The Team

SettleUP was founded by three local Georgia born and raised business partners with young families, building SettleUP to make funding fair, fast, and stress-free for both attorneys and clients. Our team is based in Cartersville, GA priding ourselves on fast, reliable, relationship-driven service that makes attorney's lives easier and supports clients during a vulnerable time.

Hunter Horton

Founder & Business Development

"I wanted to start SettleUP Funding to provide the type of financial support that lifts people up during their time of need, not add to their stress or make their situation worse. That belief isn’t just professional, it’s also personal. I’ve always been drawn to work that makes a difference and treats people with the respect they deserve. I take pride in being a part of a team that’s committed to supporting both our clients and attorneys in a meaningful way."

Trent Frix

Founder & Business Operations

“I’m passionate about SettleUP because I believe funding should actually help people during a hard moment, not take advantage of them. I wanted to be part of building a company that’s transparent, fair, and aligned with doing the right thing for both clients and attorneys.”

Chase Rierson

Founder & Controller

"SettleUP was created to raise the standard in the funding space and to do business in a way that reflects God’s character and serves people well."

Kristy East

Office Manager

"I'm excited to be a part of a team that is dedicated and focused to being the industry-leader in not just fees, but relationships."

Olivia Bryson

Client Relations

"Being on the SettleUP team, I'm looking forward to ensuring we're providing the best service, system, and support for our Personal Injury Firm partners and their clients. If your law firm partners with us, we'll be seeing a lot of each other as I come around to visit and bring client appreciation goodies!"
