Collections

After 25 years of collections, I have learned that collecting a debt is a skill. There is nothing I like more than to be able to send money to my clients. It is my job to help the debtor re-prioritize the debt owed to my client so that the debtor wants to pay my client first.

Sometimes this will simply involve a letter; sometimes it will involve a payment agreement; sometimes it will involve filing a lawsuit; sometimes it will involve the Courts and a Judge; sometimes it will involve a Constable or Sheriff with a Writ of Execution; and sometimes it will involve Turnover Orders, Charging Orders, Motions to Compel Discovery, Writs of Sequestration, Writs of Garnishment, and/or Writs of Attachment. Please see my Roadmap of a Collections Case for an illustration of some of these collection steps.

The cooperation or lack of cooperation exhibited by the debtor will generally determine how much work is required to get and keep the debtor’s attention focused on paying the debt. I am ready and willing to take as many steps as required to accomplish the collection for my client.

I keep my clients informed and involved during each step of the process. My clients receive copies of every letter I send and every document I file with the Court. At the end of each month, I send a detailed invoice of all actions taken during the month. No settlement is reached without my client’s approval.

As we are all created by God, I try to treat every person with whom I come in contact with dignity and respect, whether a debtor, opposing counsel, a court clerk, a judge, or my client. I have found that this approach has served my clients well over the years.

I handle collections for many different types of organizations, from Fortune 500 corporations, to local attorneys, to mom and pop owned businesses, to individuals.

In addition, it has been my pleasure to represent numerous check cashing companies. For more information on check cashing collections, please click here.
