Jones Act Loans - Client Loans
Attorney loans to clients are available at the Ogletree Abbott Law Firm. We never charge interest and the loans are simply repaid from your part of your settlement. If we are unable to reach a settlement or recovery, you are never required to pay back any portion of the loan. These loans are to help Jones Act clients make ends meet during the time we are working on your case. We do not lend money other than to help make ends meet. We do not lend money to improve your financial situation beyond what it was before your injury. We do not loan money for investments, entertainment, helping relatives or other such matters. Loans are to help you with food, shelter, clothing and the necessities of life. We have many clients who need our help and have to limit the total amount of loans we have out at any particular time.
The Ogletree Abbott Law Firm has a great record. We are stable and successful. We have the highest possible credit rating and legal ability rating with Martindale Hubbell, the premier lawyer rating service in the country. We are rated 'AV' by Martindale Hubbell, indicating highest possible marks for our credit and that we are pre-imminent in our field. Check us out online at Martindale.com.
If you have any questions about Jones Act Loans, we invite you to talk to one of our partners. We do not guarantee anyone a loan before establishing an attorney-client relationship. We would never offer money to someone to become our client. It is our policy to make loans to clients after we determine the validity of their claim, which could take a few days.
We do not lend money to clients in any State that does not allow Attorney Loans to clients in that state. To our knowledge, the only State that prohibits attorney loans is Florida, however, laws change, so check with us to determine if we can loan money to you in your State.
