If you do not win or settle your case, no repayment is due to Esquire Capital.

No. Esquire Capital lawsuit financing is not a loan. If Esquire Capital funds one of your cases, you will have to repay Esquire Capital only if you settle or win the lawsuit on behalf of your client. If your case is not successful, you will owe us nothing. Esquire Capital attorney financing is a non-recourse lawsuit funding advance, and thus differs greatly from a traditional loan.
No. Any attorney funding repayments provided to Esquire Capital, for both pre-settlement lawsuit funding and settlement cash advances, will be due at the time of the receipt of a settlement or award. There are no monthly payments associated with Esquire Capital lawsuit financing advances. Esquire Capital attorney financing is a non-recourse lawsuit funding advance.
If we approve pre-settlement funding for your case, we can provide you with a lawsuit funding advance within 24 to 48 hours.
If we receive a One Hour Funding® request for a settlement cash advance, we can approve the advance within one hour after verifying the information you provide. As soon as you execute the funding agreement for your post-settlement funding, we will advance the funds.
Case cost funding is a form of lawsuit financing which eliminates the cash flow problems and financial risks taken on by attorneys who pay for case and disbursement costs. The funds provided as part of Esquire Capital lawsuit financing services help pay for expert witness fees and other costs, as well as court costs and other case-related expenses. Case cost funding does not cover attorney's fees, however. The amount advanced and any monthly usage fees accrued are usually repaid from the client’s settlement proceeds, and are thus not passed along to attorneys. If you do not win or settle the case, you owe us nothing.
Esquire Capital will advance a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000 to an attorney for lawsuit financing.
The amount of any lawsuit financing advance depends on the attorney’s cash flow needs and estimated claim value. In determining a lawsuit financing amount, we will consider the facts and laws relating to the claim, liability, the venue where the case will be tried, and the insurance company involved in the lawsuit, if any.
