We Understand

You've Already Waited Long Enough.

For survivors of institutional abuse, the legal process can take months — sometimes years — to fully resolve. During that time, bills, medical needs, and basic living expenses don't pause.

Pre-settlement funding gives you financial breathing room while your case is pending. You should never feel pressured to accept a lower settlement because the bills can't wait.

We work directly with your attorney — never around them — and our funding partner has helped thousands of plaintiffs cover essential expenses since 1996.

2

We Coordinate With Your Attorney

Our team works directly with your lawyer to review the details of your case and determine eligibility.

3

Once approved, funds are sent directly to you via check, wire, ACH, or Western Union.

Why Survivors Choose Us

Built for People Fighting for Justice.

Pre-settlement funding is not a traditional loan. It's a non-recourse cash advance — meaning you only repay if your case is successful.

Non-Recourse Funding**

If your case doesn't succeed, you owe nothing. Ever. Our 2x CAP** means you'll never repay more than twice the amount you received.

Confidential Process

Your information is protected. We never sell your data. We coordinate quietly with your attorney. For details, see our Privacy Policy.

No Credit Check

Funding is based on the strength of your case — not your credit score, income, or financial history.

No Monthly Payments

There are no monthly bills, no payment schedules, and no out-of-pocket cost. Repayment happens only from the proceeds of your settlement.

Common Questions

What Survivors Most Often Ask.

Straightforward answers. No pressure. No obligation.

Yes. We work directly with your attorney throughout the entire process. Your lawyer remains in full control of your case, and we coordinate all funding details with their office. We never go around your legal team.
Yes. Your information is protected — we never sell your data. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and treat every plaintiff's information with the highest level of discretion. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
No. Pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, which means it is not a traditional loan. Repayment is strictly contingent on the successful resolution of your case. If your case is unsuccessful, no repayment is required. Our 2x CAP** guarantees you will never repay more than twice the amount you received.
If your case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing. That's the core of non-recourse funding — the risk stays with us, not you. Repayment only happens from the proceeds of a settlement or verdict.
No. Pre-settlement funding does not affect the value of your case or what your attorney negotiates on your behalf. The funding is repaid from the settlement proceeds at the end — your attorney still works to secure the best possible outcome.
Funding amounts are determined based on the strength and expected value of your case.* Your attorney will help us evaluate what amount is appropriate for your situation. There are no restrictions on how the funds are used — they can cover rent, medical expenses, groceries, or anything else you need.
Most approved applicants receive funding within 24 business-day hours after we receive a fully-executed contract.* Funds can be sent via check, wire transfer, ACH, or Western Union.
