Overview
When debts go unpaid, businesses need experienced counsel who will take action. Rupp Pfalzgraf’s Creditors’ Rights attorneys provide comprehensive legal services to help creditors overcome all challenges they may face. Our attorneys achieve positive results in the areas of debt collection, judgment enforcement, private mortgage foreclosures, bankruptcies, and evictions. Whether pursuing a straightforward collection matter or navigating a complex multi-party insolvency, our team brings the experience and tenacity to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.
We Answer Your Questions
- What legal tools exist to collect unpaid debt?How long do I have to sue on an unpaid debt?

Focus Areas
Collections
When customers don’t pay, your business suffers. Our attorneys help businesses recover outstanding debts through every stage of the collection process – from demand letters and negotiated settlements to litigation and beyond. Our attorneys have extensive experience pursuing accounts receivable disputes, giving businesses the tools they need to protect their cash flow and bottom line.
Judgment Enforcement
Winning a judgment is only half the battle – actually collecting on it is another matter entirely. Our attorneys are skilled at pursuing all available enforcement remedies under New York law, including information subpoenas, restraining notices, levies on bank accounts, income executions, and property executions, to ensure that a judgment in your favor translates into real recovery.
Mortgage Foreclosures
When a borrower defaults on a mortgage, swift and effective action is essential to protect your investment. Our attorneys handle private mortgage foreclosures for businesses and individuals who hold mortgage interests outside of traditional institutional lending – including seller-financed transactions and privately structured loans – guiding clients through the New York foreclosure process from initial default through judgment and sale.
Bankruptcy
A customer’s or debtor’s bankruptcy filing doesn’t have to mean the end of your recovery. Our attorneys represent creditors in all aspects of bankruptcy proceedings, helping clients file proofs of claim, challenge improper discharges, lift automatic stays where appropriate, and assert their rights in reorganization plans – working to maximize recovery in even the most complex insolvency matters.
Evictions
When a tenant fails to pay rent or refuses to leave, landlords need to act quickly and correctly. Our attorneys guide landlords through the eviction process, from serving the proper notices through summary proceedings and obtaining a warrant of eviction, ensuring that every step complies with New York law so that delays and procedural missteps don’t stand between you and recovering your property.

- Debt collection
- Judgment enforcement
- Private mortgage foreclosures
