Collecting Unpaid Invoices in Rockland County

When a customer stops paying, Rockland County businesses have a clear path: demand, sue if needed, then enforce the judgment.

The demand letter

A lawyer's demand letter with the invoices attached and a firm deadline resolves many unpaid accounts.

Choosing the court

Smaller balances can go to Town and village justice courts throughout Rockland County or commercial claims; larger balances go to Supreme Court.

After judgment

Restraining notices, income executions and property executions turn a judgment into money.

Common questions

Can I charge interest on late invoices?
If your terms provide for it, and courts also award statutory interest on contract damages.
What if the customer disputes the work?
Then expect a breach-of-contract fight; documentation of the work is key.
