TESTIMONIAL

Michael Grant
Credit Manager
Global Online Information Services Company - North Carolina

"At first I was skeptical of Stevens & Ricci's conversion from collection agency to attorney group and brokerage. We have been a client for over three years and I've always said "If it's not broke don't fix it". We placed a large customer recently which was assigned to a Stevens & Ricci attorney. The account was resolved because in today's debtor savvy culture, a seasoned collection attorney will command and get a higher level of respect and attention than an agency collector. Further, the attorney is in a better position to overcome objections from the debtor which can delay or prevent collecting. The cost is the same but more dollars are recovered. We're getting more "bang for the buck" with Stevens & Ricci. "
