Every case boils down to a collection. At this basic program, you will learn how to navigate the New Jersey court system to collect money for your client. If you follow proven, step by step procedures, you will be able to collect outstanding debts and develop a sense of “finality” that brings both you and your client satisfaction.

This very practical program features some of New Jersey’s leading collection attorneys, the Honorable William Anklowitz, Supervising Special Civil Part Judge- Mercer County, and a court officer. Together they will address topics of collection practice including:

  • Filing the claim;
  • Understanding the different court levels in which claims can be brought;
  • The collection lawsuit;
  • What you can levy upon; and
  • Post judgment discovery and techniques.

Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your ability to collect debts in New Jersey. Attendees will receive a seminar handbook packed with useful forms, checklists and other valuable materials that will expedite the debt collection process in your office.
