INNOVATIVE FULL-SERVICE SOLUTIONS

YOUR OPERATIONS' LEGAL SERVICING NEEDS

MANAGED ACROSS THE NATION WITH ONE LAW FIRM:

GOLDFEIN & ASSOCIATES

Our results-driven approach sets the benchmark for excellence, offering legal services that consistently outperform industry standards.

IMPOUNDS

Is a third-party imperiling your interest in property and holding it hostage in exchange for unreasonable sums of what amounts to ransom money? Why your property is being held doesn't matter, we can help.

SEIZURES & FORFEITURES

As a lender or lessor, you can’t control what your customers do with their vehicles. However, what the customers do may impact your rights in the vehicles. A state or federal agency may seize your vehicle and Goldfein & Associates can help you get it back.

LIEN LOSS | POST-LIEN SALE

Does a tow yard, repair shop, or other impounding entity claim that it has sold or taken title to your vehicle? The story doesn’t end there. Goldfein & Associates can help you navigate a myriad of post-sale remedies towards a strategy-driven legal solution.

DIMINISHED VALUE

Whether you own, administer, or repossess vehicles, your vehicles may have lost value if they were involved in an accident, even if those vehicles were satisfactorily repaired. This loss in value is known as residual diminution in value, stigma, or simply diminished value damages.

INSURANCE DENIALS

A denial letter from an insurance company is not always the end of a claim. Insurers operate within a regulated industry which often disfavors denials by insurers who have received premium payments. Nevertheless, insurers sometimes too quickly or too carelessly deny valid claims.

POST-REPOSSESSION PHYSICAL DAMAGE

Did you know that more than half of all vehicles repossessed by a lender have some degree of unrepaired physical damage? This physical damage results in lower auction values and less money recouped by lenders.

ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT

Accidents add a new level of complexity to the already difficult task of managing a fleet of vehicles. Goldfein & Associates can help simplify this task.

SUBROGATION

Insurers will often try to underpay claims on fleet vehicles, believing they can get away with it. Goldfein & Associates believes in subrogating for every dime you’re owed, including amounts you may not even realize you’re owed.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Sometimes going to court is just not the most efficient answer. Instead, Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) may better serve your needs. ADR can lower transaction costs and can resolve disputes faster than traditional litigation.

BANKRUPTCY

End-to-End bankruptcy representation for secured and unsecured creditors. Offering full lifecycle case management for consumer finance creditors — protecting collateral, enforcing bankruptcy creditors’ rights, and optimizing recovery outcomes.

REMEDIATION

The legal landscape for any business is ever changing; sometimes it is difficult to keep up. It can seem like regulatory and consumer protection agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, are changing the rules every other day.

CITATIONS

If you’re a vehicle leasing or rental company, then you’ve likely received citation notices informing you that you are the registered owner of a vehicle that was filmed/photographed speeding, running a red light, or passing through a toll point without payment.

GAP & SECONDARY INSURER RECOVERY

When a vehicle is totaled, primary auto insurers are required to pay the full actual cash value (“ACV”) of the destroyed vehicle; however, primary auto insurers often fail to do so.

TITLE SERVICES

Limit loss and fraud exposure with our high-value title services. Title Research: turning title history data into clarity, context, and direction. Title Repair: 50 States and D.C. title restoration. Collateral & Value Recovery: Recovering the vehicle and/or its value.
