Structured Attorney Fee's, what you need to know.

One of the biggest misconceptions with structured legal fee's is that the Child's vs Commissioner case still is the governing case law and that there is some cloud over the tax status of structuring attorney fees. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The fact is that virtually every life market in the structured settlement arena now offers structured legal fees, all with a variety of options and features that make it one of the primary methods for deferring income to future years for trial lawyers.

Here is the list of life insurance companies that offer structured legal, or structured attorney fees:

1. Allstate Life Insurance Company.

2. AIG/American General Life Insurance.

3. Aviva Life Insurance Company. 

4. Hartford Life Insurance Company.

5. John Hancock Life Insurance Company. 

6. Liberty Life Assurance Company.

7. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

8. Prudential Life Insurance Company.

9. Pacific Life Life Insurance Company.

10. Symetra Life Insurance Company.

Keep in mind that each company has it's own little quirks and requirements but that in general you can go to any of them to obtain a structured annuity to fund your legal fees.
