A: If your attorney does not permit pre-settlement loans and you need immediate funds for your pending settlement with the Boy Scouts of America, there are still options to explore. Begin by discussing your financial urgency with your attorney and exploring alternative solutions together. Additionally, you can research financial institutions that specialize in pre-settlement funding or lawsuit loans, as some may have different requirements and not require an attorney's signature. You may also consider looking into other potential sources of financial support, such as nonprofit organizations or local community resources.

A: This could be something to discus in more detail with attorney - they are often contacted in these situations with questions about the case. Good luck
