Nationwide Legal Support

Miller, Ross & Goldman provides legal support in all 50 U.S. States through our national attorney forwarding network. Although over 95% of all commercial claims submitted to us are resolved without a lawsuit, some situations will require formal legal action. When legal action is indicated, we will contact you to determine if you would like us to conduct a free CLR (Claim Legal Review). Provided you, our Client, desire to have a formal lawsuit filed on your behalf, we will then proceed with the CLR in order to establish a sound basis to proceed.

Claim Legal Review Process

In most cases, all of the following criteria must be met during the CLR:

The principal balance owed is at least $3,000.00

The debtor company is in business, or, there is a Personal Guarantor

Valid, legible documentation exists to fully support the indebted claim

The debtor company, or Guarantor, has not filed bankruptcy

The debtor company is viable (Existence of cash flow, and/or assets).

The contract or agreement in force does not require mediation/arbitration.

Provided the above conditions are met, we will then determine the costs to have an attorney in our network initiate the suit process. In most cases, you, our Client, will only be required to advance applicable court costs and filing fees. In some cases, a nominal non-contingency retainer of 3-5% will also be required to cover anticipated expenses such as service of process fees, suit preparation materials, postage, notary service etc. Our legal contingency fee rate of 35-40% will apply upon collection. Any advance will be paid back to you, the Client, upon satisfaction of the claim by the debtor. We will explain costs to proceed with legal action, and will only proceed upon our receipt of written authorization from you.

Please note that we are not obligated to facilitate legal action on your behalf simply based on your desire to sue your indebted customer. If our CLR diligence indicates a case against your debtor has no merit, or could otherwise subject your company or ours to undue or unsubstantiated financial risks, we will not recommend a lawsuit. If we determine that any claim does not meet the criteria necessary for litigation, we will explain the reasons for our position. Your are, of course, free to take action on your own, if desired.

Legal Authorization Statement

Once we advise that a claim we are handling for you does meet the necessary criteria for legal action, and have explained the applicable costs to initiate the suit process, we will require your signed authorization to proceed on your company's behalf. Please copy and paste the statement below on your company letterhead, and fax to our office at 1-888-FAX-MRG4 (1-888-329-6744):
