Submit a Claim NowProfessional services firms know the frustration of unpaid invoices. Here's what you're dealing with:
Clients expand your work beyond the engagement, then dispute the final invoice claiming you exceeded scope.
Disagreements over how retainer funds were applied, leaving thousands in unpaid invoices.
Clients claim deliverables don't meet specs, withholding payment while you've already invested resources.
Promises of imminent payment that never materialize, tying up your cash flow for months.
Clients go silent on invoices, forcing you to chase them down repeatedly.
In-house collections and litigation drain resources without guaranteed recovery.
Our proven 4-step process recovers your unpaid invoices risk-free:
Submit your unpaid invoice with supporting documentation. We assess claim viability and enforceability.
Our team issues formal demand letters and negotiates directly with the debtor to reach settlement.
If negotiation fails, we pursue small claims court, arbitration, or litigation—you pay nothing upfront.
Once recovered, we remit your funds minus the 15% contingency fee. Case closed.

California law strongly protects professional services firms in debt recovery:
Requires clear engagement letters. Well-documented service agreements are highly enforceable in collections.
California courts strictly enforce written engagement letters and service agreements against debtors.
Even without a written agreement, California law allows recovery for reasonable value of services rendered.
Clients who receive and acknowledge invoices implicitly agree to pay, strengthening your legal position.
