Collections Law

At McCarter & Smith LLP, we understand that unpaid debts can significantly impact a business’s financial stability and operations. Our Collections Practice is dedicated to helping clients recover what they are rightfully owed through efficient, ethical, and legally compliant methods. We represent businesses, service providers, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations in recovering outstanding accounts, whether from other businesses or from the estates of deceased individuals.

Our attorneys combine knowledge of debt recovery law with a deep understanding of commercial and probate procedures. We handle every stage of the collection process — from demand and negotiation to litigation, judgment enforcement, and post-judgment recovery. Our team is committed to resolving matters swiftly while maintaining professionalism and preserving our clients’ reputations.

We manage two primary areas of focus within our Collections Practice:

• Estate Collections: Recovering valid debts from the estates of deceased individuals through proper probate channels, ensuring compliance with notification and filing deadlines.

• Business Collections: Representing client businesses in recovering unpaid commercial accounts, invoices, and contracts through negotiation, structured repayment, or litigation when necessary.

  
  

At McCarter & Smith LLP, our goal is simple — to help you recover what is owed while maintaining integrity, transparency, and respect in every transaction.
