Texas CPAs and accounting firms provide indispensable services — tax preparation, audit, bookkeeping, financial planning — and are routinely underpaid or not paid at all by clients who value the work but resist the bill. Debt Collection Attorneys PLLC helps Texas accounting professionals recover past-due fees efficiently, professionally, and without jeopardizing ongoing client relationships where possible.
We assess your case at no charge and only get paid when we collect.
(214) 817-1450 Send Case DetailsA properly drafted engagement letter is an enforceable contract under Texas law. We enforce engagement letter provisions including: hourly rate schedules; fixed-fee and retainer arrangements; out-of-scope and change order billing; interest on past-due balances; and attorney's fee provisions. When clients dispute the scope of work or claim services were not delivered, we use work product records, client communications, and deliverable files to establish complete and professional performance.
Texas recognizes a common-law retaining lien for professional services — the right to retain client records, work papers, and prepared tax returns until fees are paid. While the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy has guidelines limiting when this lien can be exercised, it remains a legitimate collection tool in appropriate cases. We advise CPAs on the proper exercise of retaining liens and defend against client claims that the lien was improper.
Systematic collection problems at an accounting firm are usually a process problem, not just a client problem. We help Texas CPAs implement engagement letter improvements, retainer and deposit policies, and formal past-due billing procedures that dramatically reduce collection losses before they occur. For accounts that are already delinquent, our contingency model means the firm risks nothing by pursuing every legitimate claim.
