Litigation Financing

The case is won. The settlement is signed. What isn't clear is when you will get paid. RD Legal Funding advances against post-settlement awards, attorney fees, and court-approved judgments so you get paid on your timeline, not the court's.

The Gap Between Legal Victory and Financial Reality

Settlements get reached. Judgments get entered. Fees get earned. Then the waiting begins.

Insurance companies delay. Courts require approval periods. Defendants appeal. Structured payouts stretch over years. The legal system operates on its own schedule, completely indifferent to your financial obligations.

RD Legal was built for exactly this gap. We advance against resolved awards and earned fees so the court's timeline does not become yours.

For Law Firms

A cash flow problem hiding in plain sight

The fee is earned. The case is won. But court approvals, appeals, and structured payouts move on their own schedule. Payroll, rent, and new cases do not. RD Legal advances your earned contingency fees so delayed distributions do not limit what your firm can do next.
For Plaintiffs

Compensation won but still out of reach

Compensation won but still out of reach. Years of litigation. Then a settlement, and more waiting. Structured payouts, court approvals, and appeals can delay your money by months or years after your case is already decided. RD Legal advances a portion of your settlement now. You do not have to wait.
The Root Cause

A system indifferent to your timeline

A system indifferent to your timeline. Defendants and insurance companies have every incentive to delay. The legal system moves on its own schedule. Neither was designed with your financial obligations in mind.

Three Ways We Work With You

The case is resolved. The award, settlement, or fee is established. RD Legal funds against all three. Select the option that fits your situation.
For Attorneys
Attorney Funding

You negotiated the settlement. The fee has been earned. But court approvals, notice periods, appeals, or probate proceedings can delay payment by months, sometimes years. RD Legal advances your earned fees so delays do not become your cash flow problem or limit your next case.

For plaintiff
Plaintiff Funding

You won your case. Whether your award is held up in court approval, an appeal, or a structured payout schedule, RD Legal can advance against your settlement now. You do not have to wait.

25 Years of Specialized Experience
Post-settlement litigation finance is all we do. That focus means we understand contingency fees, probate delays, mass tort distributions, and court approval timelines in a way traditional lenders do not.
Your Legal Position Is the Collateral
We fund based on the strength of your settlement, judgment, or earned fee. Credit history may be reviewed, but it does not determine your eligibility.
We move fast, the legal system does not
The legal system operates on its own schedule. We do not. Funding decisions in days, capital deployed in weeks. When a settlement/judgment window is open or a cash need is immediate, we do not make you wait.
Custom structures for complex situations
Mass tort distributions, structured settlements, probate proceedings, workers' compensation fee arrangements, class action counsel fees. We have financed them all.
