Unexpectedly, I came into a situation in which I needed to structure an installment sale on a significant asset, on a short timeframe. Part of the reason I had such a short timeframe was that a team of lawyers and accountants I had retained (who were good general tax practitioners but, it turned out, were not familiar with this niche of tax law) had been running circles on this issue and not coming up with good answers. As time was running out, I turned to Google, and 4Structures came up with a very helpful article on the topic. I called the number on their site late in the day, and John Darer picked up directly. He was about to board a plane, but I explained the situation briefly, and he said he was pretty sure he knew the answer, but he'd do a little extra research to confirm while he was on the plane (via wifi), and would call me back after he landed, later in the evening (well after normal work hours!) Sure enough, John called back as promised, and had a very clear answer and plan of attack for the issue moving forward. We solved the problem very soon after that. I couldn't believe how simple he made this process, when teams of other lawyers and accounts had failed. If you have any issued related to structured installment sales, John is your man. He is very likely one of the top experts in this field in the country, and he's incredibly affable, generous with his time, and offers unparalleled care and service to his clients. Thank you John! I will be enthusiastically recommending you to anyone else I know who needs support in this field. read more

John D. was extremely patient and understanding of my settlement challenges. He provided many options and strategies for me to consider. Also, John went through an extensive amount of information about my settlement that I had no prior knowledge of which was educational and sufficient. I would recommend John and use his services for sure. read more

If you happen to be involved in a legal case, the focus is likely on winning but not on how the potential award is to be received. However this is very important, especially when there are tax implications. I found myself in this situation and quickly realized that I had no idea on how to approach this. Even the tax lawyer I hired had limited knowledge of the subject. Trial lawyers focus on winning cases and will rarely offer advice. I am a person who likes to educate myself and make an informed decision, not be handed a solution. Research was necessary. It wasn't until I searched youtube that I came across a series of excellent presentations on structured settlements by 4structures.com. John Darer, the presenter, was clearly an expert in the field. Being under pressure to determine how to proceed I called John's office. He quickly understood the details, with confidence explained the process, answered many questions I had, and within a couple of days proposed an attractive solution. John explained that a structure involved several parties and it was extremely important to execute each step of the process properly. He also offered to present the structure as a win-win solution to all involved. Leveraging his extensive professional experience as well as negotiating and personal skills John did a fantastic job: he drove the process from start to finish, explained, negotiated, got time extensions, and resolved corporate level tax issues. John's in-depth knowledge of structures was absolutely priceless. John Darer came through for me at every step of the process. He is an expert of the highest caliber. His handling of the case has been flawless and negotiating skills excellent. I highly recommend his company to anyone who needs a "structure". John, thank you so much for being there for me and for always finding time to answer many questions that I had. read more

I have a structured settlement that I was very concerned about. I was basically going crazy with all the stress and the worry that I have had over the past six months. I had already went to two lawyers and was getting nowhere near the answers I needed. I then found John through my searches and decided to hit the contact us section of the 4structures.com website. Almost immediately I received a response back from him. I was able to ask questions and get more information than I had in the past six months. John's knowledge of structured settlements sets him above the rest. John was able to answer my questions and provide me with more peace of mind and knowledge than I could have hoped for. Not only was John extremely timely in every response, but John also has so much knowledge of structured settlements, I know exactly who I will talk to from now on. read more
