Pre-Settlement Funding
Pre-settlement Funding allows plaintiffs financial stability while awaiting a personal injury or other legal case. The process consists of contacting your attorney to obtain all documentation related to the case and have it reviewed for a potential funding. Please note all documentation is kept confidential during the entire process. Typical reviewing can take anywhere from 24-48 hours depending on the cooperation from the firm and you the client. Once approved a check or bank wire is sent the same day. You are not required to re-pay until your case settles in court.
