What Does Your Attorney Do?

Your attorney plays a critical role in the pre-settlement funding process. They review the funding agreement, confirm case details with our underwriting team, and co-sign the agreement. At settlement, your attorney's office repays the advance directly from your settlement proceeds — you never have to handle the repayment yourself.

Reviews Agreement

Your attorney reviews all terms before you sign anything.

Confirms Case Details

Attorney provides case info to our underwriting team.

Handles Repayment

Repayment comes from your settlement — attorney manages it.

Is Pre-Settlement Funding Right for You?

Good fit if you:

  • Have an active personal injury lawsuit
  • Are represented by an attorney
  • Are experiencing financial hardship
  • Want to avoid an early, low settlement
  • Need funds for medical care or living expenses
  • Have no other source of emergency funding

May not be right if you:

  • Do not have an active lawsuit
  • Are not represented by an attorney
  • Have other affordable financing options
  • Are in the very early stages of a weak case
  • Are willing and able to wait for settlement
  • Have a case with minimal liability
