Commercial collection
Unpaid invoices, breached contracts, and account balances for businesses. I handle the demand, the lawsuit when needed, and the work after judgment.
Creditor law
From judgment to payment.
Creditor rights work is the focus of my practice. I represent businesses collecting debts and holders of difficult judgments.
A niche I have practiced for years
Collection work is often treated as an afterthought. It is not. The file that looks simple on day one — an unpaid invoice, a judgment from another state, a workers’ compensation award that never got paid — usually turns on venue, timing, exemptions, asset location, and whether the other side will actually respond.
I have handled these matters for businesses and for individuals who are owed money. I have also presented continuing legal education seminars for other lawyers on debt collection law. As a boutique law firm, clients have direct access and can expect diligent service.
Matters I handle
Indiana creditor rights
Workers’ compensation judgments
Awards that have already been entered still have to be collected. I pursue payment of workers’ compensation judgments against employers and carriers who have not paid.
Out-of-state judgments
A judgment from another state does not collect itself in Indiana. I domesticate foreign judgments and then use Indiana collection tools against local assets.
Unpaid injury judgments
Winning a personal-injury case is not the same as getting paid. I work to enforce unpaid injury judgments through available post-judgment remedies.
Judgment collection generally
Garnishment, proceedings supplemental, liens, and related enforcement — the detail-heavy work that turns a piece of paper into money.
Post-judgment discovery
Finding wages, bank accounts, and other assets that can be reached after a judgment is entered — then using the tools Indiana law allows.
How this work usually starts
- 01
The facts, not the story
Who owes what, on what document, and what has already been tried. Bring the contract, the judgment, the award, and the correspondence.
- 02
Whether collection is realistic
A judgment against someone with no assets is a different case than a judgment against a going business. I am honest with clients about the feasibility of collection efforts.
- 03
Demand, suit, or enforcement
Some files need a letter. Some need a lawsuit. Some already have a judgment and need Indiana enforcement tools. We pick the step that matches the file.
