The great thing about our services is that there is no cost at all to the client.

Structured Settlements

Structured Settlements are primarily utilized for settling claims involving personal physical injury with a qualified funding vehicle (usually a single premium annuity) resulting in a tax-free customized stream of payments for the claimant.

By embracing a structured settlement, you’re providing for critical needs that may arise for you and your loved ones. In the process, you get to keep all your gains, without having to pay income taxes. Structured settlements are designed to protect you, to perform for you, and to give you peace of mind.

Testimonials

Christopher Villasenor, Esq. Villasenor Law Offices

While working on an injury case that involved MediCal, MediCare, and VA benefits I knew that we had to get a Structured Settlement and also a Special Needs Trust to help preserve the benefits and to maximize the recovery. I contacted Manny Valdez and Manuel Valdez Sr. at Ringler; both were very patient with me and the client, instructing and making sure we had all of the information necessary to understand everything. They made the process of using a Structured Settlement very easy.

Scott Blumen, Esq. Scott Blumen, Attorney at Law

While working on a personal injury case that resulted in a catastrophic injury with lifetime disability, I was tasked with a goal to come up with a game plan that provided care for the rest of my client’s life. Manny Valdez was able to provide the best Structured Settlement plan for him and his family. I was very happy with Mannys desire and willingness to be available for consultations. He took the time to sit down with our client and genuinely see them as people; he truly cares for their needs.

Ken Sigelman, Esq. Kenneth M. Sigelman & Associates

I’ve been practicing for about 35 years in the medical field, particularly in medical malpractice cases in San Diego, California. For this one case involving an infant that resulted in a brain injury, I needed to go with Manny Valdez. He has been my go-to guy for 25 years! There’s no one else that I can think of when I need someone to help me with a Structured Settlement. Manny really cares about my clients. It is not just professional pride that he wants to do a great job; he really cares about the people. He understands what the families go through, and I really appreciate the consideration and the commitment that Manny shows to my clients, and they appreciate it too. The fact that they have Manny, who treats them with kindness and compassion and earns their trust - it makes all the difference.

Ian Fusselman, Esq. Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire, LLP

We represented a young mother on a medical malpractice case that resulted in the need for a Structured Settlement. For that we got Manny Valdez and Manuel Valdez Sr. from The Valdez Team at Ringler involved to start working on the Structured Settlement. They attended the mediation to get real-time calculations based on the net recovery to the client through the rest of the client’s life. They provide a level of comfort by providing the right information and explain complex items to the client (i.e. what an Annuity is, why it is important to have adjustments for cost of living increases, etc.) Ultimately our clients feel much more comfortable to resolve the case because the Mannys were involved.
