NO CREDIT CHECKS - NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS

A simple inquiry to obtain and review a credit profile will actually lower the applicant’s credit score which is a “numerical fiction” designed to protect lenders from allegations of discriminatory practices. Moreover, a revolving transaction will also lower the applicant’s debt-to-income ratio making it even more difficult to obtain future credit. Factors which influence a credit score bear little relevance to the ability to repay or the integrity of the applicant. Because we do not require monthly payments, an applicant’s prior history is not relevant to Lawyers Funding Group. Rather, we are underwriting a future liquidity event which triggers repayment at a time when the lawyer will have adequate funds. When you have interrupted cash flow the last obligation you need is another monthly payment. Our fees are reasonable but slightly higher because of the additional cost we incur on your behalf for debt service and the risk of an increasing rather than a decreasing balance. We always seek to maintain recourse, however, in the event we are timely notified the receivable will not be paid LFG will attempt to substitute another acceptable collateral with a partial payment. LFG will obtain a public records search which provides an abstract of prior UCC filings, tax liens, judgments or bankruptcies. None of these situations by itself would serve as a basis for rejection as each of these situations provide unique follow up.

UCC SALE - ASSIGNMENT

The funding Agreement provides that Lawyers Funding Group has Purchased and you have Sold in full a particular Account Receivable. In most cases we will file a UCC lien identifying the specific receivable or receivables assigned as collateral. The description thereafter defaults to general unidentified receivables should the liquidity event not occur and the receivable will not be recovered. The filing with the Department of State of the attorney’s residence does not include amounts advanced or due and may not be filed for a portion of an identified receivable. Once you case is resolved and your fee is paid, there is a right to Repurchase and Redeem the Account Receivable by paying the Advance Amount plus all accrued fees. In the event of an intentional default. Lawyers Funding Group has successfully advanced its legal position that its collateral has been Converted from the Attorney Trust Account giving rise to damages for LFG to seek judgment for the entire amount of the receivable assigned.

COMPARE

Some of our competitors purport to offer a lower monthly rate with a "closing fee" as high as twenty (20%) percent and accrue further fees based upon this portion of money which was never received. In addition, you may be required to authorize automatic ACH payments so that you are not in control of your future cash flow. In the event the ACH does not process for insufficient funds, the funding rate substantially increases and the Funder has the option to require the entire advance be repaid.

Other pricing models include lower monthly or quarterly compounded fees, however, they are often billed in quarterly ninety (90) day cycles such that your total cost is greater regardless of whether you remit payment upon receipt of your legal fee or wait until the end of the current cycle.

Other companies which provide general lines of credit with monthly payments have call options after one year. We will never expect repayment so long as you are not in Default and you have not resolved the case for which your fee has been assigned.
