In a fast paced business economy, the growth of small to medium-sized businesses is often hindered by commercial collection problems. When an issue of commercial collection or other business dispute arises, it is essential that it be resolved quickly and inexpensively.
What we offer
Where litigation is required, the commercial collection process entails two distinct steps. First, reduce what your business is owed to an enforceable judgment and, second, collect on that judgment. Reducing a dispute to judgment through litigation need not always entail full-blown discovery, and rarely if ever involves proceeding all the way to trial. In fact, summary proceedings, including the initiation of suit without filing a summons and complaint by moving immediately for summary judgment, are just some of the ways we may be able to hasten a case’s progression through the courts.
Through our relationships with investigative services and law enforcement, including federal marshals in and out of New York State, we are also highly skilled at converting your judgment into money. Our post-judgment collection techniques include seizure, levy, turnover proceedings, and restraining orders, often served upon dozens of financial institutions at once.
Most important, our aggressive collection activities frequently lead to prompt settlements favorable to our clients. And while settlement negotiations sometimes require payment terms or discounts in order to resolve a dispute, aggressive litigation often so constrains non-paying businesses that they lose the conventionally perceived advantage of “holding the purse strings.”
Finally, mediation and arbitration can sometimes provide an alternate means of seeking redress where available and are ordinarily reviewed in depth prior to filing suit on our client’s behalf.
