• Redemptions

Our debt collection attorneys have years of experience assisting business owners and large corporations recover outstanding accounts receivables and bad debt.  In many cases, debt collection methods can result in recovery of most outstanding obligations without a lawsuit becoming necessary (due to the resulting apprehension of a prompt and substantial legal action occurring).  Our attorneys comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and actively achieve substantial recoveries for creditors of all sizes including banks, landlords, homeowners associations, retail companies, manufacturers, distributors, and small businesses.  At the Thurman Law Firm, we recognize that knowing when and how to settle a case is a valuable skill.  However, if litigation is necessary, we have an experienced staff of litigation lawyers that are experienced in collection remedies including liens and garnishments.

We can effectively serve our clients throughout all stages of the debt collection process, beginning with state court litigation and continuing through bankruptcy proceedings.  On quite a few occasions, our lawyers have successfully protected our clients’ interests in evicting tenants, recovering unpaid rent on behalf of landlords of Chapter 11 tenants, and preserving claims as being non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.  The Thurman Law Firm uses the most appropriate and cost-effective legal methods to collect delinquent receivables.
