A Team of Collections Attorneys Who Can Help Both Creditors & Debtors
Does someone owe you money? Is someone trying to collect a judgment against you? Whether you’re a creditor or a debtor, we can help you. If someone owes you money, sometimes it’s easier, and cheaper, to attempt to negotiate a settlement before a lawsuit is initiated. If a settlement is not possible, you can sue the person and obtain a judgment. Then you have to try to collect your judgment. There are many tools at your dispense to collect. You should always consult with an attorney to determine what best meets your needs. Whether it’s a creditor’s exam to determine assets to levy upon or a garnishment, we can help you determine what is best and execute a plan to get you your money. Other options for collecting a judgment include judgment liens, mechanics liens or construction liens. If you’re not after money, but property or something else, there are special equity laws that are different than obtaining a money judgment. We can help you with this too and make sure you get what you want.
On the other hand, if someone is coming after you for a debt, we can help you with that too. Again, we can help you negotiate a settlement before a lawsuit is started against you. If the parties can’t reach a settlement and you are sued, we can defend you. If a judgment has already been issued against you, we can still help you. We can help you negotiate a settlement or file a motion for installment payments in lieu of a garnishment.
Small Claims
Sometimes your best option is to go through small claims rather than the district or circuit court. However, it is important to remember that either party can remove a small claims action to either the district or circuit court. Small claims is a nice tool to have and remains the best option for small sums of money. The maximum amount you can sue for in small claims is $5,000.00. Although neither party is allowed to have an attorney in small claims, we can still help you prepare and review your documentation. Generally speaking, the best prepared party will prevail in the small claims case.
