    How Does Legal Finance Work? How Does a Plaintiff Get a Cash Advance?

    Why Legal Finance, or “Pre-Settlement Funding” as it is Commonly Called?

    In most states, attorneys are prohibited from advancing/lending money to their clients (it is a conflict of interest). When you receive a cash advance from us, there is no conflict of interest because our lenders are not involved in the management of your case. All decisions regarding your lawsuit are made by you and your attorney, and a cash advance does not change that arrangement. Apply now.

    How Does a Lawsuit Cash Advance Work?

    First, we do a short application with you over the phone. If you filled out the online application, we will follow up with you by phone to assure you we received it and make sure you understand how a cash advance works. Next, we gather the necessary documents from your attorney so we can determine if you are eligible for a cash advance. Typically we are able to let you know within 24 to 48 hours if you are eligible.

    After you are approved, you receive your cash in hand, usually the same day you accept the offer for the cash advance.

    * There are no credit checks or employment requirements.

    * There are no monthly payments or upfront out-of-pocket fees - you do not pay until your case settles.

    * This cash advance is non-recourse, which means that IF YOUR CASE DOES NOT SETTLE IN YOUR FAVOR, YOU OWE NOTHING.
