For the sums listed above, we undertake non-judicial collections work including but not limited to sending a series of attorney-reviewed collection letters, and attempting to contact the owing party to work out a payment arrangement in full for our client. These may inolve a payout scheme. We draft all necessary documents involved. We demand your attorneys’ fees back from the owing party in most cases. Non-judicial methods commonly include asset trace work depending on the case, demand letters, negotiating with the debtor, or their attorneys by telephone.

If the initial activity is unsuccessful in resolving the unpaid debt, we will review the account to determine if circumstances warrant additional non-judicial activity, or the filing of a lawsuit against the party. At that time we will consult with you to determine whether you wish to pursue a judicial collection of the debt.

In the event that non-judicial methods are not successful, our firm then may undertake judicial collection in some circumstances where it is cost-effective for the client for us to do so. Judicial methods commonly include pre-judgment attachments, garnishment, and the filing of a collections lawsuit. Our judicial collection work is separate from our non-judicial work, and covered by a different agreement and fee with our client where the client chooses to have us perform these services.
