Debt collection matters involving accounts where debtors are either unwilling or unable to pay and have no reasonable justification for non-payment are pushed to final resolution as quickly as possible. Immediately upon receipt of a file, it is acknowledged and reviewed by one of our attorneys or specially-trained paralegals, who swiftly contacts the debtor with a formal demand for payment. If satisfactory arrangements cannot be made for the expeditious liquidation of the claim, legal action is quickly instituted with the client's concurrence and approval.

Once in litigation, our firm routinely utilizes pre-judgment remedies to gain leverage over the defendant-debtor. Applications for provisional remedies, such as writs of attachment and/or possession, or motions for the appointment of a receiver, are often prepared, filed and served simultaneously with the Summons and Complaint. The commercial debtor soon finds itself facing some immediate consequences of its recent delinquency, with a court hearing date set only days away; many suddenly "find the time" to respond to previously-ignored demands for resolution. Over the past twenty-five years, we have found that the judicious use of these remedies not only exerts sufficient pressure on debtors to resolve these matters quickly, it also forces the early disclosure of any substantive defenses as economically as possible.
