Larger Lawsuit Cash Advances

Approving a million dollar lawsuit cash advance can be very hard for some lawsuit funding companies. The majority of approvals from major legal financing institutions range from $1,000 to $10,000. At LawLeaf we find that while many of our clients fall into the smaller loan sizes, we also have a fairly large base of clients seeking lawsuit cash advances in excess of $100,000 or more. When LawLeaf receives a 6, 7 or 8 figure lawsuit cash advance request, the request will be in great hands. LawLeaf’s reputation is based solely on our ability to provide fast services, competitive rates with the ability to provide funding with no cap.

Over the last year, LawLeaf has been involved in transactions ranging from $500,000 to $6,000,000.

How much money is your case worth?

In order to qualify for a large lawsuit cash advance you must have a good case with clear liability. We offer financing to plaintiffs that have personal injury claims and commercial litigation lawsuits. We can provide pre settlement funding and post settlement funding for all types of personal injury cases. We can also provide pre settlement and post settlement funding for most commercial & consumer cases, however, if you are requesting an amount of two million dollars or less, we prefer the case be near a settlement or a settlement or judgment has been awarded.

How long does it take to get a lawsuit cash advance?

There are several factors that determine the quickness of the advance:

Personal injury cases: We will require documentation on your case. If we receive the documentation from your attorney’s office in a timely manner, we can turnaround an advance in less than 24 hours. We just need the appropriate documentation and access to your attorney if we have questions. If the case is settled we will need the settlement offer. Settled cases generally can be funded within 24 hours.

Commercial & consumer litigation cases: We will require documentation on your case. If we receive the documentation from your attorney’s office in a timely manner, we can generally turnaround an advance in less than a week. Because of the complexity of commercial and consumer cases and the shortage of commercial & consumer underwriters, the turnaround time is generally longer than a personal injury case.

$2 million +: If you are requesting funding on a commercial or consumer case of $2 million dollars or more the process can take several weeks. We have been successful in securing lawsuit cash advances in excess of $2 million or more. We have a strict process in place that includes an interview with the client and/or attorney, preparing an executive brief overview and submitting the package out. The executive brief is an extremely important step in the process and can take several days to complete. Once the package is submitted there is a three tier process that takes place on the back-end. The initial underwriter will evaluate the case and determine whether the case is a fit. Once approved by the underwriter the file goes to the second tier where additional underwriters and managing directors will evaluate the case. If it gets approved in the second layer of the process it will go in front of a board for a final approval.

If you are considering litigation financing for a larger claim, we have the expertise in handling and getting applicants approved. For additional information on our top tier services, contact LawLeaf today.

Secured Institutional Funds for Litigation Financing

LawLeaf is considering all cases for funding. Whether you are searching for a lawsuit cash advance for a personal injury lawsuit or need to borrow money against a commercial litigation claim, we can help. If you are a plaintiff and have a pending lawsuit or have recently won a judgment or settlement, LawLeaf wants to work with you. LawLeaf has the financial backing of providing no minimums or maximums. We have a diversified portfolio of cases we can fund and we don’t have requirements on the amount of money you can receive.

LawLeaf announces major funding sources

LawLeaf is excited to announce we have secured several institutional funds for plaintiffs and attorneys looking to secure upwards of $500K+ for a single case. In fact, LawLeaf can secure millions of dollars of financing for a single pending or already settled personal injury and commercial litigation claim. This news is significant because LawLeaf is one of the few companies that has access to these types of funds.

Plaintiff funding for commercial cases

Over the last several years commercial litigation financing has taken a back seat to personal injury funding. There is a lack of funds available for commercial claims due to complex litigation processes and the inability to keep money out on these types of cases. While most lawsuit funding companies will consider personal injury funding on a smaller scale, only a select few have the ability or experience in advancing against commercial lawsuits. LawLeaf has the ability and experience of funding commercial lawsuits. We have the financial backing through our institutional funds to advance on most commercial litigation claims regardless of size. Whether you are searching for a few thousand or need millions, LawLeaf can help.

Some of the cases we are entertaining include but not limited to:

Commercial litigation financing for attorneys

If you are a commercial litigation attorney and have been searching for a funding source to help you litigate your case load, you probably already know funding is not readily available. Several years ago there were a handful of companies willing to entertain attorney financing; today the litigation financing environment for lawyers is almost obsolete. Due to a demand for financing, LawLeaf has made great efforts in locating financing for attorneys. We have partnered with large institutional funds that have the ability to provide millions of dollars to attorneys.

