Q. A few of my customers have outstanding invoices that they just will not pay. They aren’t huge debts, but they are starting to stack up in my accounts receivable. Is there any way to pursue smaller debts with legal action or should I just write them off?
There’s a well-known saying in business that “cash is king,” but it’s effective accounts receivable policies and procedures that will help your team have faster access to the cash it needs to accelerate growth and achieve company goals.

"Through the recommendation of a friend, I secured Charles Wakefield as my attorney for a personal injury received while traveling on vacation as a passenger on a long distance train. I met with Mr. Wakefield, finding him cordial and pleasant, and his genuine concern extremely relieving. Although meeting in person only a few times, he kept in continual contact by phone and was always available for questions, which eased my mind. After a few negotiations, my case was settled expediently without court intervention, and I happily received a fair settlement. I feel fortunate to be justly compensated for my expenses and injuries. Thank you very much Mr. Wakefield for your diligence on my behalf."

Did you know that men, on average, die almost five years earlier than women? Part of the reason is that men are more reluctant to go to the doctor, according to http://menshealthmonth.org/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WakefieldLawPLLC&utm_content=WakefieldLaw . In fact, studies show that women go to the doctor twice as much as men. The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among both men and boys. This is a great reminder to schedule your annual checkup if it’s still on the to-do list!

Often, the estate planning conversation is all about money. We talk about transferring money and property from one generation to the next and how to save as much as possible. While all that money stuff is still true, there is an even more immediate aspect of estate planning that we have to talk about: what happens before you die, if you are injured, ill, or otherwise incapacitated?

One of the most important aspects of estate planning is building wealth for the next generation. Here are 9 signs you're probably not yet on the path to a rich future.
https://www.businessinsider.com/signs-you-wont-be-wealthy-advice-2019-3?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WakefieldLawPLLC&utm_content=WakefieldLaw
You're probably not on the path to wealth if you live above your means or if you haven't started investing. Here's how to change that.
You can probably imagine that, as attorneys, we’ve heard all the jokes. We know that not everyone has a rosy view of what it’s like to work with an attorney. In general, we have pretty thick skins. But, there are common misconceptions about working with a personal injury attorney that we just can’t let slide. Check out our responses to the top four myths we hear about working with a personal injury attorney.
https://www.wakefieldpllc.com/blog/personal-injury-is-not-about-revenge?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WakefieldLawPLLC&utm_content=WakefieldLaw
People don’t really trust lawyers, and there is a general feeling that the act of hiring (or even just talking to) an attorney is a confrontational act. This misconception is common, but it’s dangerous. So, we are here to set the record straight.
