We urge businesses in the region in need of a lawyer to handle their collections to contact an experienced business law attorney at Paladin Law Offices, PC.

Strategies for Debt Collection

We handle commercial collection cases efficiently and effectively for a number of small businesses in the greater Pittsburgh area. Our work on behalf of these clients utilizes all available strategies, including:

• Writing a payment demand or collection letter
• Filing a lawsuit
• Representing creditors when their debtors file for bankruptcy
• Issuing a writ of execution
• Identifying assets that could be seized
• Seizing assets, such as bank accounts, accounts receivables, and property
• Negotiating with debtors to obtain creditor relief
• Enforcing an execution of judgment

Why Businesses Should Use an Attorney for Commercial Debt Collection

We choose from these different techniques depending on the situation and response of the debtor. Whatever techniques we ultimately use, we know that any collection demand from an attorney is more powerful than one from a collection agency. The threat, either actual or implied, of legal action is one that few small businesses or individuals can ignore. That is why more small- and medium-size businesses are employing law firms to obtain overdue receivables.

See, for example, the case of In Re Main, 133 B.R. 746 (Bankr.W.D.Pa. 1991), where we fought for debt collection on behalf on a bondholder in federal bankruptcy court.

From Debt Negotiation to Litigation

Our business debt collection work is highly personal, targeted to meet clients' needs and reflect their business styles. We can be aggressive or not, as the situation demands. This flexibility means that our attorneys can serve a wide variety of businesses and organizations that need lawyers to handle their collection.

In our business and consumer collection activity, we understand and carefully comply with all legal requirements concerning ethical debt collection practices, including the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
