Our Story
CSF started because our founder spent nearly a decade as the attorney behind the biggest structured settlement companies in the country. He saw how the industry worked from the inside and knew customers deserved a better deal. So he built one.
Today, CSF is one of the most experienced buyers of structured settlement payments in the country. We also purchase lottery winnings and annuity payments, and we provide probate advances to heirs waiting on an estate to close. If you are comparing companies right now, we encourage that. We want to earn your business, and we know what happens when people compare: they usually come back to us.
We have closed more than 4,000 transactions across the country and delivered over $200 million in funding. That experience means we know the laws, the courts, and the people on the other side of the table. Call us at (800) 317-3769 to talk through your options with someone who has actually done this thousands of times.

Our Team's Expertise
Our attorneys have worked in this industry since 2002. They know the Structured Settlement Protection Acts in every state, the filing requirements in every court system, and the internal processes at every major annuity issuer. That is not a sales pitch. It is the result of 50+ years of combined experience and thousands of completed transactions.
We have dealt with MetLife, Prudential, New York Life, AIG, John Hancock, and every other major issuer. We know their timelines, their paperwork requirements, and which ones move fastest. That knowledge saves you time and gets you funded sooner.
Whether your transaction involves standard guaranteed payments, complex life contingent annuities, lottery payment streams, or an inheritance stuck in probate, our team has seen it before and knows how to get it done.
Thousands of Completed Transactions
We see the same transaction types over and over, which means we catch issues early and close deals faster. Experience is the difference between a smooth closing and a delayed one.
Federal and State Law Expertise
Every state has its own version of the Structured Settlement Protection Act. Our attorneys know the specific filing requirements, notice periods, and judicial standards in each one.
Nationwide Court Filings
We handle every court filing, every document, and every scheduling detail. Most customers do not have to do much beyond signing paperwork and showing up to the hearing.
Life Contingent Payment Specialists
Most companies turn away life contingent deals because they are too complicated. We have funded millions in life contingent payments and know exactly how to structure them.
