- Property DamageBusinesses that experience a high volume of commercial liability claims often contract with a third party administrator to process claims. Although many claims paid out of pocket by the TPA are small, the demand is typically high at the commencement of the claim and the business carries a high deductible for all claims of serious injury or property damage.

- ForeclosureThe collections practice at Gannett & Associates seldom involves credit cards, car loans or even mortgage foreclosure. Instead, we concentrate on complex creditors’ rights issues arising out of international sales, fraud, successor liability or difficult asset location and recovery problems. We identify concealed or transferred assets and pursue legal action against the debtors, transferees, shell corporations and bankruptcy estates that hold those assets.
- Debt CollectionAlthough the filing of a bankruptcy petition puts an immediate stop to all forms of debt collection activity in all but a very few situations, creditors holding different kinds of claims can ask the judge for relief from the automatic stay — in other words, permission to commence or continue litigation or asset recovery actions against the debtor.
