Global Commercial Debt Collection & Legal Services
Miller, Ross & Goldman provides our clients with comprehensive legal support in all 50 U.S. states through our nationwide network of commercial collection attorneys.
Although more than 90% of all commercial claims placed with us are successfully recovered free of any need for legal remedies to enforce payment through the courts, some situations may require a collection lawsuit to protect our client's financial interests.
When a lawsuit is prudent and necessary, we will contact you to discuss our recommendations and obtain your written authorization to proceed on your company's behalf. In the event we exhaust our collection efforts without a successful payment resolution, we will evaluate the merits of legal action through the process outlined below.
In most cases, the following criteria must be met to warrant consideration for legal action:
Provided these conditions exist, we will advise you of the advance costs and process necessary to move forward with formal legal action. Advance costs, including court costs, filing fees and process server fees, are always your company's responsibility, as the Plaintiff in a lawsuit. They routinely total less than $1k, depending on the legal jurisdiction where the suit is filed.
You will be invoiced for court costs, filing fees and service of process fees, which must be paid before legal action can commence. These additional costs will also be pursued from your indebted customer (the defendant), in addition to the past-due balance owed, whenever possible.
Some legal claims involve of complex range of situational elements that require a comprehensive amount of due-diligence, legal research, discovery etc. in order to build and present a solid and compelling case. In such instances, a contingency-based fee agreement without a non-contingent fee or hourly retainer may not be possible. These circumstances include:
In the event legal action against your indebted customer cannot be handled solely on a contingency basis, we will contact you to discuss an augmented strategy best-suited to the situation. Any time a non-contingent fee or hourly retainer is indicated, as our Client, you can be assured of the most competitive rate possible to aggressively pursue a successful outcome.
