Our Customer Reviews
What a wonderful group to work with, they literally had money for me in less than a week, and they are very responsive and personal. I would recommend them any day.
Kat Durnez
Because of COVID-19, my lawsuit got pushed out another 4 months, making it 3.5 years since the accident. I needed another $10k, which UpLift didn't want to provide. Rory got me another $7k to help me get back to work and have a chance of not being evicted while waiting for four more neck and back surgeries.
Joseph Capaldi
This was definitely a program I had never heard of but found out about exactly when I needed it most. They actually saved my case.

Laws and Regulations of Lawsuit Funding in California
In California, the courts recognize legal funding as non-recourse loans, contingent on case outcome (repaid only if the lawsuit is successful). Since this isn’t classified as a regular loan, usury laws do not apply.
Though Senate Bill 581 (Third-party Litigation Financing) proposed regulations governing legal funding, including registration, fee caps, and disclosures in 2023, it stalled by early 2024.
While the sector is mostly unregulated, providers must still adhere to fair business practices under state law. Currently, Assembly Bill 931 is in progress to create regulations that would better protect consumers who use legal funding services

What Can I Use My California Pre-Settlement Funding for?
Tribeca understands that while your case is pending, life still demands groceries, rent, and medical care. Pre-settlement funding provides the breathing room you need without added pressure or risk, not even a credit check.
Our non-recourse funding is unrestricted and yours to use however you need:
- Medical bills
- Property repair
- Rent or mortgage payments
- Daily costs (gas, food, etc.)
- Property damage repair
- Replacing lost wages
Lawsuit loans from Tribeca are designed to help with immediate expenses during lawsuits while your attorney works to secure the best possible settlement.
What Happens If I Lose My Case?
The answer is simple: you owe us nothing. Our lawsuit loans are non-recourse, which means you are not obligated to repay the loan if your case doesn’t result in a settlement.
There’s no damage to your credit score and no out-of-pocket costs. We simply take the haircut so you don’t have to.
Can a Surviving Spouse or Children Apply for Pre-Settlement Legal Funding in California?
Yes, surviving spouses and children, especially in wrongful death cases, may qualify for legal funding. This process generally requires cooperation with the deceased’s attorney and proper estate documentation, but can help heirs cover ongoing expenses during litigation.
