Our thorough understanding of the law, business and regulatory landscape related to the collections process makes us more than litigators.

We are licensed as attorneys in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Colorado, and Ohio. We collaborate with our clients and develop a collection strategy tailored to each client’s unique recovery objectives. Our attorneys manage a range of tools for a client’s claim, from clients’ claims from demand letter, telephone calls, credit bureau review, litigation, garnishment, skip tracing and asset searches, to post-judgment remedies and collateral recovery.

The Consumer Collections and Creditors’ Remedies group maintains policies and practices compliant with all applicable federal and state governing laws and regulations. Particularly important in the evolving regulatory environment, we tailor practices and procedures and implement the specific compliance requirements of our clients. Our goal is to eliminate regulatory risk for our clients by providing comprehensive compliance procedures at each stage of the recovery process.
