"When an injury victim recovers a substantial amount of money in a settlement or judgment, I am flooded with phone calls and emails from structured settlement brokers and financial advisers seeking to get the business from our clients. Most financial advisers have little experience investing the funds of a catastrophically injured person and are unaware of the full range of investment and trust options available to them. But even worse, most financial advisers are simply just smiles and handshakes at the initial meeting and once the cash has been transferred to their investment firm, you hardly hear from them. They've made their money and move on to the next case.
"Tim Denehy [of Forge Consulting and Advocacy Trust Solutions] is different. I started working with Tim after an acquaintance from another plaintiffs' settlement/trust company recommended Tim. From the initial meeting with the clients, Tim showed a nice gentle and respectful touch with our clients that instantly set him apart from others in the structured settlement industry. Instead of boring our clients with stories about himself, Tim quietly and respectfully asked questions and tried to determine the best trust and structured settlement solutions for our clients. Tim let our clients take center-stage so he could find the right structured settlement and trust solutions that met their needs. I love how Tim interacts with our clients!
"But more importantly, Tim has been there for our clients after the transfer of the funds into their trusts and structured settlement investments. Tim has developed an ongoing relationship with our clients without seeking extra fees and if there's a problem, Tim is upfront about acknowledging the issue and trying to fix it. I have rarely, if ever, seen the candor and forthright honesty from structured settlement consultants that I've seen from Tim.
"I've worked with many structured settlement consultants and financial advisers over my career in catastrophic and medical malpractice law with mixed results. Tim Denehy is more than a notch above the others I've worked with in terms of both his people skills and his ongoing commitment and dedication to his relationship with our disabled clients. I intend to continue working with Tim and if you get the chance to work with him, there's a good chance you won't want to work with anyone else for your structured settlements and trusts."
