Eltman, Eltman & Cooper: The Nation's Leading Judgment Enforcement Firm

New York, NY – Eltman, Eltman & Cooper, a leading credit and collections law firm since 1947, offers its clients the ability to find value in their long dormant judgments. More than 80% of judgments go unpaid. By applying advanced analytics, law enforcement grade investigations and experts in local enforcement processes throughout the country Eltman is able to get many of these unproductive judgments paid.

Eltman developed this specialty in response to the needs of its debt buying clients, who began nearly a decade ago to rely more heavily upon the legal process to collect. Although the legal process can be an effective collection technique, many clients have found that their local law firms are unequipped to provide the investigative and process management necessary to liquidate judgment accounts.

There are several unique factors that contribute to Eltman’s judgment enforcement success. The firm uses former police detectives led by a high-ranking NYPD commander –not skip tracers– to locate debtors and assets. They do this with a degree of professionalism that is unique in the industry. Eltman’s network management is dedicated primarily to judgment enforcement and its segment managers are experts in the vastly different legal processes across the country. Eltman also uses dedicated collectors to produce immediate cash flow as the legal process is put to work. In addition to its diversified operational strengths, Eltman has more than 15 years of judgment enforcement data and analytics.

Eltman represents some of the largest debt buyers and collection agencies in the country, who realize that to fail to capitalize on a dormant judgment inventory is to leave money on the table.
