Plaintiffs - How to Apply for Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Financing
  1. Discuss your need for a pre-settlement cash advance with your attorney. The cooperation of your attorney is needed in order for you to obtain a pre-settlement cash advance.  We cannot help you unless your attorney will support your request for a pre-settlement cash advance on your pending lawsuit.


  2. Contact us at Chestnut Hill Funding using one of the methods on the contact us page.


  3. We will work with you over the phone to do a preliminary screening of your lawsuit.


  4. If it appears to us your lawsuit may qualify for pre-settlement funding, we will ask you to provide more detailed information about the circumstances surrounding your lawsuit. This information is entered into a form that will become part of the document package used in the detailed evaluation of your lawsuit.


  5. The next step is for you to authorize your attorney to release to us the documents for your lawsuit. We will FAX a client authorization form to you that you will sign and FAX back to us. 


  6. We will then FAX your signed authorization form to your attorney and request that the documents for your case be FAX'ed to us. We will work your attorney until the documents for your case are released to us. You can also assist in this process by letting your attorney know that you have authorized the release of documents for your case, and that you would appreciate it if they make the documents available to us as quickly as possible.


  7. We will then prepare a package containing all the information for your case. This package will then be evaluated to determine if your lawsuit qualifies for pre-settlement funding.


  8. If your lawsuit is approved for funding, you will be presented with a proposal specifying how much can be advanced and what the fees for the advanced funds will be. You should review this proposal with your attorney.


  9. If after review you decide to accept the proposal, you will be asked to sign and notarize an agreement and your attorney will sign the agreement too.


  10. After your signed agreement has been received you will be sent a check within 3 days for the advanced amount.
