"When a client assigns rights to the proceeds of a case or tort action to a creditor, those proceeds no longer belong to the client. Accordingly, the attorney is not obligated to pay those funds to his client. Even, if a conflict had existed between the client's interest and the third party assignee's interest, the attorney should have deposited the settlement proceeds in a trust fund account and requested a court to direct the fund's distribution."

“When a company like LawCash funds a value equal to about 10% of the client’s case, the client still has an incentive to cooperate and to be reasonable at pre-trial and settlement stages.”
Gregory T. Cerchione, Esq.
President of the Brooklyn Bar Association.
"I like the organization (LawCash) because it provides access to cash that would otherwise be extremely difficult to obtain from insurance companies, which have always had the upper hand."
