An overview of the collections process
-Receipt and review of your files

-Demand letter Attorney Katz sends a letter to the debtor demanding payment. If the debtor responds to the letter, he consults with you to see if you want to discount the debt and work to set up a payment schedule.

-Lawsuit If the debtor does not respond, Law Offices of Stuart Katz seeks your permission to file a lawsuit. Once a suit is filed, attorney Katz moves quickly to obtain a judgment in your favor before trial. Although rare, if trial becomes necessary, he vigorously defends your right to collect payment.

-Judgment A judgment gives attorney Katz the opportunity to get the debtor's attention. He attaches liens on the debtor's real estate and moves to file wage garnishments to secure payment on the debt. These garnishments take money from the debtor's bank account, paychecks and any other sources of income. If he cannot locate a debtor's place of employment, he can force the debtor to appear in court for a post-judgment deposition and testify about the finances.

-Enforcement If the debtor fails to appear at the deposition, attorney Katz can have that debtor jailed for contempt of court. He usually reaches out to the debtor before this becomes necessary, but if people continue to refuse to pay what they owe, Stuart A. Katz has no problem with sending them to jail.
