What started in representing banks in collection matters, evolved into the collection of debts owed to our clients paid. While our core business has always been representing banks, we represent small sole proprietorships to multi-million dollar corporations. We have experience in matters ranging from repossession and disposition of collateral, to domesticating and collecting a foreign judgments in Texas, as well as domesticating a Texas judgment in another State, and having the judgment abstracted and recorded in that State.

When a client consults with us about a collection matter, we strive not only to collect the debt, but also advise our clients about their business practices to minimize the risk of non-payment. Our clients are reminded that the collection of a debt starts with the first contact with the customer.

Almost any lawyer can obtain a judgment for a client when suing on a Promissory Note, Contract, Lease or open account. We never forget that is the actual collection of money that our client desires. There is nothing more rewarding to us than sending a check to our clients.

Successful collection often depends upon information obtained about the debtor, and how that judgment is handled after entry. We take those extra steps to acquire as much knowledge about the debtor as possible. We search public records, filing with the Secretary of State, divorce filings, and other sources of information about the debtor. We are not "glass house" attorneys. When economically feasible, we get out of the office and drive by the debtor's place of business and/or residence.
