There is nothing more frustrating for individuals and businesses then having a right to payment by a debtor who refuses to pay. In such situations it may be necessary to peruse collections proceedings against the debtor promptly before you miss the opportunity to recover. However, the process of collections is ripe with state and federal law and safeguards against certain practices, with the aim of ensuring the protection of debtors. It is crucial to seek competent legal counsel to avoid the risk that you might be liable for damages for trying to collect against a debtor.

Similarly, individuals and businesses that are forced to pay for the debt of another may have a right of subrogation to collect damages from the responsible party. Subrogation proceedings can be a complex area of law that requires a firm to be well-versed in litigation, subrogation law and practice, as well as the area of law upon which they sue. Gorinshteyn & Watkins, LLC has experience in providing competent legal representation for such claims.
