Our staff has relationships with court personnel who appreciate the fact that they are dealing with an experienced law firm who has a track record of handling matters in a timely and professional manner.

We will travel anywhere that our clients’ needs dictate. To enhance your staff development and education, Weltman provides first-rate online or in-person educational seminars. In addition, we will help keep you informed of current laws and trends through our industry newsletters, blogs and client advisories.

Our Initial File Review is Critical to Your Success

We will review each file to identify the proper recovery stream. We can move a file directly into front-end contingency collections, send the file to our asset search department or go directly to suit. This screening ensures your files are handled properly and expedited quickly, saving you time and money.

Reporting and Communications

Weltman utilizes the Internet for e-mail and document transmission. Through our password-protected eClientNet, we provide you access to your account work product, progress reports detailing collection activity, performance statistics, inventory lists and accounting information.