A fund may determine an approval for attorney financing based upon the following:

  • Types of cases
  • How far along are the cases?
  • Do you have any cases that are settled or has a judgment been awarded?
  • If you have reached a settlement or judgment, how long will it take to receive your fees?
  • Do you have any cases that are going through the appeals process?
  • What is the strength of your cases?
  • Reputation of firm
  • Experience in handling said cases

LawLeaf recommends whether you are an attorney or plaintiff, if you are considering commercial financing, contact us immediately. When contacting us please be transparent. If you are working with another company, broker or consultant, please let us know. It is important that your application doesn’t saturate the market as it can have a negative impact between funders. While we believe we have secured institutional funds that most companies don’t have access too, we also know if an application is submitted to the same fund more than once, it can have a negative impact on the approval process.

Unlike a personal injury claim, the underwriting process for a commercial litigation claim is expensive and takes time. If a fund believes you are shopping them for a rate, it is very likely they will pass on the case.

If you are an attorney or plaintiff and searching for funding, contact LawLeaf today.

Patent & Trademark Litigation Financing

Patent & trademark litigation funding continues to play a significant role in the growth of our company. As more lenders are staying away from advancing monies against patent & trademark lawsuits, plaintiffs are now relying on LawLeaf. If you are involved in a patent & trademark lawsuit and searching for pre settlement or post settlement funding, LawLeaf can help. LawLeaf is a leading provider of commercial litigation financing throughout the United States. We have successfully assisted in funding clients that are going through pre trial motions, appeals process or looking for funding on settled cases. We are currently working with clients that are interested in securing commercial litigation funding from $500,000 with no maximum.

The ability to achieve your personal or business goals may be contingent upon securing lawsuit funding. In order to make the right decision you must first find a group that is able to provide commercial litigation financing. Over the last several years, funding companies have elected to remove themselves from financing commercial litigation claims due to the lack of financial backing, expertise and ability to close a deal in a reasonable amount of time. The object of securing patent infringement & trademark financing is no longer finding the right rate, but a financial institution willing to do the transaction.

There is little argument that commercial litigation claims can take years before a settlement is reached or a judgment is awarded. This is not including the possibility of having the case appealed. For smaller funding sources, commercial litigation cases tend to eat up funding streams and leave companies stagnant. In order to successfully fund a patent infringement and/or trademark dispute lawsuit, it will take a fund that has the financial capacity and staying power.

LawLeaf has dedicated its resources to working with institutionalized funds that have the financial capacity to loan millions of dollars on a non recourse basis. Many of our clients find LawLeaf because they have run out of other options. Whether they have been declined by other funding sources and can’t locate a company willing to look at their case.  If you are currently searching for a company that has the financial backing of institutional funds and more importantly the ability to provide advances on patent & trademark lawsuits, contact LawLeaf today.

Charles Schwab Enters Agreement to Settle YieldPlus Fund Lawsuit

If you are currently searching for settlement funding against a financial investment lawsuit, contact LawLeaf today. LawLeaf provides pre settlement and post settlement funding against lawsuits involving fraud, deceit and/or negligence.

In the News:

Charles Schwab announced Tuesday that it has agreed to pay $200 million to resolve a federal class action lawsuit filed by investors for their YieldPlus Fund. Investors alleged that the broker mislead them over the safety of the mortgage-backed securities. Charles Schwab YieldPlus Fund invested in securities backed by mortgages.

According to the terms of the proposed settlement, Charles Schwab has agreed to pay $200 million however, they will not admit liability.

The complaint alleges that Charles Schwab’s investment advisers, officers, directors and underwriters issued untrue statements regarding diversification of the YieldPlus Funds. The complaint outlines that the funds registration and prospectuses included untrue and misleading statements and omitted information about the investments.

Although the U.S. District Court in California will decide if Schwab can avoid trial with the settlement offer, the fund could still be investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As the economy continues to spiral downward millions of families have been negatively affected by fraudulent and deceitful financial practices by dozens of financial and brokerage firms. As a result, many Americans have lost their life savings and retirement.

Investment companies, brokerage firms, institutional banks, hedge funds, advisers and other financial professionals can be subject to hefty fines and the likelihood of compensating investors through solo and class action lawsuits. Due to the length of time it takes for these types of cases to settle, some are forced to borrow against future proceeds. At LawLeaf we can help you acquire lawsuit funding for pending or already settled cases. Whether you are waiting for a settlement or you have recently won a judgment, we can assist you.

If you are currently searching for a lawsuit cash advance against your lawsuit, contact LawLeaf today. LawLeaf provides pre settlement funding and post settlement funding for financial litigation claims. If you are searching for a lawsuit loan and searching for those companies that can provide it as non recourse, contact LawLeaf today.

Settlement Funding for a Lawsuit

If you are searching for settlement funding for a lawsuit that has recently settled or currently pending, contact LawLeaf today by applying online or calling us toll free. LawLeaf is leading provider of lawsuit settlement loans provides settlement funding to plaintiffs that have the legal representation of an attorney. Settlement funding is a term that is used when describing a lawsuit cash advance against a personal injury or commercial litigation claim. We currently work with clients throughout the United States and Canada that are in dire need of money to help pay for bills while waiting for compensation.

