Jones Act Loans -
Attorney Loans to Clients

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 never obtain a settlement or if there is no recovery, you will not be required to pay back the loan. These client loans are to help Jones Act clients make ends meet during the time we are working on your case.

Understand that we lend money to help make ends meet along the way. We don't lend money to improve your lifestyle or financial situation above what it was before you were injured. We don't loan money for personal investments, entertainment, or to help your relatives or other such matters. Client Loans are simply to help you with food, shelter, clothing and other 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.

We have achieved the highest possible credit rating and our legal ability rating with Martindale Hubbell (the premier lawyer rating service in the world)is 'AV' , indicating highest possible marks for our credit and that we are pre-imminent in our legal field.

We can't guarantee anyone a loan before establishing an attorney-client relationship, and we would never offer money to someone to entice them to become our client. It is our strict 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 States that forbid Attorney Loans. The following States do not allow attorney loans: Florida, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California. However, laws change, so be sure to check with us to find out if we can loan money to you in your home State.
