If your debt arises from a construction project in California, 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, material supplier, design professional, or a supply house, you need a lawyer who is familiar with your special remedies. We effectively service clients who have cases between $10,000 and $2,000,000.
We are a quality 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 that we present for settlement 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 Assistants. 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 (charged by the hour). See our FAQ page on which is right for you and how to make the choice. We recover more money, more often than other attorneys or collectors.
If you are a contingent fee client and we don’t recover, there is no fee. The out-of-pocket filing fees for the court enforcement documents, motions, hearings, and liens and the fee for the process servers are generally small. See our FAQ pages concerning Costs.
If you are owed over $10,000 for a commercial debt, note, sale of goods or services, loan or because you gave someone credit.
If you loaned money or sold goods or services on credit and didn’t get paid, you have a good case for recovery
If you sold your time or products and didn’t get paid, we will pursue rapid collection for you.
If your debt is related to a construction project, other remedies, liens and security can often be pursued.
