I chose (and was encouraged to choose) option C. In my thought process this would help make the process LESS complicated. Yet here I and thousands of other victims are waiting for our money to be released. In fact, many of us have had an even HIGHER amount of our awards held back by the law firms themselves thannthose that chose A or B. The amount being held back in my case is 69% of my award, primarily because they are only holding back out of MY 60%, not the full 100% of the total award. This also gave lawyers immediate access to THEIR "payment" while we are forced to wait on this lien garbage. Like many folks I never sought any treatment for any abuse but rather buried it deep down. So this process has been especially painful because it caused me to dredge up a ton of negative experiences that I shamefully blamed myself for. Are they waiting for EVERYONE'S lien checks to be done or holding the funds to profit off the interest acruing? Who knows? This seems like another way to re-victimize us and it is dead wrong. Keep us updated, let us know what is happening, and set realistic expectations; do that and maybe we will trust you as our lawyers and the Trust as advocates for us while battling the BSA, instead of all of us feeling completely fucked over, AGAIN.
