Customer Reviews

I had a family emergency and needed funds. I was helped by Debbie and the process was very quick. I am grateful for the help that I have received from High Rise financial. Everyone is really nice here. If you are in need of a lawsuit loan, Debbie is here to help. I'm very happy with high rise financial. I needed help again and they were able to help me. Debbie is truly amazing! Debbie is no longer with high-rise, she was very personable and sweet.

I had a outstanding experience with the services I received from HighRise Financial LLC, This is my second time using there services, They were responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond to get me the funds I needed in a timely manner. I appreciate their dedication Jessica and Wanita, their professionalism, patience, and helpfulness made my experience truly exceptional, communication was beyond clear and steady, process was fast and easy. I definitely recommend using there services.

Ok I had prior funding so that took a little doing I'm patient that was the last Thursday turn my direct deposit information in waited for 2 days thinking my money what's coming to my card define out over the weekend the my direct deposit got sent back Miss Samantha my case manager at the Los Angeles store didn't call or text to let me know anything I've been watching this FedEx since Friday FedEx says they haven't received my package yet delivery date well this morning find out it wasn't sent so I made sur

UPDATE 6/24/25: I I came back to post a positive comment now that the situation has been resolved just as I wrote the bad review I can write the good one. I appreciate Julie for rectifying the situation contacting the necessary people and getting it done. Her patience with my frustration was amazing because I know that I could be a bit over the top at times. Thank you so much to high-rise financial you guys took care of it quickly after I got my contract signed maybe an hour and the funds were in my account

Working with HighRise has been a wonderful pleasure.. ! Ms. Alexandra and Ms.Lisa were absolutely phenomenal at getting everything handled in a very fast time manner. I highly recommend using them if you are injured and in need of urgent , important cash to handle bills and etc.. :)

Great experience, fast service and guidance from their associates through out the whole process. Very well explained and excellent communication. I highly recommend using them. Special shout out to Jessica and Wanita- who personally assisted and provided top tier service. Thank you!

Very easy to work with and quick. The best part was transparency in interest rates and NO COMPOUND interest which can suck your money dry. I have had very good customer service with each call and have gone above and beyond to accommodate me. I appreciated every dollar as I was not able to work for at least 7-9 months and did not have any savings when I got injured this was a life saver indeed.

My fault for not looking at what the bad reviews said. But all the bad reviews share the same experience. They act like they care til you get approved then its drug out for the next day then the next. I had to do the work of making sure they were doing there part mu lawyer was saying they did what they asked and they would say it was my lawyer. Then I get approved had to wait til the following day for the wire transfer but am told 1:30pst it will be there its not then call them back and its the first time e

Well it didn't work out in my favor and they were very responsive and polite . Also did give me an answer within a few days.but asking for a document of it for my records.even just an email.ot is important to have and now they are not complying. I have a few questions but no answers.it would logically be the way you close the file with any client u have obtained case information with.

I have been conducting business with Highrise Financial for years. Everytime I apply for funding HRF employees are kind, compassionate, and patient with me. Thank you so much Alexandra and Lisa for all your help today yall are impeccable individuals.

Not happy with services. When you request funds they are very nice but after you are approved, they do not answer your calls,send you straight to voicemail, don't care if you need the funds for food and bills but just cares about meeting quota in my opinion. It's sad to be told don't go with any other funding company (by highrise financial) but when you listen they don't follow up with you until you contact them several times.

The best and fasted process!! The company is extremely detailed and transparent.. Great communication and follow-up to expedite funding in a timely manner!! Don't go any further they are very kind and professional.. Great results..!!!!

I've been trying to get some info about my approval for about a week in a half now and I keep getting sent to a message machine. I'm finding that I'm getting pushed aside. Can someone at Highrise help push this loan threw.

If it wasn't for Erin's help I wouldn't have felt comfortable but Erin made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing which made me feel confident,She really cares about people and it shows in her tone and kind words,she answers all my calls and is very kind and respectful to me.If more people were like her things wouldn't be so crazy in this world! Such a pleasure to have her as the one helping me! Thank you High Rise for hiring such a great personality,such a winner! ????

