About Us


We pride ourselves and our business on honesty, integrity and professionalism. We work at your side, staying with you and your client throughout the settlement process and trial. 


Together, we will provide your client with professional service and advice from trusted experts. Would you settle a personal injury case without your own medical expert? No. Then why proceed without a Certified Structured Settlement Consultant?


Using Evergreen Structured Settlements costs you and your client nothing. The settlement payer pays our fees with no reduction in the amount paid to your client. Attorneys fees are not affected by the structured settlement, nor is payment of the attorneys fees. Did you know that all or a portion of your attorney fees can, at your choosing, be structured? Call us.
