Commercial collections across industries
Overdue trade accounts can tie up cash needed for inventory, suppliers, and day-to-day operations. We review supporting account records, communicate an appropriate attorney demand, and explore pre-litigation resolution within the agreed scope.
Businesses across industries, including distributors, suppliers, and service providers, can request a review of unpaid business accounts. Every matter requires conflicts clearance, attorney assessment, and written acceptance. No recovery or payment timing is guaranteed.
Choose the right starting point
All services require conflicts review, matter acceptance, and a signed engagement agreement. These descriptions do not create automatic representation.
Contingency collections · 35%
For qualifying commercial accounts of $10,000 or more. No upfront collection legal fee. No monthly subscription.
The legal fee is 35% of amounts actually recovered. The agreed scope includes account-document review, an initial assessment, and one attorney demand letter when appropriate, with pre-litigation settlement communications as specified in the written engagement. Agreed costs and expenses may apply even without recovery.
Not Ready for Full Collections? Start With an Attorney Demand Letter.
$1,250 Flat Fee.
You have emailed, called, and followed up, but the debtor still has not responded. If you are not ready for full collections representation or a 35% contingency, an attorney demand letter offers a defined next step.
A formal attorney demand adds legal seriousness and urgency to your request for payment and may prompt a response. It does not guarantee payment, and litigation is not inevitable.
This limited-scope service includes a limited review of relevant contracts, invoices, and payment correspondence; a tailored demand stating the balance claimed and its basis; a response deadline; one revision; and finalization and delivery of the letter.
No ongoing retainer. No contingency fee for this limited-scope service. No obligation to litigate. Negotiation, ongoing collections, litigation, and additional work are excluded and require a separate written agreement.
Subject to conflicts clearance, jurisdiction and the firm’s authorization to practice, matter acceptance, and a signed limited-scope engagement agreement. A request does not establish an attorney-client relationship. No response, payment, recovery, timing, or other outcome is guaranteed. Scope, expenses, and any required refund are governed by the signed agreement and applicable law.
Start with business names, approximate balance, invoice age, and any deadline. Do not send confidential documents or sensitive details before conflicts clearance and confirmation of representation.
Enterprise collections · proposed $14,950/month
For businesses with recurring commercial collection needs. Subject to a custom written agreement.
Proposed parameters: up to 10 new qualifying pre-litigation matters per month, a maximum of 30 active matters, and 0% contingency on work covered by the enterprise agreement. The monthly legal fee is payable regardless of recovery, subject to the agreement and applicable refund requirements.
The proposed scope may include document review, appropriate attorney demand letters, pre-litigation negotiations, and payment-plan coordination. Each matter requires separate conflicts clearance and written acceptance. Capacity, qualifying criteria, service periods, active-matter definitions, renewal, cancellation, unused capacity, expenses, and any additional work must be finalized in a custom written engagement. These are proposed discussion terms, not a promise of unconditional services or availability.
Filed litigation, court costs, local counsel, and substantial contested contract disputes are excluded and require separate arrangements. No commitment or payment is requested through this page.

Call (312) 804-1386 or email ronald@rdllawgroup.com.
For initial intake, provide only your name and business contact information, your business name, the debtor’s business name, the approximate amount owed, invoice age, and any upcoming deadline. Do not send confidential information, account numbers, documents, or sensitive case details before conflicts clearance and confirmation of representation. A review request does not establish an attorney-client relationship, guarantee acceptance, or extend any deadline.
Important scope, fee, and representation information
Qualifying commercial accounts
Qualifying accounts are documented business debts of $10,000 or more within the firm’s authorized practice and agreed scope. Every account requires separate conflicts clearance and written acceptance. An account means one creditor claim against one debtor arising from a single business relationship; multiple invoices may form one account. Consumer, personal, family, and household debts are excluded.
Pre-litigation scope and outcomes
We assess available documents and legal issues, send an appropriate demand, and discuss available settlement options within the agreed scope. You decide whether to accept a settlement. No recovery, payment timing, or outcome is guaranteed. Older invoices may become harder to collect; collectability depends on the facts and applicable law.
Litigation is separately arranged. Lawsuits, court appearances, arbitration, appeals, bankruptcy proceedings, judgment enforcement, and related costs are outside these offerings. Any such work requires a separate written agreement and may involve other counsel. We do not promise to file suit or accept every matter.
Fees, costs, and termination
The signed engagement will specify the recovery calculation, treatment of direct payments and settlements, costs and expenses, whether expenses are deducted before or after calculating the contingency, and any expenses payable without recovery. No additional services or expenses will be incurred outside the agreed authorization. No upfront collection legal fee under the contingency option does not mean that all costs and expenses are waived. The demand-letter and enterprise fees are separate alternatives with their own written terms.
All fees must be reasonable and are subject to the signed engagement and applicable law. Fees are not described as nonrefundable; unearned or unreasonable fees will be refunded as required by applicable rules. You may terminate representation at any time, subject to professional obligations and the signed agreement. Treatment of pending matters, work performed, later recoveries, and required refunds will be addressed in that agreement.
Priority Membership · $495/month + 30% contingency
For new engagements, the monthly legal fee is $495 plus 30% of amounts actually recovered. Includes document review, an initial assessment, and one attorney demand letter when appropriate for up to three new accepted qualifying accounts per billing period. Each account requires separate conflicts clearance and written acceptance, subject to capacity and professional duties. Unused slots do not roll over. Priority refers to intake and scheduling and does not promise immediate service, fixed turnaround, or faster payment. Monthly fees are additional to contingency fees and may be payable without recovery, subject to applicable refund requirements.
New memberships renew month-to-month at $495 until canceled. To stop future renewal charges, email ronald@rdllawgroup.com before the next billing date. Additional accounts, extensive investigation, ongoing negotiations beyond the agreed scope, and other services require a separate written fee arrangement. Membership does not include unlimited legal advice. Cancellation and termination remain subject to the signed agreement and professional obligations.
Existing client agreements remain unchanged
The published $14,950/month Enterprise and $495/month plus 30% contingency Priority prices apply to new engagements only. They do not amend any existing client agreement, including an existing Priority Membership agreement at a different monthly fee. Existing fees, contingency rates, scope, renewal, cancellation, and other terms remain governed by the signed agreement unless separately amended in writing.
Payment or a review request does not itself establish an attorney-client relationship or guarantee acceptance. Services are available only where the firm is authorized to practice.