Terrible. Tell you they can help you, drag the process out for 3 weeks-then say they cannot help. Don't even bother with this company they'll tell you what you want to hear to keep your business. Don't take initiative to even work your application unless you consistently call them. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

High rise is the place that really help you out with things that matter the most they care and really help us being under roof. Because with high rise I wouldn't know what to do with a home. They help in many different ways we need help in. Thank u and I would recommend high rise.

They are great, my husband went through them, the lawyers was being hella slow, but these guys stayed on them. They reallt helped us in our time of need.

UPDATE 1/24/2025: High Rise Financial Responded in their second posting here, they just wanted to find out who left the negative review "so we can learn from the negative review". I am confused you first said you called and emailed me, then it was to learn who posted. But you have still not contacted me regarding it. So, nothing done. I will now be hiring a law firm due to the handling of my personal information by 3rd parties. Thank you for your response. Always be careful of your personal information. UP

My name is Jamison Miller. I got a loan from them for my settlement. It was very professional and I got my money and timely fashion and they're always there to help. I recommend them to anyone. Have a blessed day everyone.

My girlfriend had had the worst experience with the clowns That's incredible that you're saying about her expectations it wasn't her expectations it was your company that was supposed to provide her for the funding and your employees and now she cannot get any funding because of your guys's boo boo negligence you guys don't even answer the phone to her

I really needed the finances to help with getting through the holiday season. High Rise Financial came through for me while I continue to wait for my settlement case to finalize. I would definately recommend this company. Thank you so msuch for your help!

I worked with Samantha several times and she was always quick on the ball and I had my funds usually within a day or two an amazing company there when you need them and for very reasonable rate.. I referred this company to many friends and coworkers as I do to you. Great people and very prompt.Helped make Christmas happen for our family.

It was a pleasure dealing with high rise financial, Everything was handled within a week I would definitely recommend them as well and thank you all for outstanding service.

If I could give 0 stars I would.... they are not responding and are a complete joke. They blocked my phone after they promised to help me "quickly".

High rise financial really helped me out every time I'm need of funds. Very fast and efficient and great customer service ??

Great communication and very kind people especially miss Jess, and Wanita who were on the ball quick, and as quick the wind to getting my advancement!

Absolutely ridiculous! I'm waiting for the underwriter and have been waiting all week. It's unfortunate that the staff that have to take my calls through out the day for this week and they know my situation and how this measly 2500.00 is very much needed right now because I have no other choice but to be homeless and not having any money, I have no food, no shelter no warmth. I'm dodging the rain all freezing cold temperatures all the while I am also dodging the police because I have a service dog and if th

Very very rude someone continue to pick up the phone not say anything and then hang the phone up... At first I thought it was the network but they did it over and over oh well wouldn't do business with you anyway because of your unprofessionalism

They wrote me a personal check thru Cathay Bank but no one will cash it because Cathey doesn't verify personal checks I have contacted and left multiple messages talked to many at high rise financial no one will resolve this issue by sending a cashier's check so it was useless to use them at all.

Smh customer service is horrible. I asked to file a complaint she hung up.

Do not go through these people if you need money fast or if it's for an emergency, they do not care they will put you off till the next day or the next day or even the following Monday... If you need money fast go through Oasis they literally fund within 24 hours... Also high-rise only does wire transfers or check by mail and both routes end up taking an extra day on top of the few days that it takes them to approve your application... With Oasis you can get your money at any Walmart as long as customer ser

I posted a negative review in which I cannot find however I would like to please retract as I had a couple drinks on that night and didn't mean the review when I said it wasted my time or anything these guys have been nothing but great don't drink and review people or you will end up feeling like a heel like me. My bad!

