Houston Lender Recoveries Lawyers

Collections and Remedies for Banks and Lenders

When a borrower defaults, it might be worthwhile to negotiate a solution or it might be most prudent to pursue the collateral and/or a deficiency balance. The Houston law firm of Wells & Cuellar, P.C., explores the options for financial institutions to recover money or stem their losses from commercial and consumer loans.

We handle debt collection and related legal actions on behalf of banks and lenders across Texas. Our attorneys have extensive experience with collections, liens foreclosures and repossessions, but we commonly engage debtors in workouts and other non-litigated or negotiated solutions.

“As Senior Vice President and Commercial Loan Recovery Manager for Amegy Bank, I have used the law firm of Wells & Cuellar P. C., for consumer and commercial debt litigation and collection, post-judgment collection remedies and bankruptcy cases.  I find them to be extremely responsive and very conscientious of providing effective and efficient results for their clients.  I highly recommend the law firm of Wells & Cuellar, P. C.”
