Structured Attorney Fees

Attorney Fee Structured Deferrals In San Diego, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Nevada


Attorney Fee Structured Deferrals are a valuable tax-planning & investment strategy for any attorney that is paid through contingency fees. We offer several options for attorneys to structure their fees.
Key advantages of Attorney Fee Structured Deferrals:

Avoid higher federal income tax brackets or marginal tax rates

Lower your federal & state income tax liability that result from large cases

The ability to strategically spread your fees over time, in order to preserve wealth & stabilize future income for attorney and/or firm

Tax-deferred investment growth, similar to qualified retirement plans – but without contribution limits

The flexibility of choosing along a spectrum of fixed (guaranteed rate of return) or market-based (higher risk) options

Invest your savings at little or no risk, depending on your risk tolerance

Below is a summary of what we offer:

We have the flexibility to work with almost all of the onshore & offshore institutions, providers, and companies that deliver the best products out there in the attorney fee structured deferral space. We take pride in doing our due diligence, so that we can best take care of our clients’ needs & goals.

Variable Options

This may make more sense for an attorney that has a more aggressive risk tolerance profile and who values the potential upside of the market.

Fixed Options

This may make more sense for an attorney that has a more conservative risk tolerance profile and who values a guaranteed rate of return.
