Highlight Verified Client Reviews
John Darer Reviews was created as a way to highlight verified client reviews from people who have actually done business or consulted with John Darer as a structured settlements expert or settlement planning expert.
I deeply care about clients and strive to go above and beyond what is expected with every client, on each encounter. I want clients to be pleased with my services and am always receptive to verified client feedback about what we did right and the ways we can improve.
If you are new here: John Darer is a structured settlement expert and settlement planning expert with 40+ years in financial services. He holds the ChFC, CSSC, MSSC, RSP, and CLTC designations, maintains an A+ BBB Accredited rating, and has been A.M. Best Client Recommended every year since first applied. The verified client reviews on this site come from real people who have worked with John Darer — not anonymous posts on complaint sites.
Pro Bono Work
Furthermore, as the Structured Settlements Industry Watchdog, John Darer devotes more than 100 hours of pro bono work annually to answer questions of people with structured settlements created by others and/or concerns about structured settlement factoring experiences, and to restore calm and reassurance to the stress that callers may be going through.
I'm proud of the 5 star reviews on Google, Better Business Bureau (BBB), where we've had an Accredited A+ rating for over 21 years, Yelp, Birdeye, NiceLocal, and A.M. Best Client Recommended Expert Service Provider every year since first applied.

What Are Fake Reviews?
A fake review is a review written by someone who has not actually used the product or service. They can be written by friends, family, or employees of the company or people that I have written commentary about, or someone they hire to do so.
The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCC Act) bans fake reviews and imposes strict obligations on businesses to prevent and manage them.
On February 26, 2019, the Federal Trade Commission released a statement announcing its first case 'Challenging fake paid reviews on an independent retail website.'
In John Darer Reviews I intend to address negative reviews, the majority of which are not from customers and malicious fake reviews that may appear on websites whose owners do not care whether they are accurate or not. The postings on such sites are often puerile, salacious, having no substance, generally factually devoid ad hominem attacks created, sourced from or in the orbit of current and/or former members of the structured settlement secondary market or tertiary markets whose conduct may have been researched and reported about on my Structured Settlement Watchdog Blog. For the most part it's 'over the top' nonsense. If the outlandish nonsense were true, I would not be able to hold a license or be in business.
By addressing malicious allegations here, we control the response on our site, so that our customers and potential customers benefit. We do not elevate 'anonymous' trolls from Maryland, Florida, Missouri, or anywhere else on an extortionate gripe site, hiding behind their Section 230 security blanket, whose policy is to never remove anything (even with a Court Order) and proof that the allegations of the anonymous poster are not true. My reviews will include live links to prove the points we choose to make.
If you have an issue with the accuracy of any of our watchdog posts, please reach out with specifics and support. Thank you.
