Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey

Abolsolutely, positively not. It would be an ethical violation for your lawyer to advance you money in this manner. This is completely barred and a lawyer who does so risks his license. Moreover, since he cannot actually enforce the illegal loan, he would be a fool for doing so, since if he tried to deduct it from a settlement then he would be forced to document the prior unethical act.

There are services that advance cash; do not use them unless you are totally desparate. Borrow from friends or family. The services charge from 36% up to 75% interest per year compounded. Loan sharks are generally better! But if you must, there are some reputable people who you can look at.

Hope that helps.
