SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Medical Collections
For many years, we have represented some of our region’s largest medical providers. Medical providers have a unique position in the community they operate in and often require a different representational approach. We always strive to promote a positive image of our clients in the communities they serve, while balancing the legal strategy to pursue outstanding receivables. All members of our team understand that medical bills can be unexpected and costly, but that’s no reason for patients or third-party payers to delay payment or try to shift that financial burden back to our clients. We view our role as an extension of the revenue cycle management process and routinely handle numerous types of accounts for our medical community, including hospital self-pay, and probate issues.
Workers’ Compensation Premium Collection
Our firm developed a niche many years ago by developing a lot of experience in the legal recovery of insurance premiums for unpaid workers’ compensation. We litigated on premium recovery cases and cases involving fraud and omitting employees throughout the state of Florida. Employee compensation insurance cases can be very complex, especially in the construction sector, and often involve large sums of money. Insurance carriers often occupy a delicate and visible position in the communities they serve, similar to our clients in the medical sector, and our collection strategies are sensitive and responsive to these issues.
Commercial Collections
Our firm, for good reason, counts some of the top commercial creditors as customers. For nearly 30 years, we have represented commercial creditors on issues involving advertising, insurance premiums (including workers’ compensation premiums), and all forms of commercial financing tools. Whether it is a complex structured workout that needs negotiation and management, or a forced liquidation, we can provide the experience and expertise to protect your interests and manage risk exposure throughout the entire process. Among other business groups, our lawyers are long-standing members of the American Commercial Law League and the International Association of Commercial Collectors.
Asset Recovery & Collateral (Replevin)
A client will often have collateral attached to a default account, or they may have a judgment in place and need to seize the debtor’s assets. Our firm routinely uses the legal system to acquire asset ownership, either in a collateral replevin or a post-judgment asset levy. Some assets may be spoiled or damaged if they are not recovered quickly and properly. Our firm has recovered various assets for customers including; baked goods, horses and livestock, boats and cars. If you need to pursue assets, please contact us today to see if we can help you recover possession.
Consumer Collections
Back in the late 1970s, we entered the consumer collections industry and remain an active participant. With approximately 50% of our caseload involving consumer-based accounts from some of the leading national and regional lenders, we have fully developed and detailed policies, processes and procedures to ensure full compliance with all consumer collection laws and rules. In protecting consumer data and in all our interactions with consumers, our regulatory compliance record reflects that we meet or exceed all benchmarks. Good people often experience bad things and we treat all consumers with respect, dignity, and compassion.
