With 15 years of extensive transactional/contracts experience reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts including a wide variety of purchase orders and contracts and non-disclosure agreements (NDA), I believe I can immediately contribute to the continued success of your team. I have been commended for a range of valuable skills—excellent contract management and contract administration, legal research, risk analysis, drafting and negotiations, and strategic thinking. I have worked as a legal consultant for 10+ years and I have reviewed over 7,500 contracts through this position. Contracts I have reviewed include but not limited to purchase orders, commercial and construction contracts, equipment rental agreements, non-disclosure, confidentiality, vendor agreements, service agreements, site access agreements, international agreements, request for proposals (RFP), bids and government contracts. These experiences have enabled me to master the ability to work independently and expeditiously to identify and assess issues and provide legally sound recommendations, consistent with good business practices. I have led teams (sales, insurance and management) to successfully negotiate contract terms with customers. Effective Communicator and Negotiator. I am a people person, and for the past 13 years, I have acquired excellent oral and written communication skills that enable me to interact and negotiate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. I am a self-starter with a strong work ethic. I have a high degree of resourcefulness, diligence, and dependability. Most important, I adapt to changing priorities quickly, thriving in an environment with high volume and short turnaround deadlines. My experience over the years allows me to transfer my skills to all types of contracts to meet the client’s needs. I am hopeful to provide similar legal expertise, effective contract administration and leadership to your organization. It would be a pleasure to meet within the next few weeks and discuss how my qualifications, experience, and capabilities will best fit the needs of your outfit.

Debt Collection Legal Questions and Answers

Debt Collection

Demand Letter

Maryland

Asked on Sep 17, 2023

Negotiating after a demand letter?

I recently received a demand letter from an individual who claims I owe them money. I am interested in negotiating a settlement outside of court, but am unsure of the best way to go about this. I am looking to get advice from a lawyer on how to proceed in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Kimm M.

Answered Oct 13, 2023

As a general rule, the best approach would be to either send a letter in response that proposes the settlement terms you desire, or to call the individual and negotiate by phone.

Demand Letter

Washington

Asked on Sep 18, 2023

Drafting tone in a demand letter?

I recently received a demand letter from a creditor for an unpaid debt. I am unsure of how to respond in a way that is both respectful and firm. I am concerned about the tone of my response and I would like to make sure that it is appropriate and in line with the law.

Merry A.

Answered Sep 19, 2023

It is always an excellent idea to (1) Use a polite and professional tone, along the lines of how you would write if your letter could end up in front of a judge some day; (2) Have a friend or family member review your letter with you before you send it; and (3) include all your pertinent contact information. However, I do want to mention that when you write back, if you don't know what the debt is for, you are within your rights to request written verification of what the debt is for - I mention this because there is a popular scam of sending fake debt collection letters to people and causing them all kinds of stress and distress.

Debt Collection

Lien

California

Asked on Feb 5, 2024

My brother paid off the mortgage loan of my parent's home in California in Jan 2021. In return the ownership was transferred to his name. However, in mid 2023 a lien was put on the property for $80K. We had no idea who filed, after talking with my father he told us that could be a judgement for him to pay back for the "zeek reward" scheme that he joined from more than 10 years ago. Is that legal for the lien to be on the property now that my father is not the owner?

The house is an investment property with renters, my father lives in one room and we do have a rental agreement with him. He manages the property since my brother and sister who are the owners of the property are living in different states.

Joseph M.

Answered Feb 6, 2024

If the judgment was against your father and not you then you should be able to fight the lien.

Debt Settlement Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 30, 2023

Can a debt settlement agreement be transferred?

I recently received an offer from a creditor to settle a debt I owe. However, due to my current financial situation, I am unable to make the payments they are asking for. I am wondering if I can transfer the debt settlement agreement to another party, who would be able to pay the debt in full.

Diane D.

Answered Aug 1, 2023

Probably not. You wil need to talk to the creditor.

Contracts

Note Payable

New York

Asked on Oct 5, 2021

I need to sue on an unpaid promissory note

The note was written back in March 2019 I hired an attorney and he has done nothing for me! I made tons of requests to try to settle out of court with this man and he just keeps blowing me off

Matthew S.

Answered Oct 12, 2021

You need someone who will attempt to settle the matter for you and if that fails be prepared to sue on the note and take the necessary action to collect. This assumes the debtor has assets to collect against. It can take a while. I have had some folks pay relatively promptly, others several years. Communication between attorney and client is very important in this process. If you have no idea what is going on in your case you can get very anxious. I make sure you get consulted on each development and you get copies of each filing.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
