Debt Collection Attorney in Fort Worth & Burleson, TX

Successful debt collection

REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF CREDITOR’S RIGHTS, DILIGENCE IN TRACKING DEBTORS DOWN, AND APPLYING THE POWER OF PERSUASION.

Debt collection is the process of collecting money, services, or goods owed by individuals or businesses. When obtaining timely payment becomes an issue, it is in your best interest to hire an attorney with debt collection experience. Without the right attorney, it is possible for the party in question to avoid payment.

How We Work to Secure Payment for You

At Lovelace Law, P.C., we use an assortment of tactics to obtain payment, beginning with a demand letter and following with a suit on account petition. Our attorneys make motions for both default judgment and summary judgment. 

  • Default Judgment: when a debt collection claim is filed, but there is no answer from the defendant, the count may enter a default judgment. The ruling is in the amount claimed by the plaintiff in the complaint, including interest. 
  • Summary Judgment: This type of judgment is less likely to be overturned than a summary judgment, but requires much more investigation and legal preparation. This motion requires both a notice and a hearing with arguments of counsel. The final decision is made by a judge. 

We also work with banks and other institutions to obtain payment of business debts through prejudgment writs of garnishment.

We provide collection services for anyone who needs them. Our clients include privately held companies of every size, professional partnerships, and individuals — large businesses are not the only ones susceptible to collection issues. Each and every one of these creditors face unique problems with accounts receivable. Our experienced attorneys apply tactics best suited to obtaining payment in collection disputes ranging from four to seven figures.

Threat of Bankruptcy

Filing for bankruptcy may be an issue when it comes to receiving payment. This process eliminates many different types of debt, including outstanding debts. If bankruptcy is filed, it can be difficult (to impossible) to collect what you are owed. Although filing for bankruptcy is somewhat of a long process, people who are severely in debt will often seek this course of action to avoid collection. Our attorneys are successful in obtaining payment despite the threat of filing for bankruptcy. With our expertise, you can expect to obtain the compensation you deserve.
