Re: Personal Debt Collection

You can do the small claims appearance, and then have a collection attorney do the collection. Usually, an attorney would take a percentage. Also it could depend on the collectibility -- is the other person employed, have a bank account, a house, etc.? If none of those, an attorney probably would not want to touch it at all.
