Business Debt Collection and Payment Disputes Attorneys

There are many situations where an experienced debt collection law firm is needed. When you have executed a large commercial contract for providing products or services and the other party fails to pay for the delivery, your business can be severely harmed financially. More importantly, not only are you facing lost profits and the costs involved with fulfilling the contract, but your reputation for enforcing your rights can be called into question if you do not take immediate action to collect on a debt.

The law offices of E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy actively assists creditors in obtaining judgments and collecting on business debts. We provide cost-effective services, out-of-court and in litigation, to businesses and individuals in the Greater Capital District and across New York State. If you or your company is owed a significant amount of money from a business transaction, services rendered or sale of property, our experienced Albany debt collection attorneys have the tools and proven strategies to maximize your recovery.

Albany Debt Collection Lawyers Who Understand NY Laws

The E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy legal team has vast experience handling all payment disputes and collection scenarios, including:

• Enforcement of contracts
• Collection of accounts receivable
• Enforcement of personal guarantees and notes
• Obtaining and collecting money judgments
• Filing and perfecting liens (including mechanic’s liens)
• Commercial property foreclosure
• Fraudulent conveyances
• Creditors’ rights in bankruptcy and adversary proceedings

Our experienced attorneys are efficient and effective in establishing money judgments. Our collection efforts include conducting asset searches and taking debtor’s depositions to locate assets. We employ all means necessary to collect those assets, including freezing accounts, garnishing wages, seizing property and forcing the sale of real and personal property. Our firm also will commence litigation seeking to pierce the corporate veil when appropriate.

It is important to note that we understand that heavy-handed tactics are not always warranted. We can formalize payout agreements with cooperative debtors or negotiate partial payment when full recovery is not feasible.
