When you say you've exhausted your opportunities, does that mean a collection
company has tried? Some of them are downright effective. They'll do things like
instantly ruin the credit of the person you're trying to collect from. The
better ones will even give you a release which absolves you of liability for
any actions they do.

The reason I mention it is that usually all an attorney will do for a low price is to write a letter. If you want action, it can cost a lot more, whereas the
collection agencies are all action oriented and won't charge you unless they
collect.

Hi George.
