Our legal services include:
Trial Litigation Services
We provide disciplined, trial-ready representation for lenders and creditors in high-stakes commercial disputes, secured-transaction litigation, guaranty enforcement matters, and contested foreclosures.

We represent lenders, servicers, and creditors in all aspects of Connecticut foreclosure litigation, delivering strategic, enforcement-focused counsel that protects collateral and drives efficient recovery. Our team manages the full foreclosure lifecycle, including compliance, mediation, summary judgment, trial advocacy, receiverships, assignments of rents, replevin coordination, and deficiency judgment proceedings. We approach each matter with commercial discipline and legal precision, ensuring timely, effective enforcement across residential and commercial properties.
Personal Property Collection and Recovery
We assist lenders and secured creditors in recovering personal property and enforcing their security interests through replevin actions, UCC Article 9 sales, conversion claims, and civil theft litigation. Our team acts with urgency and precision to locate, secure, and repossess equipment, inventory, machinery, and other collateral before it is moved, concealed, or depleted. We combine disciplined litigation strategy with practical commercial judgment to preserve asset value and maximize recovery.
Prejudgment Remedy (PJR) Attachments
We help creditors secure prejudgment attachments under Connecticut law to preserve assets and strengthen recovery before a final judgment is entered. Our team evaluates the appropriate statutory pathway, whether through noticed hearings, ex parte applications, or contractual waivers, and acts quickly to attach bank accounts, real estate, equipment, and other assets that might otherwise be concealed or dissipated. By obtaining early judicial intervention and asset control, we enhance settlement leverage, protect priority, and position clients for efficient and enforceable recovery.
Settlement and Workout Services
We provide lenders and creditors with strategic, business-aligned resolution options that minimize litigation risk and maximize recovery.

We approach every workout with commercial discipline, precision drafting, and a clear focus on practical, cost-effective resolution.
Judgment Enforcement and Collection
We represent creditors in all phases of post-judgment enforcement, using bank executions, wage garnishments, liens, property seizures, subpoenas, and turnover orders to convert judgments into actual recoveries. Our approach is disciplined, strategic, and focused on identifying debtor assets quickly, enforcing rights efficiently, and maximizing return. Whether the judgment originates in Connecticut or is domesticated from another state, we deliver targeted, results-driven recovery solutions.
Domestication and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments
We assist out-of-state and international creditors in domesticating and enforcing judgments against debtors with assets or business operations in Connecticut. Our team handles all aspects of domestication under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act and Connecticut common law, followed by targeted post-judgment enforcement using bank and wage executions, liens, property seizures, and discovery tools. We deliver disciplined, results-focused strategies that convert outside judgments into enforceable Connecticut recoveries.
