Others Promise…But 5 Star Delivers
What Hides Behind Fast, Easy and Hassle-Free?
What our competition won’t tell you about is the ugly truth behind monthly compounding.
As Einstein would say, “Compounding is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn’t, pays it.”
Why Do Our Competitors Compound?
While investing in legal funding may be risky in the short term, the rewards of monthly compounding far outweigh the risks in the long run, leading to appalling payoffs that “steal” the majority of your settlement check.
Great for the funding company that uses monthly compounding, but unreasonable for you.
Not With 5 Star Legal Funding!
Since 2006, we have been providing the unsurpassed solution.
Being experienced financial industry leaders with a deep understanding of Einstein’s lesson, we’re committed to helping you by eliminating the compounded rates offered by other funders.
We also proudly post our rates here, in our brochures and most importantly, on your contracts.

What Attorneys Say About Us
I first learned about 5 Star at a NYSTLA event and decided to try them out. I found them to be very easy to deal with from both the attorney’s perspective and the client’s perspective. They have the best rates I have seen and their turnaround time is very quick.
Funding helps put my clients on a level playing field with the defendant’s insurance carrier. The defendants are in no hurry to settle cases and funding allows my clients the time to let their case mature to receive maximum settlement. 5 Star does the right thing for my clients, they are easy to work with, and are always there for me throughout the case.
I was introduced to 5 Star about 3 years ago. I’ve used the services of multiple funding companies throughout the years, but they all gave me some sort of headache one way or the other. Outside of really having the best rates, and most personable service, the guys at 5 Star treats my clients like people and not a “business transaction.” They truly care about my clients well being and understand the situation my clients are placed in because of their injuries. I wouldn’t use anyone else for my clients funding needs.
I was referred to 5 Star just about 4 years ago and they have been a tremendous part of my practice. Everything they have told me from day one for my clients and my practice have all been exactly on point. 5 Star has a fast turnaround for the clients, and are always around when we need to speak to someone. My entire staff says the 5 Star guys make the process simple and easy on them as well. Not to mention having the lowest rates and are always there to help in the event we have issues with a case. Jason and Chris always go above and beyond to make our lives easier and at this point, we would never consider anyone else.
I have been using 5 Star Legal Funding for 10 years—since its inception. When they told me their mission statement was to fix what ails the industry, I really thought they would be like all the rest. I was wrong, and happy that I was. They made promises and assurances. They’ve lived up to everything they said and have made things much simpler in my practice. My clients always come back and rave about the service. I can honestly say 5 Star Legal Funding has been a great help to my practice and, more importantly, my clients.

Who Are We
Financial Industry Insiders Committed To Helping The Injured
We, Jay Kobak and Robert Gentili, spent many years in the financial industry offering investment advice to attorneys. While getting to know these attorneys, we heard their frustrations and disappointments regarding their clients’ legal funding issues. One day, we decided to sit down with a small group of the top trial attorneys in New York City to find out how we could make a difference in the legal funding industry.
It was our belief that this industry needed a change. It was time for a facelift. If we formed a company that had an old school approach and did business with integrity and reliability, we could grow to be an industry leader.
In January 2006, we established 5 Star Legal Funding, LLC.
5 Star’s Mission is to provide the best service to its attorneys, as well as offering and delivering the best product to injured clients. If we achieved these objectives, we would become the premier non-recourse advance company in the country.
We decided to execute our plan by offering:
- The best posted non-compounding rates in the industry
- Capped advance payoffs
- Surgical funding, when insurance is not available to the injured, at the same low rates
As more attorneys and clients realized the benefits of doing business with us, the company expanded its reach outside of New York’s Tri-State area into other markets nationwide, including Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Nevada, and California.
As we grew in size, we decided we needed help to facilitate this growth and brought on board long time friends Jason Miller and Chris Mollica. We knew that these two would be a perfect fit to help continue the rapid increase in business that 5 Star was experiencing.
The team now formed would be committed to reforming the legal funding industry’s blemished reputation.
After 10 years of developing a strong company with a great product, responsive to attorneys and clients’ needs, 5 Star Legal Funding now works with over 425 law firms nationwide.
Every attorney and every client is taken care of by a firm Partner or a personal Relationship Manager. Never An Operator!
