How Can Hiring Wakefield Law for Business Collections Help Your Business?
Running a business is a hard job – often, as a business owner or executive with a business, you wear many hats. You can be the payroll department, IT department, and business growth manager (and that’s just what you have to do on Monday!) When it comes to getting paid for the services you render or goods you deliver, there’s nothing more important to the success of your venture. When unpaid invoices pile up, they don’t just disrupt your cash flow—they rob your business of the momentum you’ve worked so hard to build. At our firm, we believe your time and resources should be spent growing your business, not chasing down debts. Sure, you might be able to chase down a customer and finally get some payments, but how much time have you wasted? At Wakefield Law, we offer a smarter, more aligned way to handle business debt collection:
Why Contingency Fees Work for Your Business
Unlike traditional firms that charge by the hour—often adding cost uncertainty to an already frustrating situation—we only get paid if and when we recover money on your behalf. That means:
No upfront legal fees: You don’t pay us just to get started.
Aligned incentives: We succeed when you do—simple as that.
Cost predictability: Legal action becomes a business decision, not a budgetary gamble.
Often, getting a lawyer seems impossible or like it will derail an entire year’s budget. With a contingency fee arrangement, we only get paid when you do and we take our fee out of the funds that we recover from the customer who owes you the money.
Efficient and Vigorous Collection Efforts
Firms that work on a flat fee arrangement or by the hour might send template demand letters or waste time with inefficient legal processes. While we follow all required laws regarding the content of our letters, as mentioned above, we only get paid when we are successful in collecting money for your business. What that means is that we’ve found the best, most efficient ways to collect money. We use those tactics, with empathy and kindness when we deal with those who owe debts, to quickly get to a resolution that works for everyone.
Protecting Your Company’s Reputation
Our firm understands everyone has things going on in their lives. When we’re dealing with the other side, we’re firm yet professional—preserving your reputation and customer relationships whenever possible, while vigorously pursuing the rights your business is entitled to. We work out payment plans that work for you and for the former customer. We also take time to explain the matter to the former customer and make sure they feel listened to. Just because the matter arose out of a dispute doesn’t mean we can’t try to help everyone feel as comfortable as possible.
No recovery, no fee paid to us. No surprise bills. Just results.
