Often, the letter is mightier than the lawsuit

“Glenn helped me settle a business arrangement where money had been owed to me.  He used his creativity and tenacity to locate the individual, reference prior case law, and ultimately settle the situation without a lawsuit.  With just a few strategic correspondence, he helped end the lingering situation successfully.”  – Steve Y., Dallas, TX

 

Above is a nice recommendation from a former client of mine, Steve Y.  Steve was ready to give up on a bad debt, but let me take a shot at trying to obtain payment.  Of course, as a trial lawyer I am pre-programed to was sue first, ask questions later, but a lawsuit wasn’t something Steve wanted unless it was absolutely necessary.  So, we conducted an exhaustive public records search and discovered some pressure points we could use to help persuade the debtor to pay up.  We also found some Texas cases that showed our legal position was correct.  We drafted and sent three letters using the information and case law to our advantage.  In less than a week, Steve was paid in full.

This is an example of litigation risk management at work.  We solved a problem by our pre-litigation strategy, saving our client thousands of dollars in legal fees.
