What we do for you
7 core legal services with a focus on Debt Collection
Some of our work gets back money you're owed. The rest is for the business itself: its contracts, property, projects and disputes. Start with the one closest to where you are today.
Money you're owed
Which of these fits depends on who owes you and how far things have already gone.
Collections for Creditors
A customer quit paying. We track them down, learn what they really own, and put Florida's collection remedies to work: demand letters, lawsuits, garnishment, levy and replevin. Debtors take a demand more seriously when it comes from lawyers who go to court.
Learn about collections →Mortgage Default Services
For banks, credit unions and loan servicers: foreclosure, loss mitigation, contested foreclosures, bankruptcy, eviction and REO closings, handled by one team from the first default notice to the final closing.
Learn about mortgage default →Creditors' Rights in Bankruptcy
A bankruptcy filing doesn't erase your claim, but it resets the clock on everything. We protect creditors through workouts and restructurings, motions for stay relief, plan objections, adversary proceedings and Section 363 sales.
Learn about bankruptcy claims →When it's the business itself
Four practices for the agreements you make, the property you own, the projects you build, and the disputes any of them can start.
Business & Commercial Litigation
Contract breaches, partner and shareholder fights, fraud, civil theft, fiduciary claims and tortious interference. We also defend businesses facing consumer claims under the FDCPA, FCCPA and TCPA.
Learn about litigation →Real Estate
Purchases, sales, financing, leases and development, and the disputes that sometimes follow. The firm is an authorized agent for several title insurers, so your closing, title work and any title claim are handled under one roof.
Learn about real estate →Construction Matters
Mechanic's liens, bond claims, payment fights, defect and delay claims, licensing complaints and bid protests, for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, developers, engineers and architects. When we can, we fix the contract before it becomes a fight.
Learn about construction →Business & Personal Planning
Most disputes are settled by paperwork signed long before anyone argued. We draft formation documents, contracts, credit applications and personal guarantees so the terms are on your side when it counts.
Learn about planning →Not sure which one you need?
Plenty of matters start as one thing and become another. Tell us what happened and who owes what, and we'll tell you which of the seven fits. If it isn't worth chasing, we'll say that too.
Contact →WHEN YOU'RE OWED
What changes when we take the file.
You delivered the goods. You provided the service. You funded the loan. Until somebody makes them pay, you're financing them — no interest, no terms, no say in it.
Find the money.
Before anything gets filed: what they own, who they bank with, who else is owed, and whether there's anything there to collect. If the file isn't worth pursuing, we tell you that first.
Take back control
Until now they've decided everything — whether to answer, what to say, whether there's money at all. Once we know what they actually have, "there's no money" stops being the end of the conversation. In court, answering isn't optional. What happens next is your call, not theirs.
Get Paid
Garnishment, levy, liens, depositions in aid of execution. A judgment is a piece of paper until somebody enforces it. Enforcement is where the money actually arrives.
A contract in Florida still means something.
Since1978
About us
Florida's a big map. We know all of it.
We've been making sure people get paid since 1978 — from Tampa, in courthouses all over Florida, through the booms and the busts and the booms after that. When a business doesn't get paid, we already know the venue, the filing, and how long it actually takes. You don't pay us to get up to speed.

Mr. Mouch and his staff assisted my company with the collection of a debt that my staff worked on for 3 years. They had it resolved and collected in 60 days. Outstanding communication and professionalism. I highly recommend any business that is having a difficult time collecting for services renders hire Kass Schuler.
"Kass, Shuler has represented me on several business matters over the years. Their work speaks for itself — I've been pleased with the outcome in every instance. Professional. Responsive. Reasonable fees. Highly recommended."
"I consulted with Matthew Schwartz and he phoned me back and asked me to try and handle it myself… within two days my issue was resolved."
