  • Not a Traditional Law Firm

    We carry the cost burden of suing. Our clients only pay out-of-pocket disbursements until we recover money. That includes obtaining and enforcing judgment, defending groundless counter-claims and responding to meritless appeals.

BITE VS. BARK

As a law firm, we do not resort to the disreputable tactics that have given debt collection a bad name. As we can recover full interest and collection costs from a suit- worthy delinquent customer, we help your customer pay voluntarily or simply obtain and enforce judgment. No empty threats. No tricks. No fuss.

We generate thank-you notes, not complaints.

Pioneering Law Firm Contingency-Fee Collections with ScotiaBank

We were impressed with the results he achieved in the pilot we did with him.  The collection agencies we usually used for the files assigned him regularly settled the claims for a discount and often generated complaints from our customers whose business we hoped to win back when times were better for them.  On files agencies would have compromised, Todd recovered not only 100 percent of the amount owing, but also collection costs...

Testimonials

I supervised the legal work of Todd Christensen for The Bank of Nova Scotia’s Regional Collection Centre in Ottawa, Ontario back in 1994-1995. . . . The collection agencies we usually used for the files assigned him regularly settled the claims for a discount and often generated complaints from our customers whose business we hoped to win back when times were better for them. On files agencies would have compromised, Todd recovered not only 100 percent of the amount owing, but also collection costs. And we had not one complaint from our customers about how he treated them.

- Robert Kirby

Collectrite Credit Bureau Collections referred our office to the Christensen Law Firm after recovering $42,000 of a $140,000 delinquent debt owed to us by a commercial customer. Due to the poor results that we had in the past with paying lawyers by the hour, we were leaning towards writing off the remainder of the debt. Mr. Christensen put his money where his mouth is and offered to work on a contingency fee basis and charge only for upfront court costs. They assumed we were paying Mr. Christensen by the hour and would fold, but he was true to his word and didn’t charge any hourly fees; just a percentage of what he recovered. Mr. Christensen first won a motion for summary judgment on our behalf in Superior Court. Christensen Law Firm recovered $117,000 on our original debt of $98,000. Using Christensen Law Firm not only obtained the money that was owing to us; but it also gave us the satisfaction to see someone who had lied to us, cheated us and made false accusations against us; be held accountable and proven wrong in court.
