The Stark & Stark Collections practice group, with collections coverage throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, is well known for its tailored approach to collecting unpaid debts owed to clients and is adept at customizing debt collection solutions that maintain the integrity of the clients’ branding while achieving bottom line driven results.
Every client’s situation dealing with delinquent customers or vendors is unique, so we work with our clients to develop the appropriate collection protocols, all of which comply with Federal and State Consumer Protection laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Our debt collection lawyers provide service extending beyond the recovery of debts on behalf of our clients. We regularly litigate in various collection cases at the trial and appellate levels, allowing us to provide additional value to our clients through structuring strategies and procedures that will assist in reducing future debt collection problems. Clients rely on our seasoned team of business law attorneys and paralegals to carefully and strategically collect their receivables with a skilled and professional eye.
At Stark & Stark, we’ve been assisting businesses and professionals with the collection of their unpaid accounts for over 70 years. Some areas of debt that we regularly collect are:
To effectively gather the information that is relevant to pursuing claims, the Stark & Stark’s Collections Group includes skip tracing and asset search teams with access to the latest technology, including online multiple credit bureaus, taxing authorities and public websites. Additionally, the team uses proprietary Commercial Legal Software (CLS) to streamline the collection process and save clients both time and money.
Additionally, members of the Collections Group are actively involved in the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA), as well as the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA). As a result of such national affiliations, Stark & Stark is able to assist its clients in the placement of collection, replevin, workout and bankruptcy accounts throughout the United States and abroad.
