That’s why we support a dedicated team offering you centralized claim review, analysis and debt recovery management.

Our collection services are nationwide and include an established national network of experienced attorneys for issues outside of our footprint states. We work with local counsel in other states to ensure cases are handled and reported effectively, providing you with single-source coordinated service and accountability.

The Commercial Loan Collection & Litigation Group includes a team of experienced attorneys, collectors and support personnel with the proven ability to aggressively work files and service the needs of collection agencies and commercial accounts. Our attorneys provide direct legal representation throughout Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. We understand the law lists and utilize the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA) sliding scale rates. Many of our attorneys are actively involved in the CLLA organization. With a solid reputation in debt recovery, Weltman subscribes to The American Lawyers Quarterly (ALQ), The Commercial Bar, and The General Bar.

Unique Contingency Call Center Collections Delivers Faster Results

Once our review team has identified your file as appropriate for a collection claim, our experienced commercial team can begin immediate recovery with a letter program and contacts to the commercial entity. Since many of your commercial balances vary in size, we often provide call center based collection services and loan workouts prior to any litigation. Our goal is to always affect the highest dollar recovery in the timeliest and most cost-efficient method possible, working with your clients early on to restructure an obligation, establish a sufficient settlement or developing a voluntary repayment program as well as litigating claims and utilizing all post-judgment remedies.

Not Afraid to Say “NO”

Rather than just processing your matters without looking at alternatives, we often come up with ideas or approaches you may not have considered. We leverage our years of experience to formulate a plan we believe is the best way to proceed, always with your 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.
