Are you sick of providing a service or selling a good and not being compensated for it? Our attorneys represent individuals and other attorneys who are owed money and offer legal counsel in the area of debt collection. As a matter of policy, we only take on cases in which the debt owed is $1,500 or greater. 

Collecting on an outstanding debt can be very difficult. In some cases, hiring a collection agency is not a cost-effective solution. Using a collections attorney can often elicit payment quicker and at a much lesser cost.

Many of our clients are other attorneys seeking to collect unpaid legal fees. It’s important to understand that suing clients can present some risks, but, if handled correctly, it is like any other contract action. We discuss all possible outcomes of suing an individual for outstanding debt with our clients. In many cases, a suit becomes a simple negotiation and does not need to be litigated.

Our attorneys provide cost effective legal counsel to ensure your collections action is worthwhile. In some instances, collecting outstanding debt is not worth the time, expense, and the consequences that may result. We take pride in always providing our clients with sensible advice that serves their best interests. 

How Post-Judgment Collections Work

A case does not always conclude after you are awarded a judgment. Until you have been paid according to the Court’s order, you may still need to fight for what you are due. Post-judgment actions are sometimes required to enforce a judgment. Mulyk Laho Law, LLC’s attorneys are experienced. We can help you secure the payments you are entitled to, procuring your judgment amount.

Post-judgment collection actions can be warranted in any type of case. Among other cases, our firm commonly represents other lawyers and professionals who are owed money from clients. There is a myriad of post-judgment collection remedies available, including but not limited to:

• Wage Deductions (Garnishment) – A certain percentage of a debtor’s earnings are deducted by the debtor’s employer and sent to the creditor until the debt is repaid in full.
• Non-Wage Garnishment – Money belonging to or owed to the debtor is taken from a third party. Most commonly this refers to taking money from the debtor’s bank account.
• Lien on Real Estate – A lien on real estate property gives the creditor the right have the property sold to satisfy the judgment in certain instances.

The attorneys at Mulyk Laho Law, LLC are familiar with post-judgment collection options available under Illinois law.
