Litigation Process

In the event that collection efforts fail to produce a result acceptable to the client, Silver & Associates, Ltd., has contracted with considerable legal resources across the United States who are immediately available to commence litigation on a client’s behalf.

• Silver & Associates will not initiate suit on any file without the client’s authorization.
• To expedite the initiation of suit, Silver & Associates will advance the court costs on all files that the client has given authorization to litigate. We will then invoice the client accordingly.
• All attorneys are licensed and bonded
• Silver & Associates personally interviews a majority of its respective law firms to confirm their familiarity and experience with the nature of our clients claim. This substantially reduces the necessity for the client to provide witnesses at trial.
• The majority of law firms do not require advance non-contingent suit fees.
• All un-used court cost and/or suit fees are promptly refunded to the client.
• All debtor proceeds received from the attorney are immediately remitted to the client. (Most agencies hold attorneys checks over 21 days before remitting to clients).
• All commercial accounts will be investigated through the Secretary of State Corporations Division to confirm their validity and ascertain additional information to assist in the litigation process.
• Our collection staff will personally assist and counsel the client in how to properly execute an affidavit or assist in answering interrogatories, etc.
• To simplify and expedite reporting process on litigated files, Silver & Associates legal secretaries will re-edit all applicable attorney correspondence.

Attorney fees are generally 10% above our normal contingency rates.
