Commercial Collection And Asset Recovery

Sometimes getting paid is harder than making the sale. Aires Law Firm is focused on the collection of commercial debts and the enforcement of judgments against recalcitrant debtors. Timothy Carl Aires is the creditors’ rights attorney.
Civil
Litigation

Timothy Carl Aires is an experienced trial attorney. His broad experience, extensive knowledge of pleadings and practice, as well as the rules of evidence, along with his distinctive courtroom presence, have resulted in great success for his clients.
Pre-Judgment
Remedies

Pre-judgment remedies, including attachment and replevin, can secure a creditor’s interests right away. Aires Law Firm is experienced in obtaining cash or collateral on clients’ behalf to be held in custodia legis until judgment is entered.
Post-Judgment Enforcement

Recalcitrant judgment debtors are subject to powerful legal tools that can compel payment. Examination proceedings, creditors’ suits, levies, assignment orders, garnishment, and receiverships are regularly used by ALF to enforce judgments against evasive debtors.

Creditors' Suits And
Fraudulent Transfer Actions

When a third party owes money to a judgment debtor or has possession or control of property in which a judgment debtor has an interest, ALF regularly brings creditors’ suits and fraudulent transfer actions to have the interest or debt applied to satisfy the judgment.
Alternative Dispute Resolution

Full-blown litigation is expensive. Settlement negotiation, mediation, and arbitration are efficient and effective ways to collect debt. Aires Law Firm has successfully resolved client disputes through ADR quickly and without incurring the expense of trial.
Appellate
Practice

Winning at the trial level is not always the end of litigation. Aires Law Firm has experience successfully appealing adverse trial court rulings and defending lower-court victories on appeal.
Bankruptcy Proceedings

Creditors must protect their rights even when the debtor claims to be insolvent and seeks bankruptcy protection. Timothy Carl Aires guides creditors through bankruptcy proceedings to defend creditors’ rights throughout the process.
