  • 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

When Todd approached me, I offered him a trial as one of the firms we used. A year into the scheduled 18-month pilot, he had delivered impressive results. His firm was collecting two to three times as much as the average of the other four law firms we used in Ontario. We dismissed the lowest performing law firm, giving all its business to Todd’s firm. At the end of the 18 months, we boosted Christensen Law Firm’s share. . . to 80 percent, the maximum we will allow.
