Debt Collection

Collecting unpaid debts can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially when efforts to resolve the matter amicably have failed. Whether you’re a business owner dealing with a non-paying client or an individual owed money on a private agreement, you have legal options available to help recover what you’re owed.

At Eckhoff & Massarelli, P.C., we assist clients with all aspects of debt collection, from demand letters and negotiated settlements to lawsuits and judgments. We understand the laws that govern collection practices and can help you pursue your claim professionally and effectively, without violating debtor protections. If you’re dealing with a stubborn debt, we encourage you to speak with our team to understand your rights and obligations under current collection laws.

Civil Litigation

Civil disputes—whether involving contracts, property, business dealings, or personal grievances—can quickly become complex and emotionally charged. When conflict arises, it is crucial to have a strong legal advocate who can protect your rights and pursue a favorable outcome through negotiation or litigation. Litigation can be time-consuming and costly, but it is sometimes the only path to resolution.

Eckhoff & Massarelli, P.C. provides experienced representation in a wide range of civil matters. We take the time to understand the details of your case and develop a strategy that reflects your goals—whether that means pursuing a settlement or preparing for trial. Because litigation procedures and court rules can differ significantly depending on the case type, we strongly recommend consulting directly with our office or another civil litigation attorney to discuss your specific situation.

Real Estate Closings

Perhaps the most exciting and frightening step an individual or couple can take is the purchase of a home. In most cases, this purchase represents the largest single transaction that has been made by the Buyers. Similar anxieties exist for the Sellers of a home although the Seller is usually concerned that the sale takes place so that they can purchase another home. In order to relieve these anxieties, you need to work with a law firm that will personally work with you, your lender, and your realtor to assure that the closing takes place. You need to be free to focus on the move. However, real estate closings can often be complicated with many issues that should be reviewed by an experienced attorney that will answer your questions and help put your mind at ease. After successfully completing hundreds of real estate closings, we would be happy to work with you on either the sale or purchase of your home.

Estate Planning

Preparing for the future through estate planning is one of the most thoughtful and important steps you can take to protect your family and legacy. Without a clear plan in place, your assets may not be distributed according to your wishes, and your loved ones may face unnecessary legal and financial burdens. Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are critical tools that allow you to maintain control and provide clarity when it matters most.

At Eckhoff & Massarelli, P.C., we help clients craft comprehensive, customized estate plans that reflect their goals and values. We guide you through the decisions involved and explain the options in plain language, whether you’re planning for minor children, elderly parents, or your own long-term care. Estate laws are constantly evolving, so we encourage you to meet with us or another qualified attorney to ensure your plan complies with current legal standards and addresses your unique situation.
