and American troops to aid genocide victims in Kosovo. Later, I worked with the U.S. Department of Justice, assisting Albanian families with their political asylum cases. These experiences further solidified my dedication to justice and equity, laying the foundation for the principles that guide my work today.
When I started working in Settlement Planning, I was moved by the courage and resilience of individuals navigating life after injury. Sitting with their stories of loss and guiding them toward long-term financial well-being ignited a purpose in me that continues to fuel everything I do. Whether working with plaintiffs or law firms or young athletes, I strive to ensure that financial solutions go beyond numbers—they create pathways to dreams, hope, healing, and stability.
Since Mirena & Company’s inception, we have strategically planned for over 500 million settlement dollars and raised and deployed over $1.5 billion to law firms across the nation, transforming not only their financial structures but also the lives of those they serve. From landmark litigations like the BP Oil Spill and the Route 91 Las Vegas Shooting to ongoing mass tort cases such as Camp LeJeune and Baby Formula, I’ve been honored to play a role in cases that shape lives and drive systemic change.
My dedication to clarity and simplicity is the cornerstone of my work. In an industry often characterized by procedural complexities, I prioritize relationships, listening, and trust. These principles not only set our company apart but allow us to empower law firms to grow, diversify, and thrive in ways they never thought possible.
Today, I call Winter Park, Florida, home, where I live with my loving husband and two children. When I’m not immersed in work, I find joy in yoga, meditation, and spending time in nature. These moments remind me of the interconnectedness of everything we do and inspire me to continue building a future that reflects integrity, purpose, and heart.
