Our clients frequently tell us that because they were able to get immediate cash against their lawsuit, their attorney actually was able to achieve a higher settlement than they would have in the absence of the lawsuit loan. In most civil claims, the defendant (normally an insurance company) wants the plaintiff to settle quickly. This is because a fast settlement typically means that they expend less resources, and get away with a lower settlement. If financial stress is causing your attorney to consider taking a lower settlement offer for your case, a pre-settlement cash advance may be the perfect solution to buy them time to keep applying pressure, and ultimately achieve a higher payout.
