Avoid Bankruptcy
It is easy for a business to get overwhelmed by debt, at times, given changes in the economy and natural business cycles. A judgment against your busines for unpaid debt can result in garnishment of checking accounts and a sheriff sale of business assets. Likewise, your personal assets could be at risk if you personally guaranteed any of the debt (such as line of credit or lease).
Take Action
Has any creditor filed or threatened suit? No problem. Our litigation attorneys can affordably prevent an immediate judgment against your company. Bankruptcy is one option. Another is defending suit and negotiating down the debt to an affordable payment plan that avoids the expense of bankruptcy.
How We Do It
Our litigation attorneys file a simple response to the law suit, which does three things. First, it prevents an immediate judgment by default. It also bolsters your negotiation position. Third, it can give you as much as 1.5 years before a judgment can be entered.
Defenses - Simple and Complex
We can keep it simple (and cost-effective) by making the Plaintiff prove its case. Often, Plaintiffs over plead their case: they seek attorney fees when none are recoverable, or they seek an interest rate on the debt to which the Defendant never agreed. At times, we mount an aggressive defense to the suit when we find a glaring procedural defect (statute of limitations, improper jurisdiction, illegal contract, etc.).
