The book that I got from the library talked about how to sell structured settlement payments. I was really interested in it and wondered if there would be a chance for me to take advantage of this or not. I had already received one of the four payments that the judge awarded me, so I was not sure if I could go and sell structured settlement payments now or not. Maybe the other three would have to be done like the first one.

I contacted a lawyer that was in the phone book and asked her if she could help me or not. She said that at any time, I could try and liquidate my structured settlement and it might be approved, or it might not. She told me all the necessary steps to get the ball rolling and it did not sound too hard. The hard part would be the waiting that I would have to do. The lawyer explained that it would take just over two and a half months till we would know if it was approved or not.

I was willing to give it a shot, if it meant that I could have more of the awarded money right now and not have to wait for years. The lawyer took on my case and within three months; I was able to sell my structured settlement and have ninety percent of the money that I was owed.
