Post-settlement funding in Louisiana
Both plaintiffs and attorneys can also apply for post-settlement funding in the Pelican State. Unlike other funding offers in the state, Baker Street Funding offers up to 50% of the awarded settlement. Our post-settlement loans are thoughtfully designed to keep both plaintiffs and attorneys afloat while they await the full payment of the award.
Post-settlement funding for attorneys:
Attorneys who are hired on contingency are faced with unique challenges. They don’t get paid until the case settles, and the plaintiff has received a settlement from the case. Rather than putting their practice on hold and letting other expenses accumulate, attorneys can apply for law firm legal financing until your fees are received.
