The firm handles a broad variety of cases in Northern Indiana, in both state and federal court. Our goal is to provide efficient legal collection service at competitive rates. We offer several methods for fixing the firm’s rate of compensation. Contingency fee rates are the most common in the collection of delinquent accounts. Mortgage foreclosures, mechanic liens, repossession and attachment actions and bankruptcy work does not lend itself to contingency fee arrangements. The firm is willing to discuss different fee packages, including hourly rates, and flat fees in representing its clients.
