Can't a collection agency resolve my small business debt?
A collection agency cannot give legal advice, file a lawsuit, or represent you in court – such an agency can only write demand letters on your behalf. Moreover, a collection agency can charge upwards of 50% of your debt to work on your behalf, so once you resolve your debt (if successful), you are obligated to pay the agency a handsome portion of your money.
A debt collection attorney, on the other hand, will know the legalities, give you legal advice that is of your best interest, and adapt to advise you. Attorney fees are typically less than 20% of your debt.
How much does a debt collection attorney charge?
There are a few key fees you should bear in mind. For one, your business will need to cover the cost of filing a court case which varies from district to district. If you win the case and collect your debt, you will need to pay your debt collection attorney a fraction of the money you collected to cover their legal fees. We encourage you to inquire about our fee structure so you can determine if going to court is the best way to resolve your small business debt.
How can you determine if a debt collection attorney is the right fit for you?
In general, we encourage prospective clients to read an attorney’s references, assess their skill set and experience, and schedule a legal consultation before working with an attorney. It’s important to know if your case can be handled by the attorney in question before you have them file a lawsuit on your behalf or represent you in court.

Will my debtor cover the legal fees?
In some cases, a court judgment in your favor will require your debtor to cover your attorney fees. Since legalities vary by county, it’s important to discuss the legal situation at length with your attorney.
