I recently engaged the services of Alana Pointon to assist with a property settlement and custody agreement with my ex-partner. Going into the process, I had very limited knowledge, but Alana took the time to explain everything in clear, understandable terms, which made a huge difference for me.My ex-partner was extremely difficult to deal with, and there were times when additional legal advice and reassurance were urgently needed—particularly when he became threatening and made concerning comments about not returning my child. Alana handled these situations with calm professionalism, offering sound guidance and unwavering support.She was kind, considerate, and an absolute wealth of knowledge during one of the most stressful periods of my life. During mediation, Alana skillfully negotiated a very fair property settlement on my behalf. I truly felt that she had my best interests at heart at every stage.If you’re looking for a lawyer who is both compassionate and a fierce advocate, I can’t recommend Alana Pointon highly enough. You will not regret choosing her.

Debt Collection FAQs

Debt recovery lawyers specialise in legally helping individuals and businesses reclaim outstanding debts. They evaluate cases, provide legal advice, negotiate with debtors, draft legal documents, initiate legal proceedings, and enforce court judgments.

A debt recovery lawyer brings expertise and experience to the table, increasing the likelihood of successful debt collection. They understand the legal intricacies involved and can navigate complex situations effectively on your behalf. A debt collector can work up to a point, but they cannot commence legal action and usually have to refer that work to a lawyer.

Hiring a debt recovery lawyer frees up your time and resources while ensuring a professional and systematic approach to debt collection. Lawyers have access to legal avenues and enforcement mechanisms that individuals may not be aware of, increasing the chances of successful recovery.

While there may be initial costs associated with hiring a debt recovery lawyer, the potential benefits far outweigh the expenses. A lawyer’s expertise can expedite the debt recovery process, ultimately saving you time and money in the long run by avoiding prolonged disputes and maximising recovery rates.
