Florida 15th Circuit
Debt Collection Attorney.
Your institution is owed money, and the account has stopped moving. Calls go unanswered, promises go unkept, and a balance that should have resolved months ago now sits on your books as a problem. You have the option to place that file anywhere. What you are actually deciding is whether the firm you choose can recover what you are owed without embarrassing you — without the rogue call, the compliance miss, or the abusive rep who turns a routine account into a complaint.
For nearly fifty years, Marcadis Law Firm has been one of Florida's oldest and largest creditors' rights practices. Banks, credit unions, card issuers, and established businesses bring us their files because we recover what they are owed with discipline the work demands and restraint the relationship requires. We understand the truth that separates us from the aggressive shops: in collections, the person on the other end of the line is still our client's customer. What we protect is not only the balance owed — it is our client's name.
The 15th Circuit Economy We Serve
Palm Beach County carries one of the most diverse commercial economies in Florida, and the accounts that reach our desk reflect that range. The region's business and financial services sector — wealth management, banking, private equity, and corporate finance concentrated in and around downtown West Palm Beach and its financial corridor — has earned the area a reputation as a southern extension of the nation's financial industry. Alongside it sit strong clusters in healthcare and life sciences, aviation and aerospace engineering, information technology, and manufacturing of biomedical devices, pharmaceuticals, and marine components.
The county's foundational sectors remain active as well. Agriculture and ranching operations concentrate in the central and western reaches, while tourism, hospitality, and the signature equestrian industry around Wellington support a broad base of seasonal and service businesses. Real estate development, construction, distribution, and logistics run through nearly all of it, driven by steady population growth and commercial expansion.
That variety shapes both sides of the creditor-debtor relationship here. Institutional creditors include commercial banks, credit unions, wealth management firms, private and hard-money real estate lenders, and the many commercial enterprises that extend trade credit, leasing, and payment terms to one another. Commercial debtors span real estate investors and developers, small and medium-sized businesses across retail, hospitality, healthcare, and professional services, manufacturers, technology and life sciences firms, and agricultural operations. Business assets concentrate in commercial and industrial real estate, warehouse and logistics property, agricultural land and equipment, and the machinery, inventory, and receivables held across every sector. We handle each of these matters the same disciplined way, whether the file is the first of the day or the ten-thousandth.
From Demand to Judgment to Enforcement
Most matters begin with a controlled, professional demand. By the time an account reaches us, the debtor's options have usually narrowed, and we are honest about that — but firmness is not cruelty. We make certain every person is heard, understands the options that remain, and is treated with respect through a difficult conversation. A meaningful share of files resolves at this stage, without a filing and without damage to the relationship behind the balance.
When resolution does not come voluntarily, we move to suit and pursue judgment through the appropriate court. Once a judgment is entered, Florida law provides several enforcement remedies we regularly employ. Garnishment reaches a debtor's bank accounts or, in the commercial context, wages and receivables owed to the debtor by third parties. Writs of execution allow the levy and sale of non-exempt tangible personal property — the machinery, equipment, and inventory that concentrate across the county's manufacturing, distribution, and service businesses. Judgment liens recorded against real and personal property secure a creditor's position and attach to assets held throughout the county's commercial and industrial districts.
Each of these tools is applied methodically, within a system engineered to perform the same way every time. Restraint is not softness here — it is the professional standard, enforced by design, so that recovery never comes at the cost of your reputation.
Venue in the 15th Circuit
The Fifteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida serves Palm Beach County, with the principal courthouse in West Palm Beach. Commercial matters proceed in the Circuit Civil and County Civil divisions according to the amount in controversy, and post-judgment enforcement is pursued through the same court that entered the judgment. We handle matters throughout the circuit — from the office towers of downtown West Palm Beach and the innovation campuses of Boca Raton to Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and the industrial and agricultural zones of the western county.
Marcadis Law Firm is more than a collections practice. We are the disciplined engine behind our clients' financial rights — recovering what is owed without costing them the customer, or the name they have spent decades earning.
