Debt Collection & Judgment Enforcement
Recovering what you are owed and turning judgments into payment.
Overview
What this involves
Unpaid invoices and ignored judgments tie up cash and time. A structured legal approach, from a firm demand to court proceedings and enforcement tools, often gets results that repeated reminders do not.
We help businesses and individuals recover commercial debts and enforce judgments and arbitral awards, including tools available under New York law such as information subpoenas, restraining notices and executions, and enforcement of judgments across state and national borders. Every case depends on its own facts, and no outcome can be guaranteed. We give you an honest assessment before you decide how to proceed.
