Commercial Litigation

Commercial Litigation

Almost every aspect of business is impacted by what is generally referred to as “Commercial Litigation” or “Business Litigation.” It is difficult or impossible to define the total scope of Commercial Litigation, since the scope of legal involvement of business is virtually limitless, encompassing everything from an individual conducting an ordinary transaction to disputed complex commercial matters involving multiple parties crossing over various areas of law.

Post-Judgment Execution

Post-Judgment Execution

Judgment Liens

If a debt collection case that is not settled results in a money judgment in your favor, and the debtor fails to pay the judgment in full, William R. Wohlsifer, PLLC, can pursue judgment enforcement and execution. Typically, the first step is to record the money judgment in the county, or counties where the judgment debtor owns real property or conducts business, to create a lien that can be executed or foreclosed upon in that county.

Foreign Judgments

Foreign Judgments

A “foreign judgment” refers to a money judgment obtained in any state or federal court outside of Florida. A foreign judgment must be domesticated through a Florida court proceeding before it can be executed in Florida. Our judgment domestication practice begins with the filing of a legal action for domestication of your out-of-state judgment in a state or federal court situated in a Florida county where the judgment debtor owns real property, personal property, or conducts business. A successful outcome will create a lien that can be enforced or foreclosed upon through the Florida court system. If the foreign judgment debtor does not respond to the initial domestication process, the clerk of court will enter the judgment into the public record. However, if the foreign-judgment debtor objects to an action for domestication, or challenges the judgment’s validity, the domestication action is no longer primarily procedural, but becomes an adversarial proceeding and subject to full adjudication in a Florida court, or competent Jurisdiction.

Contingent Fee vs. Hourly Fee

Contingent Fee vs. Hourly Fee

We are frequently asked which is better; a contingent or an hourly fee? Each has advantages and disadvantages. There can be no certainty of how much legal work is necessary, how long it will take or whether it is economically justifiable to incur legal fees. Some debtors file bankruptcy, become insolvent, die, disappear or conceal assets. Others settle quickly. Winning cases is generally far easier than collecting the money.

COMMERCIAL DEBT COLLECTION LAW:

Contact William R. Wohlsifer, PLLC,  for a free consultation about our COMMERCIAL DEBT COLLECTION practice. We pursue debt recovery to the fullest extent of Florida civil law, including contempt of court, when appropriate. We invoke all reasonably available collection remedies to recover money due our clients, whether by wage garnishment, bank and brokerage account garnishment, levy and execution of personal property, foreclosure of real property, etc.

We are not a collection agency; we file lawsuits. Our law practice focuses on commercial debt collection practices for out-of-state creditors and plaintiffs in pursuit of money owed from Florida residents and Florida businesses. If there is no recovery, there is no legal fee; the client pays only for pre-approved costs incurred.
