Bethune & Associates · Commercial Collections & Litigation
Over $400 million* recovered for our clients.
If you already use a collection agency, you know their letters only go so far. Bethune & Associates is a law firm. When an account stalls, we can file suit, win judgments, and have them enforced - leverage no standard collection agency can offer. Contingency only: you pay nothing unless we collect. Let us be your one point of contact for recovery in all 50 states.
*Cumulative amount recovered for clients. Amounts and recovery timing vary by account. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
The Bethune Difference
The clout of a law firm. A single focus on collections.
Single focus
One hundred percent of our practice is commercial collections and litigation. We do one thing, and do it well.
Law-firm leverage
Debtors take a law firm seriously. Early legal contact drives faster, fuller payment than an agency letter.
Paid only on results
We are paid only from what we recover; no retainers, placement fees, or non-contingent suit fees.
Nationwide reach
Your one point of contact for collections anywhere in the country, with a co-counsel network that recovers across all 50 states.
Speed with restraint
Recovery often lands in 7 to 14 days.* We negotiate first and litigate only when it serves your recovery.

Law Firm vs. Agency
A law firm collects what an agency cannot.
An agency can request payment. A law firm can also file suit and pursue court-ordered remedies: leverage that resolves accounts faster and more fully. See exactly how we compare.
