How Do I Get Started?

To get started, submit an intake form. This form will require some basic information from you in order to create your file. 

You should have the following information ready when submitting your intake form:

  • Type of collection (businesses, individuals or both)
  • Rough estimate of how much money you are looking to collect
  • Rough estimate of the number of accounts you are looking to collect on
  • Average length of time the debts have been outstanding
  • Number of employees at your business
  • Your industry

Fees are generally 35 percent of recoveries, adjusted for the age and collectability of the debt, and paid only if money is recovered, plus disbursements.  100% of disbursements recovered from the debtor are repaid to you.

Advantages of Auto Litigation

To get started collecting your delinquent accounts, we will need to enter into a lawyer-client relationship by your completing and signing and then our firm signing and returning to you a retainer agreement.  Click here to get started or contact us at 519 654 7350. 

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.
