Representing business owners in court, whether defending a collection suit or taking action.
When a debt dispute reaches the courtroom, preparation matters. At Shim Law Group, P.C., we represent business owners in court, whether defending against a collection lawsuit or initiating action to protect your business's interests. We evaluate the creditor's actual legal position and build your case around it.
Collection plaintiffs often rely on business owners not responding or not knowing their rights. We make sure your side is heard, that improper claims are challenged, and that any judgment is not entered without a fight.
We prepare each case thoroughly, challenge what does not hold up, and pursue the most effective path, whether that is a strong defense, a negotiated resolution, or affirmative action on your behalf.
Our attorneys are ready to review your situation and answer your questions. Contact us today at (718) 878-1177 or fill out our online form for free.

Often, yes. Creditors do not always prove the debt or the amount correctly. We examine the claim, the documentation, and the creditor's standing to sue.
