Are you anticipating a large legal settlement and feeling uneasy and confused?

For nearly three decades, we’ve worked as financial advisors who received their sudden wealth through a lawsuit or settlement. Although each situation is different, what is common to nearly all of them is that they or someone close to them were harmed. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is handling the “emotional rollercoaster.” Part of the frustration is the often slow legal system and the seemingly invasive procedures necessary to get a successful verdict. Below the surface for many clients is the pain they have experienced while fighting for justice.

More than financial advice - get help on the emotional rollercoaster of obtaining a settlement

Working with clients who have received a lawsuit judgment or settlement has been humbling. Often they are the underdog—fighting for what is right and taking on seemingly impossible odds. And when justice does prevail, many view their “win” as bittersweet. Their “windfall” is not because they won the lottery or have sold their company, it is compensation for an injury, for pain, or from a loss they endured. And sometimes the wrong can never be made right even if they “win” or regardless of the amount of money they receive from the settlement.
