OUR FOCUS

Our firm recognizes that our clients’ top priority is to turn accounts receivable into cash, but we also understand that our clients want accurate, timely and comprehensive reporting to provide the current status of accounts. Our firm is committed to providing these services, along with furnishing quick and accurate responses when questions arise, dispensing frequent and timely payment remittances, all at cost-effective, competitive rates.

At Stein & Stein, we understand our clients’ needs, expectations, and goals when it comes to collections and we have successfully built our practice by consistently meeting those needs.

Our firm’s focus is commercial and retail debt collection and litigation throughout the entire State of New York and, nationally, through an extensive co-council forwarding network. Our firm is an active member of the Commercial Law League of America, Commercial Collection Agencies of America, International Association of Commercial Collectors, Inc., and the New York State Creditors Bar Association. We are also listed and bonded with ALQ, General Bar, National List and Columbia Law List.

We routinely handle commercial and retail claims for unpaid goods and services, banking/credit unions (claims for personal and business loans, deficiencies owed upon installment contracts, promissory notes, and credit cards), insurance premiums and deductibles, fees owed to professionals (including medical, dental, legal and accounting services), media advertising, shipping and transportation, equipment leasing, utility providers, college tuition, and commercial and residential rent.

NEGOTIATORS AND LITIGATORS

First and foremost, Stein & Stein provides our clients with powerful litigation resources and judgment enforcement techniques to collect claim placements. Our experience in litigation has also taught us the value of resolving claims before they reach judgment as we understand our clients’ ultimate goal is the quickest path to payment. We pride our ability to negotiate pre-suit settlements in seemingly intractable situations as one of the most essential advantages we bring to collection.

EXPERT COLLECTION STAFF

Stein & Stein’s abilities extend beyond litigating claims. In fact, we have experienced and highly skilled paralegals on staff. Our paralegals work closely with our attorneys in a team approach to effectuate payment faster. Our team understands collection law and the value of our clients’ business relationships.

RESPONSIVENESS & RELIABILITY

Of course, even the most complete service is useless if you cannot access it quickly. We understand your need to gain status information and legal advice fast. In the great majority of cases, you will reach the person you are calling immediately. If our staff member is unavailable when you contact us, you can rest assured that we will quickly get back in touch with you without any delay.

ADVANCED COLLECTION METHODS

Stein & Stein uses the most advanced collection software. We are able to customize our reports to provide the exact information our clients require, including complete activity and status reports. The best way to describe our ability to track assets and conduct skip traces is tenacious. Our access to comprehensive national information networks gives us the ability to follow the trail wherever it may lead.

FEE ARRANGEMENTS

Stein & Stein generally works on a contingent fee arrangement. We structure our fees with collection agencies to account for their own fee arrangements and accommodate high volume placements with special rates.
