FAQs About Collection Procedures
Here are a few of the more commonly asked questions regarding the collection process and procedures:
- Is there a time limit on how long I can take to pursue an outstanding debt?
While there are certain limitations for filing claims, generally speaking the sooner you file and proceed with your case, the better chance you stand to collect in the end.
- How much do your services cost?
Generally, collection matters will be handled on a contingent fee basis. Clients reserve the right to retain our office on an hourly basis.
- Once I submit an online claim form via fax or the web, are you now my attorney.
No. The use of the Internet for communications with the firm will not establish an attorney-client relationship and messages containing confidential or time-sensitive information should not be sent. Once our offices have received your information, we will contact you to follow-up and only then can attorney-client relationship be commenced.
- Besides submitting your Claim Form, what other information and documents do you need to evaluate my claim/case?