VERY RUDE COMPANY CANT NOT EXPLAIN WHY I GOT DENIAL BUT WAS RUDE AND UNPLEASING DIDNT EXPLAIN THE REASON AND CAN NOT SPEAK CLEAR ENGLISH I HAVE LOOK ON THEIR REVIEWS AND SEE THEY ONLY HELP WHITE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE REVIEWS AND ITS NOT GOOD THEY LIE ABOUT WHAT THEY OFFER, THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO WORKER COMP. OR JOB INJURY BUT ON THE WEBSITE IT DOES SAY THEY WILL HELP NOW ALL OF SUDDEN I DO HAVE A 3RD PARTY SO SINCE THEOR ISNT A 3RD PARTY I WAS DEINED.I HATE FOR BUSINESS TO POST FAKE INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPL

Very professional with what they do and very prompt with your expectations I would refer them to anyone seeking for a settlement funding loan thank you High Rise Financial for your hard work for making things happen for me

I will highly recommend highrise for their amazing job theyve doing.. its very easy to ask for loan they save me in a lot of times when i need cash also thank you maria for your patience 10 stars.. thank you again

Beyond satisfactory! I would highly recommend their services. On point and always on time. Thank you!

Was in a desperate situation after not being able to work due to accident. Contacted High Rise Financial. Alex was my case manager and she went over and beyond to make sure I was helped. I would recommend this company to anyone. Very great services. Thanks Alex and Andrian.

My pre settlement loan been pending with them for 5 months now. Never heard back from the account manager Christina and when I called they said my lawyer never responded which I quickly found out it wasn't true.

Company is not fast couldn't speak to nobody was transferred numerous time after 4 days they denied me me with no explanation 4 days just to tell me I'm denied Do not use this company

This is a great company. The take you application seriously and work in your favor. Natalie is woferful and she does everything to help the customers in professional and nice manner. She is great !

Great service, responded back immediately. I would definitely do business with them again

Very prompt, had very good experience and was able to do it all electronically. I recommend High rise for your financial needs.

I've dealt with other financing companies so I'm here to tell you that High Rise Financial is like no other. They are hands down the best out there! There team makes the whole process so easy and I had my money right away. Special thanks to Erin and Eve these two are the best at what they do. If I have any friends or family in need of financing I'm going to recommend them go directly to High Rise Financial.

High Rise sounds great until it's not? I submitted my info for a loan, they contacted my lawyer, my lawyer gave them everything they need and then they rejected my loan with no explanation over a text message. Super unprofessional. I won't be contacting them again and recommend others heed that advice

Had a great experience with Hi Rise Financial. They were very fast & accurate all at the same time. Everything was done right. My case manager, Deb, was awesome. She explained everything in common language & covered all necessary details to where I can understand them. She returned phone calls promptly, and was available for questions, etc. Great Team!

I was in dyer need. And I hesitantly requested for funds. I was in tears at how quickly I was approved. And how quickly I received the funds. Set along with the customer service. Such hospitality & care. I definitely appreciate it. My kids & I are moving into our new safe home as I type.

Mrs Trinity was very great and helpful she went above and beyond to help me . I truly appreciate what she have done to help me. She is 1 out of 6 supervisors I believe from the intake team at high rise financial LLC. Thank you so much Mrs Trinity for your help .

Originally had some problems with a sale rep. My Fianc?e and I were approved for a presettlement loan, but had issues with a sale representative. But since then, I left a poor review and someone from Management called us and apologized on behalf of the sales associate. They had essentially already lost our business, but still called to apologized when they saw my poor review. Since then, we've gone to them now twice and have had 0 issues. It might take a little time and patience, but atleast you know someon

So far everything has been great just waiting for underwriting to complete their part. Being discriminated for being pregnant is very hard to deal with and with several other children. I hope they find it their hearts to help a young single mother out in a time of need. Appreciate the communication and responses for my case Manager Christina

Great service I'm satisfied all around the board

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME USING THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A JOKE MY CASE WAS SETTLED AND THEY DIDN'T APPROVE MY REQUEST AND THE LADY JESSICA WHO NEEDS TO GO TO GRAMMAR SCHOOL DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE IN WHY THEY COULD NOT APPROVE IT WHEN THIS WAS AN EASY REQUEST AND EASY MONEY FOR THEM, YOU ARE BETTER OFF USING OASIS OR PEACHTREE BUT DO NOT USE THIS JOKE OF A COMPANY

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. High Rise Financial was courteous and helpful! I received my money much faster than from the other companies I've worked with. Thanks to their great communication, I was kept informed throughout the entire process and they made sure they really understood my situation. The staff truly cares about their customers. 10/10 would recommend!

