What Type of Debts Do We Collect?

Enforcement of Judgments

80% of judgments obtained are never collected because collections is a highly specialized area of law. If you already have a court issued Judgment that hasn’t been collected, we know how to enforce that Judgment and get your money. We use all the legal remedies the law allows to collect your money. We move fast and aggressively.

We are a trial law firm, not a collection agency or a mill operation. We Sue! We don’t send whiny letters and don’t usually even contact the debtors before we start the lawsuit unless required by law. We don’t make repetitive phone calls and have no phone collectors.

Most cases involving sales of goods or services have some form of written documentation. This can include email, contracts, correspondence, invoices, billings, a statement of the account or admissions of the debt. These are the documents which we present to the court, together with the testimony of the witnesses, that win your case.

We have a full staff of qualified and experienced Lawyers and Legal Professionals. We use all the legal remedies the law allows to collect your money. We move fast and aggressively.

We offer a choice between contingent fees (a percentage) or hourly fees (charge by the hour). See our FEES page on which is right for you and how to make the choice.

SISTER STATE JUDGMENT ENFORCEMENT

A Sister State Judgment is a Judgment entered in a court that is outside of Arizona. Out of State Judgments can be enforced under the Arizona version of the Uniform Enforcement of Sister State Judgments Act. If you already have a court issued Judgment from another State that hasn’t been collected and the Debtor or the Debtor’s assets are in Arizona, we know how to enforce that Judgment and get your money. We use all the legal remedies the law allows to collect your money. We move fast and aggressively. The procedure to enforce a Sister State Judgment is quick and easy. You don’t have to re-prove your case. We file an “authenticated” copy of the Sister State Judgment with the Arizona court, serve a notice and 30 days later we can start efforts at enforcement. Once we domesticate your foreign judgment in the State of Arizona, we will file the judgment with the County Recorder in which your debtor resides. Once recorded, that judgment acts as a lien against any property owned by the debtor in that county.

MECHANICS LIENS AND CONSTRUCTION DEBTS

If your debt arises from a construction project in Arizona, you may have added remedies available to help you collect your money. These may include Mechanics Lien rights, Stop Notice rights or Bond Claim rights. There are very technical requirements for each of these and we are fully familiar with construction payment remedies. If you are a contractor, sub-contractor, material supplier, design professional or a supply house, you need a lawyer who is familiar with your special remedies

JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE ON REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AND DEFICIENCY CLAIMS

If you have a debt to collect that is secured with a Trust Deed or a Security Agreement, there may be collateral that we can foreclose against and sell to pay the debt. If there isn’t enough collateral, or it becomes valueless, you may have a claim for a the amount that is not secured by land or other property (a deficiency claim).
