Our Commercial Debt Litigation Department helps you and your business with defense against debt collection lawsuits at all stages of the litigation process, including evaluation of the appropriateness of the court in which the case is brought. We represent clients in matters arising out of commercial loans to your business and merchant cash advances. We will review all possible resolutions of your commercial debt matter, including potential claims against the creditor and negotiation of settlement. We offer a free consultation where we provide an evaluation of the claims asserted and discuss the possible course of action.  In this area of practice, the creditors often obtain a Confession of Judgment (“COJ”) at the outset of the loan. Our experienced attorneys can evaluate the propriety of the COJ, if you have any defenses to entry of the COJ, or if you can contest the enforcement of a COJ obtained in another state and then brought to the state where you reside.

In many states, corporations and other business entities are not allowed to be represented by anyone other than a lawyer.  That is, a member of the corporation cannot represent the company in court unless the representative is a licensed lawyer in the particular state. For this reason, it is important that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible or you may have a default judgment entered against you for lack of attorney representation.  Contact JJS Law today for a free evaluation of your case.
