Comprehensive National Collections + Legal Strategy

Weltman has established a national litigation network of experienced attorneys to handle matters outside of our footprint states coverage area across the United States. We remain actively involved with local counsel throughout the legal process and monitor the handling and reporting of cases, providing you consistent service and accountability in every state.

Not Afraid to Say “NO”

Rather than just processing your matters without looking at alternatives, we often come up with new ideas or approaches to your files. The knowledge we’ve gained from our years of experience allows us to propose and formulate a plan of action which may have not been previously considered. We work with our clients to keep their best business interests in mind. We don’t hesitate to make hard decisions, including advocating settlement when the costs outweigh the result. Don’t be surprised if we suggest alternatives that may be more cost-effective to your organization.

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, progress reports detailing account activity, performance statistics, inventory lists and accounting information.
