Class Action Settlement Funds

Summary

If a lawyer mishandled settlement funds, it may constitute legal misconduct. Review the loan agreement for due dates and statute of limitations. Contact the Pennsylvania Bar for lawyer non-responsiveness. Pre-settlement loans are typically due upon settlement, but terms can vary. Social Security income is generally protected from creditors. Consult a local attorney for guidance.
