Struggling family of a West African immigrant fatally shot in confrontation with an undercover cop had to borrow at extremely high interest rates to make trip to attend officers trial in NY.

BTW, this money is being used to allow them to attend the criminal trial of the shooting officer. The title you made up (see above) is a bit misleading...
Perfectly legal..same as viatical settlements on life insurance policies..witht he caveat that the borrower fully understands the costs and risks...
Camp of the Saints. Read it. Third World Immigration will be our demise.
I googled the LAWCASH firm and they "advance" money for any lawsuit accepted under their terms. Money is not just for travel to court (like in this article)but there is a video on their site that has a guy talking about buying christmas presents. They don't care what the money goes to. The outrageous frivolous lawsuits are bad enough, but once this firm deems you probably will get a settlement they "advance" you up to 100,000.00. I don't care about the interest rates. They lawyers get theirs, The "victims(?) get theirs (in advance)and as in this case the cop will probably get screwed.
They didn't have to borrow the money - they chose to do so. They didn't have to attend the criminal trial - they chose to do so.
The "victims(?) get theirs (in advance)and as in this case the cop will probably get screwed.
There isn't any...............
