- We pride ourselves on our mastery of the Rules of Civil Procedure and the relevant statutes and case law.
- Our understanding the complex nature of collections such as garnishments, bankruptcy, probate, and foreclosure allows us to be particularly effective in resolving these cases.
The cases we typically win:
- Retail – We collect against consumers for all types of debts such as credit cards, medical bills, utilities, and many others.
- Commercial – We handle secured and unsecured debts for small and large businesses. We have represented business such as banks and other lenders, landlords, equipment lessors, contractors, and insurance companies. These claims often involve a breach of contract, and we are as comfortable relying on a statement of account as we are with enforcing personal guarantees.
- Foreign Judgments – We are happy to continue to assist attorneys, individuals, and businesses across the country to register judgments taken in other states and enforce those obligations in Missouri
- Automobile Deficiency – We work with dealerships and banks when a balance remains due on an installment contract, or after repossession and re-sale of a vehicle.
- Replevins – We get your stuff back! When our clients are entitled to possession of leased goods, we quickly secure an Order for Immediate Possession. We do this especially quick when there is a danger of someone destroying or taking your property. We then pursue the amount owed that remains unpaid.
- Landlord Evictions – We represent landlords in evictions and collections. Please click HERE to visit this section.
- Construction – We file mechanics’ liens on real estate, as well as pursue the lawsuit to enforce the obligation. We also use the Missouri Public Works Prompt Pay Act (section 34.057 R.S.Mo.) and the Private Prompt Pay Act (section 431.180 R.S.Mo) when applicable.
- Post-Judgment – Some clients come to us already having secured a judgment, but have been unable to collect anything from the defendant. We can help you execute on your favorable result.
