Different From Other Lawyers

Law firms are typically perceived as too expensive, as the hourly rates charged often exceed the realized recoveries. Since we approach each case on a contingency basis, we only charge our clients a fee when we recover money for them.

Most law firms also do not have the sophisticated in-house investigative skills and tools that we do for skip- and asset- tracing through our collections support services provider Collectrite Credit Bureau Collecitons.  Combined with our sophisticated legal skills and our firm’s focus on unsecured debt collection only, we have specialist expertise that enables us to out-perform other law firms.

Contingency based collection means that payment for our work is contingent upon our success. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to collect, you pay no fee.

Testimonials

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.
