Working with Ullenberg Law Offices.

Our Philosophy.

We recognize that in today's world, your business reputation is a valuable asset. Our efforts in assisting you to collect overdue debts should not damage that reputation.

We also realize that everyone can fall into a tough financial situation sometimes. We give every debtor we work with a chance to resolve the matter amicably.

However, we also realize that some people only pay debts they are forced to pay. We do not shy away from recommending and following through with litigation when necessary.

Fees.

If you're concerned about costs, let's discuss what we can do that will bring you the results you want.

In the past, we have worked with our clients (and even with their existing collection agencies) in hourly fee arrangements, flat fee arrangements, and contingency fee arrangements as well as combinations of these.

Most of our routine collection lawsuits are based on a contingency fee arrangement of 33% of the amount recovered before filing of a lawsuit, and 40% thereafter; plus costs. However, depending upon the average amount in dispute, how much time has lapsed since the last payment on the account, the type of account, and whether or not legal proceedings are necessary to perfect payment, the fees may be lower.

Sometimes, for large account collections, our clients prefer to pay for our services on an hourly basis. Our hourly fee is $250 per hour expended on the account.

We also provide some services at a set flat fee:

1. Custom Collection Letters for Your 3-Step Collection System.

$450

Includes all consultations and drafting services for three collection letters for use in your customized 3-Step Collection System, and preparation of your internal collection procedures customized for your industry and your business.

2. Wisconsin Construction Lien Procedure and Forms.

$450

Includes all consultations and forms needed to establish liens against real estate for construction services and a detailed internal collection procedure for processing the liens. (Final Claim for Lien may still need to be prepared on a case by case basis.)

Guarantee.

While collection of debts is too unpredictable to guarantee results, we do guarantee that we will give you a frank assessment of your collection case before any lawsuit is recommended or filed.

We also guarantee we will look out for your business reputation during all parts of the collection process, keep you informed of the status of your case, and be available to answer your questions.