Sunrise is a great company and work really fast. My only issue is I wish they tell you up front which banks don't accept their wires. Not knowing slows down the process a bit. But to avoid that just ask and it will go very smooth and very fast. They did however, kept me informed every step of the way.

I was helped twice by this company and they delivered on time. No complaints! My last attempt took over a week and I never recieved a status other than its stuck in underwriting. I am very disappointed in the level of service I received. Im not going to say not to deal with them but beware have a backup plan because you may not recieve an answer in time.

High Rise Financial was able to get me $20,000 in just a couple of days. They are thorough, attentive and they get the job done. The funding wasn't very expensive in my opinion. My case manager Ashlie was great! Thank you, High Rise!

Aimee is the BEST! She's very professional and thorough. She explain the process from beginning to end and made sure I understood the funding process. She communicated with my lawyers everyday until she received all the necessary documents needed to get me funded . Outed by anyone in need of immediate financial assistance to contact High-rise Financial. They're the best!

Great quick and easy service. No hassles and Low interest rates

So glad that I chose High Rise Financial the attention that I received concerning my loan was more than I'd ever ask for. And the process from start to finish was the fastest I'd ever expected it to be. Everyone that I spoke with was very kind an attentive to my requests and concerns...Thank you High Rise Financial for everything that you have done I am forever grateful.

Professional, detailed, courteous. Very good experience. Would highly recommend.

Eve made the process so easy. She listened to me and worked with me to get the amount I needed to met my needs. She was very professional and responsive! This is a very credible company to do business with.

Friendly service. Couldn't ask for better help.

High Rise Financial is the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are fast, professional, reasonable, they communicate with you, not like some other companies. A+++

Fast friendly and on time thanks for the help when I needed it. C Flowers

This company is terrible! please do not borrow from them unless you prepared to pay three times the amount back. I can assure you that there are other financial companies that you could get a loan from with cheaper rates. Dont let this company put you in a bad position of having to pay a lot of money back. These people are going to put you in a deeper financial hole if you borrow from them. Please don't do it! There are other financial companies you can benefit from. Reach out to me and I will point you

Got the funds really quick. simply put a little information and Done thank you

they were very quick and efficient and helpful along the process being my case for three years in White I could use a little more but they were on point to help!

I apply for a loan of 1000 they send me five hundred. Then I had to ask for another loan this time 1000. Then I ask for another 1000. They sent me five hundred. Then payback time for me I had to pay back five thousand and change. They are a complete ripoff. I wish I never needed some cash before the case was over. Five thousand plus scandalous. Very scandalous

When I had a heart ship because of my car accident HireRise Financial was there to help me with the funds I needed to get me through my hard times til I could get back to work because of my injuries from the accident I really appreciate you guys for lending me a helping hand

Thank You for your prompt service. Within the next day I got the deposit into my bank account.

The experience was quick and easy. Talking with a specialist went really smooth very professional and explained everything that I needed to know. Received my funds quickly. Extremely impressed. I would recommend them to anyone.

My experiencewith High Rise financial was great. The turn around time to get me a check was super quick and the process was easy. I love that they cap on the interest rate and I look forward to the next time I am in need while waiting for a settlement check.

Erin at Highrise did an amazing job. I needed to get cash asap, and she made it happen. Erin was easy to communicate with, she made sure everything was taken care of. They were on top of it every step of the way. I highly recommend anyone looking for legal funding to work with Highrise.

Very friendly and quick to help. I received my check the NEXT day!

