Collections Fees

We represent clients on an hourly basis, or on a contingency fee (percentage of recovery) basis. There are occasions when we represent a client on a reduced hourly fee combined with a reduced percentage fee. At your initial consultation, the fee arrangements will be fully discussed and a written fee agreement outlining the arrangement signed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Collections Initial Interview


We will take the time to go over the facts to develop the best legal strategy for recovery of what you are owed, or for a defense if you are being sued.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Collections Judgments


We always keep in mind the costs and likely end result of litigation. Too often, clients get caught up in the emotions of a case and pursue their action vigorously to what appears to be a successful conclusion, only to find out that their hard-fought judgment is uncollectible. Although we may not be able to predict such a conclusion, we strive to obtain results for you that are beneficial and cost effective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Collections Small Claims

If the amount involved in the controversy is $4,000 of less, we generally will suggest that you pursue the matter in Small Claims Court, represent yourself or forward the matter to a collection agency. Unfortunately, relatively small cases (whether you are defending or suing) are cost prohibitive when attorney's fees are considered.
