The Collection Experts
THE ONLY TRUE
NO COST COLLECTION PROGRAM
Larry Rothman & Associates is the first and only law firm to provide
Community Associates with a True No Cost Collection Program.
When Larry Rothman says that the association will incur
no costs, he means it!
All of the fees and costs that Larry Rothman invests in collection actions on behalf of
the association are billed to the delinquent property owners.
If Larry Rothman and Associates doesnt collect the delinquent debt, the association
does not have to reimburse the law firm for the money advanced on behalf of the
association.
COMPETITORS
Some competitors advance fees and costs on behalf of
associations.
If the law firm cannot collect the delinquent assessments and fees, the association is
obligated by the collection agreement to reimburse the law firm.
This means that even though the association did not get any money, the association may
have to pay the law firm hundreds of dollars for each case that the law firm failed to
collect.
TRUTH
No other law firm offers this True No Cost Collection Program.

BANKRUPTCY AND
PERSONAL LAWSUITS
Bankruptcy
Some properties that enter the collection process end up in Bankruptcy.
When this occurs, Larry Rothman and Associates immediately brings a Motion for Relief From
Stay.
This motion normally forces the property
owner to pay the monies due the association.
Eviction
If a property owner refuses to move after the foreclosure, we also
handle the eviction litigation to remove the individuals from the property.
Personal Lawsuits
Some assessment collection cases reach the point where a property owner
walks away from the property after we have completed the foreclosure process,
The only remedy to collect the delinquent assessments is to file a
Personal Lawsuit against the individual who owed the assessments.
Personal Lawsuit Fees
To further assist our clients in collecting assessments, our firm will
file a Personal Lawsuit against the delinquent homeowner. Our firm will ADVANCE ALL FEES
AND COSTS.
