Obtaining a judgment is often only the beginning of the process. Collecting on that judgment is where the real challenge begins. For more than three decades, Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. attorneys have practiced in the area of debtor and creditor rights and liabilities. During the last 10 to 15 years, our attorneys have focused primarily on representing individuals and businesses that are owed money, including judgment creditors seeking to recover what they are legally entitled to receive.

Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. is dedicated to proving them wrong. Among clients and colleagues, one of our collection attorneys has been called a “treasure hunter.” Through post-judgment discovery, asset investigations, enforcement proceedings, fraudulent transfer litigation, receivership applications, and other judicial remedies, we locate assets that debtors believe are beyond reach and pursue every lawful avenue to satisfy our clients’ claims.
