Resolution · For the both
The vast majority of civil cases in Albany County end in settlement. A good settlement protects you if the other side doesn't pay — or protects you from being hit with a judgment if you miss a payment.
Often after a demand letter, after the answer reveals defenses, or after key discovery or a motion decision.
Lump sum versus installments, default provisions, releases, confidentiality and tax treatment all matter.
Strong usury or service defenses frequently produce large discounts off the claimed balance.