You don't want to hear what I have to say about what you have done sence you locked me in with a 1000 dollars and refused me ever since because it starts out with lies saying you will help me when you have not helped me since locking me in with 1000 dollars of that did nothen but stop me from getting real help sence

This company was referred to me by my attorneys office . My husband is on hospice & we had a few needs & was concerned about our financial situation . This company & John was absolutely wonderful to me . He got the loan approved the same day & the next day the check came overnight delivery ??!!!! I've never ever had such a quick response & I'm very thankful some of our needs or desires have been able to be met . Thank you to my law firm for sending them to me & thank you precious John for being so kind to

Having never done this type of loans before, I was worried, High Rise made me feel at ease, I was assigned a Case Manager her name was Alex, She kept me informed every step of the way, I got a quick approval and they work seamlessly with my attorney to get me the funding I needed, I highly recommend this company and will use them again if the need arises. KCM.

Extremely disappointed. I was in a head on collision a month ago that has temporarily put me out of work. Like everyone else in the world, I have bills I need to pay and am going through the personal injury legal settlement process. I am also working with one of the best personal injury legal firms in Hawaii who advised me not to even go through with settlement advance funding because of the interest rates but still complied and promptly filled out all of the paperwork from High Rise Financial due to the se

Stacy was the best ever! She really took her time to get to know my situation and was very down to earth and humble. She helped me out super fast and honestly deserves a raise. She went above and beyond her job duties. Whoever her supervisor is she definitely deserves a raise or a bonus or something. Don't ever let her go. She will be the reason I come back and do business with you guys in the future!!!

I was calling many places and I got so many excuses for not being eligible, but when I told my lawyer, he said hold on and gave me a number to high rise financial and with what seemed like only a 2 minute phone call I got thousands in my bank in 24 hours. IT REALLY WAS THAT SIMPLE! And the rates are not bad. Call them and you will see. Thanks high rise

ABSOLUTELY wonderful people! Very helpful and do their best to help you in every way possible! Eve worked hard to help me and my situation and came through quickly! They are very nice, very fair and will help the moment that you ask! Recommend 1000 times over! You'll be happy that you called believe me!

I was very happy with the service High Rise provided. I had first went to Prime Case llc. DON'T use them. They lied and cheated me. I wish I had gone to High Rise first. Thanks again High Rise

Fast and easy customer service, Same day funding, fair pricing. Would recommend them to anyone looking for an advance on their settlement. 5 stars

High Rise Financial has truly been a Blessing? to me during this journey I'm going through with my lawsuit, all the surgeries and all the pain and suffering. They have been there to fund me the money that I really needed. I really appreciate you guys. Also, they're not sharks. They don't charge that much on their loans. Thank You ?????

Eve is one the kindest people I have met. She made sure I understood the entire their entire process, and kept me in the loop at all times. She answered every time I called, not once did I have to leave a message. My attorney can be on the slow side, but she kept on him too. Eve got me money I desperately needed and fast. I will recommend High Rise Financial and Eve to anyone

They had a a very prompt, courteous, great communicative, courteous, polite, compassionate, & always on the ball for any circumstances. Mr.Tevin was a very helpful, kind, knowledgeable, & such a God-sent Blessing with God-Speed actions!!! Also he would send random texts to see if I was okay & on holidays;(makes you feel like family & special!!!) He is a VIP to & for me!!! I was Blessed to be assisted by this company's Top-Tier Representatives!!! Y'all are awesome & doing a great & excellent job guy's , ke

I couldn't recommend this company enough.. They are extremely helpful, courtesy and got me paid way quicker than any of the other big companies I reached out to. The communication was excellent throughout the process. Quick and painless. I received my money extremely fast and I would not hesitant to recommend them to any of my family/friends.

This company was referred by my attorney and I'm not sure why. I'm only giving 1 start because they make you. My original case manager called me for the first time a month ago and said "oh, I just realized how late it is, we aren't going to start anything tonight." Then it took me approximately 2 weeks to get him to answer his phone. This was after leaving 4-5 messages a day. So I demand a new case manager, we're now in the FOURTH WEEK of waiting on my funding. My new case manager gives me his cell phone

The first thing I would like to address to the people especially people of color, before you consider applying for a loan at this company. This company is extremely unprofessional and very racist themselves. Keep in mind, I have an employment racial discrimination lawsuit pending that is preparing for mediation and the award could be substantial. These people are so evil with no compassion in their heart for people of color. They deliberately and intentionally delayed my application after they hounded my

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
