PROMISSORY NOTE ENFORCEMENT

Does someone owe you money in New York? Has someone signed a "Note" or a "promissory note" to pay you but hasn't lived up to their obligations? We can help!

​

A promissory note is a written promise to pay a specific amount of money to someone at a future time. It's like a legally binding IOU. Promissory notes are often used for personal loans, business transactions, and real estate deals.

​

When someone breaks a promise to pay a note, it can be both frustrating and financially damaging. In New York, you have a powerful legal tool at your disposal to speed up the process known as "summary judgment in lieu of complaint." This procedure lets you seek a judgment without filing a full, more complicated and expensive lawsuit, saving you both time and money.

​

The attorneys at Thompson & Skrabanek are highly skilled in this specific procedural process and have a great depth of experience pursuing these kinds of claims and collecting on behalf of our clients.

SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN LIEU OF COMPLAINT

  • Start the Case Quickly: Instead of filing a detailed complaint, you file a motion for summary judgment directly.

​

  • Avoid Long Litigation: If the appropriate steps are taken, the court will grant judgment in your favor without a trial.

​

  • Obtain Quicker Enforcement: Obtain a court order to enforce the promissory note and collect the debt owed to you.
