Albany Collection Attorneys
Our firm handles all payment disputes and collection scenarios:
- Enforcement of contracts
- Collection of accounts receivable
- Enforcement of personal guarantees and notes
- Obtaining and collecting of money judgments
- Filing and perfecting liens (including mechanic's liens)
- Commercial property foreclosure
- Fraudulent conveyances
- Creditors' rights in bankruptcy and adversary proceedings
Hacker Murphy is efficient and effective in establishing judgments and liens, including asset searches and taking depositions and affidavits. We will then employ whatever means necessary to secure money or collateral, including freezing accounts, garnishing wages, disgorging assets and forcing sale of real and personal property.
We also understand that heavy-handed tactics are not always warranted. We can formalize payout agreements with cooperative debtors or negotiate partial payment when full recovery is not feasible.