In the News:

LawLeaf is proud to announce the development of our new settlement center. The settlement center will be dedicated to providing information and assistance to those plaintiffs that have recently reached a lawsuit settlement but can’t wait until proceeds are paid. Over the last several years, LawLeaf has seen an increase in applicants requesting post settlement funding; loans against settled lawsuits. These clients oftentimes call LawLeaf because they have an immediate financial obligation that can’t wait. While LawLeaf strives to offer the most competitive rates for pre settlement funding, post settlement funding typically offers lower rates than advances against pending lawsuits. The reason is risk. When providing pre settlement funding there is a risk the underwriter won’t get paid back if the case is lost.

The increase in settlement funding for recently settled lawsuits is an indication that insurance companies are in no hurry to pay for recently settled cases or judgments. If you are searching for commercial litigation funding chances are the defense will also delay payment for as long as they can. While the courts will mandate a time in which proceeds need to be paid, oftentimes it can take months before compensation is received.

Most people that are going through the legal processes of obtaining fair compensation for their lawsuit are unaware that it can take weeks or even months to receive compensation after a settlement. In fact, the majority of the plaintiffs currently going through the legal processes of a personal injury or commercial litigation claim believe compensation should be paid within days of winning their case. Lawsuit settlement funding can help you until compensation is paid.

If you are currently searching for a settlement funding company that can provide you an advance against your lawsuit, begin by applying online with LawLeaf.

Please note: LawLeaf can obtain settlement funding for most settled cases within 24 hours of receiving the settlement letter/offer. We have also been successful in obtaining pre settlement funding for our clients within the same time frame.

Fund Lawsuit

Are you looking for a company that can fund your lawsuit while its going through the litigation process? If you are looking to get a lawsuit funded and searching for a company that will offer you a great rate and minimize the time for an approval, begin by applying with LawLeaf.

Getting funds out of a lawsuit can be a tedious and stressful process for most people. When you begin evaluating companies that fund lawsuits you will need to evaluate those companies that provide funding for your type of case. There are a lot of companies that can fund lawsuits however there are few that can provide funding for a wide variety of claims. If you have been involved in a personal injury you are likely to find a wide variety of companies that can provide funding against your claim however not all will fund all personal injury related cases. You have some companies that will look at just a few types of personal injury related claims while others will only look at those cases where catastrophic injury exists. If you have been involved in a personal injury which resulted in soft tissue you may have a hard time finding any company willing to look at your claim.

Commercial litigation disputes can be even harder to find funds. In fact, most companies will not provide commercial litigation funds because they don’t have the resources or money to fund these types of cases. These types of cases generally take longer to settle hence companies aren’t willing to look at these types of cases.

At LawLeaf we look at personal injury and commercial litigation disputes. We provide more options for those individuals that are searching to get funds against a pending or already settled claim. If you are currently searching for a company that can fund your lawsuit, begin by applying with LawLeaf today.

Seeing Increases in Legal Funding

LawLeaf reports a steady increase in the number of plaintiffs applying for lawsuit funding. The increase reflects a comparison between 2nd & 3rd quarter numbers. The company believes the steady increase in applications has much to do with a slow down in the economy and our ability to secure competitive rates and faster approvals.

The company has seen around a 25% increase in pre settlement, post settlement and structured settlement advances. During the third quarter LawLeaf released a structured settlement cash site which provides information to potential sellers of future annuity payments through their structured settlement.

3rd quarter increases in personal injury funding types include:

3rd quarter increases for commercial litigation claims include:

The company believes with the holiday season nearing the 4th quarter could potentially be much larger than the past 3 quarters. If you are currently evaluating legal funding begin by contacting LawLeaf today. We stand ready to assist you.

Increase in Lawsuit Funding Approvals with LawLeaf

LawLeaf announces today a significant increase in the amount of lawsuit funding approvals over the last month. The pre settlement and structured settlement divisions of the company reported a significant increase in the amount of approvals for the month of August. The company believes the approval rate is increasing due to a large volume of better cases coming into LawLeaf on a daily basis which can be attributed to more attorneys recommending their clients to the LawLeaf service.

Over the last several months LawLeaf has also seen a major increase in the amount of applications. As the end of the year nears the company believes these numbers will more than double due to the holiday season. “The litigation financing industry is much slower during the summer months and as the end of the year nears and more people need money during the holiday season, we believe there will be a major increase in applications and client approvals,” said Mr. Esposito, LawLeaf Director.

LawLeaf continues to strive to provide our clients with the best services available within the legal finance industry. We are always committed to providing our clients with some of the most competitive rates within the industry. The ability to provide our clients with competitive rates and very fast turnaround is just another reason why LawLeaf is being recommended by past clients, paralegals and attorneys throughout the United States.
