When businesses struggle to collect unpaid invoices, many turn to collection agencies as the first option. While agencies can be useful in limited situations, they lack the legal authority and strategic power that law firms bring to debt collection. If your business is serious about recovering overdue accounts a law firm is often the better choice.
At Frisella Law Firm, we specialize in nationwide commercial debt collection and contract litigation. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve seen firsthand why hiring a law firm is the smarter, more cost-effective path compared to relying on traditional collection agencies.
Here’s why law firms consistently outperform collection agencies in debt recovery.
1. Law Firms Have Legal Authority—Collection Agencies Don’t
Collection agencies can only call, send letters, or report debts to credit bureaus. They cannot file lawsuits, obtain judgments, or enforce collection through legal remedies.
Law firms, on the other hand, can:
-
File lawsuits for unpaid debts
-
Secure court judgments
-
Enforce payment through wage garnishments, liens, or bank levies
-
Navigate state-specific laws across all 50 states
Bottom line: A debtor may ignore a collection agency, but they take notice when an attorney gets involved.
2. Faster, More Serious Results
Debtors often treat collection agency calls as background noise. While your debt is being ignored, your debtor is paying someone else to stay in business. TIME is one of the most important variables when collecting; don’t waste it.
But when a letter arrives on Frisella Law Firm letterhead, it carries real weight. Businesses understand that ignoring an attorney could lead directly to litigation. They only get ONE LEGAL NOTICE. This credibility often results in faster response, faster settlements and higher recovery rates for creditors.
3. Better for High-Value and Commercial Debts
Collection agencies are often structured for consumer debts and small accounts. If you’re pursuing large invoices, B2B debts, or breach of contract claims, you need a law firm with litigation experience.
Law firms can handle:
-
Breach of contract disputes
-
Multi-state commercial collections
-
Complex corporate debt recovery
-
High-value judgments and enforcement
4. Compliance with State and Federal Laws
Law firms are bound by professional and ethical standards that don’t apply to collection agencies. Using a law firm ensures compliance and reduces your exposure to legal risk when collecting a debt. Furthermore, at Frisella Law Firm we understand our practice is a reflection of your business and practice the very highest ethical and legal standards.
5. Flat-Rate Contingency Fees Mean No Surprises
Many collection agencies stack on hidden fees, increasing costs over time. At Frisella Law Firm, we work on a flat-rate contingency fee—meaning we only get paid when you recover. There are no surprise charges or increased fees.
6. From Collection to Litigation—One Seamless Process
If a collection agency fails, you’ll eventually need to hire a law firm anyway. That means starting over, transferring files, and losing time. By working with a law firm from the start, you have a seamless path from demand letter to courtroom if necessary.
