Los Angeles
Collection Attorney

Los Angeles, California Skyline from a Distance - Greenbaum Commercial Collection Attorney Location Graphic

Are you looking for an experienced collection attorney for your commercial debt? We provide top-notch legal services to clients worldwide who have collections claims in Los Angeles, California.

Our collection services are different than most in that we don’t forward collection claims around the state for another attorney to handle the litigation for our clients. We handle the litigation on all collections claims we place, regardless of where they are located in California.

Our Proven Process for Collecting Commercial Debt in California

Open the case

As soon as we receive your file, we open a formal collection case and set the strategy. We don’t use letters or phone calls unless the law requires them.

Investigate quickly

We attempt to verify the debtor’s location, identity, and potential assets to determine the most effective path to recovery.

File the complaint

Within a few days, we draft and file a complaint in the proper California court.

Serve the debtor

We handle service of process promptly—by personal service, substituted service, or another method permitted under California law.

  • If no response to the suit, we request a default from the court.
  • If the debtor doesn’t answer on time, we move for default and pursue a default judgment.
  • If contested (the debtor responds or answers) we litigate to get you a judgment.
  • If the debtor defends, we advance through discovery and pretrial to position the case for a favorable judgment or a strategic settlement.

Enforce the judgment

If the case hasn’t resolved,  judgment is entered. Once a judgment is entered with the court we begin enforcement immediately using all available legal remedies—liens, bank levies, wage garnishments, and enforcement of out-of-state or international judgments and many other techniques we have learned over the years that are pressure to pay.

Convert wins to payments

At each stage, the goal is the same: turn court results into actual recoveries for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will Greenbaum Law Group Start Collecting My Money?

Some cases can be collected within the first 30 days and others are never collected. Generally, most successful collections of money become apparent shortly after the lawsuit is served. 

We generally know if the collection will be easy, even if contested, within the first 120 days. 

While it is sometimes possible for a debtor to delay in court for months or even years, most collection cases are easy to win and harder to collect than regular court cases. That means, even in a contested case, our California debt lawyer can provide you with a good projection quickly.

How Much Will My Debt Collection Cost with Greenbaum Law Group?

Greenbaum Law Group offers hourly and contingent fee schedules. For contingent fee cases we request an initial deposit to cover the initial out-of-pocket costs of beginning your action. Please review our “About Costs” page for more information on what the out-of-pocket costs are and how they can be recovered. 

How Involved Do I Need to Be?

After we receive a new file, we conduct our investigation and file initiation. We will call and interview you on the phone for relevant facts, information, ideas, and tactics so we can get a  feeling for who our target is and what the best plan of attack is.

Are Demand Letters Effective for Collecting Commercial Debt?

Demand letters rarely motivate debtors to pay what they owe, especially in commercial cases where larger sums are involved. At Greenbaum Law Group, we don’t waste valuable time sending letters or making phone calls that debtors can ignore. 

Instead, we take direct legal action as soon as the law allows. The only time we send demand letters is when California law requires them. Our litigation-first approach keeps the focus where it belongs: moving quickly to recover your money.
