Testimonials
What Your AAJ (formerly ATLA) Colleagues Are Saying About The Halpern Group
"We’ve used the Halpern Group. In my opinion they are the best structured settlement resource that currently exists for plaintiffs.
In terms of product safety, it’s difficult to imagine a vehicle that is “safer” than Halpern’s United States Treasury Bond Structured Settlement Trust. If you can find an investment that is safer, please let me know.
I started doing structured settlements almost immediately after the passage of the Periodic Payment Settlement Act of 1982 and spent much of the 1980 and early 1990s lecturing to lawyers all over the country about the potential benefits of structured settlements. However, our office has now stopped doing ANY structured settlements based upon the purchase of annuities.
While there were many considerations that brought us to this point, one of the major factors has been the Halpern Group's creation of a viable alternative that only benefits the plaintiff and not the defendant or the defendant's insurance carrier."
~ John K. Powers, Albany, NY
"Rich Halpern is a true hero. Maury and I have used Rich's services for years. He is not only brilliant and creative but he cares! He cares as much about our clients as we do and keeps them safe from the hounds."
~ Russ Herman, New Orleans, LA
“I never consider a structured settlement without talking to The Halpern Group. There’s nobody better when it comes to finding solutions to a victim’s money management needs.”
~ Roxanne Conlin, Des Moines, IA
“When it comes to designing a structured settlement, you can’t beat The Halpern Group’s combination of experience, commitment and expertise. The way I see it, I owe it to my injured clients to get them the very best financial advice, and that means calling The Halpern Group.”
~ David Bossart, Fargo, ND
“Richard Halpern and his group know who their client is when we retain them. They don’t just give quotes, they analyze and make suggestions to better protect and reward the client. I wouldn’t listen to any structured settlement discussion without their input.”
~ Richard Bieder, Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, Bridgeport, CT
“No matter how good a plaintiff’s lawyer you are, The Halpern Group can help you serve your clients better.”
~ Tom Vesper, Atlantic City, NJ

"The only person I would ever see for a structured settlement is Rich Halpern"

"A case isn't successfully completed until the money is protected, for the client, by The Halpern Group.”
~ Sheldon Miller, Southfield, MI
“Halpern is tough, perceptive, creative, and a brilliant negotiator.”
~ Richard Bieder, Bridgeport, CT
“As lawyers, we like to think that we have enough knowledge and experience to prepare a case and negotiate a good settlement for our clients. Working with Rich Halpern on several complex, multi-party cases has shown me that a different perspective on negotiations and unique knowledge about the inner workings of the insurance industry can make an extraordinary impact on the strategy involved in positioning of the case, negotiating the best settlement, or focal points for trial. Rich has been able to disarm opposing counsel, adjusters, and even claims committees, resulting in a significant benefit for my clients. A smart lawyer surrounds himself/herself with smart people and that is why I work with Rich Halpern”.
~ Steven C. Laird, Fort Worth, TX
“We wouldn’t trust the defendants rendition of the facts, so why should we rely on their economics.”
~ Gary B. Pillersdorf, NY, NY
“Rich Halpern is an innovative, serious and ‘no holds barred’ negotiator. He understands the needs and goals of our clients and helps us successfully achieve them. Why risk your client’s future when Rich is only a phone call away?”
~ Terrence Quinn, Rapid City, SD
"If competence, trust and integrity have meaning for your practice - meet Rich Halpern; he's the best!"
~ Russ Herman, New Orleans, LA
“I have worked with The Halpern Group for over 10 years. I would never handle or attempt to negotiate a serious case without their help. What they do, no one else does for the plaintiff’s lawyer and their clients. You will never regret using their services.”
~ David R. Bossart, Fargo, ND
“Rich Halpern has assisted me in trial preparation and negotiations for over 10 years. His strategies are creative and they work. Each case gets individual attention. Rich understands the insurance industry and how they negotiate.”
~ Greg Eiesland, Rapid City, SD
"I have known Rich Halpern and The Halpern Group for several years. They have always placed the interest of the injured victim ahead of anything else. They are creative and thoughtful, and bring something to the table that we as trial lawyers often do not have: inside knowledge about the real motivations of the defense. Rich Halpern is a master strategist."
~ John Elliott Leighton, Miami, FL
“Richard Halpern’s insightful and creative settlement negotiation strategies have helped me truly maximize my client’s recoveries in case after case. Richard has a detailed knowledge of the negotiation strategy and process and never leaves a dollar on the table. He understands the mindset of the insurance carriers and perfectly compliments the trial lawyer’s representation of the plaintiff.”
~ Patrick M. Regan, Washington, DC
"For many years, Rich Halpern has been the only alternative to letting the insurance carriers keep the settlement monies. When the judge says; 'I want this settlement structured' our experience is that The Halpern Group consistently gets 'the most bang for the settlement buck'."
~ John Fitzgerald, Yonkers, NY
“While there are many financial advisors who can invest settlement funds into structures, there is no one in the business other than Halpern who fully understands my client’s present and future needs. He has always been there for my clients after fees and commissions have been spent.”
~ Howard S. Richman, NY, NY
“Nobody – but nobody – cares more for injured plaintiffs than Richard Halpern. He is of immense help to lawyers and their clients. He gets results because he is dedicated.”
~ Sybil Shainwald, NY, NY
“The Halpern Group is there when you need them in a quiet, non-overbearing, but secure and strong manner. What else can you ask for! They are not ‘kind of’ committed, but are ‘totally’ committed.”
~ Turner Branch, Albuquerque, NM
“The financial package proposed by The Halpern Group was reviewed by several financial consultants. All agreed that the Halpern proposal was much better than that proposed by the Defendants insurance company and met the needs of my injured client, better than any proposal from a private investment firm.”
~ Bill Lightfoot, Washington, DC
