sending a formal notice to your indelicate debtor,

while acting as a mediator between parties.

Judicial phase

Either the amicable phase has been unsuccessful, or the creditor has already taken steps to obtain satisfaction, and there remains no other option than to enter the judicial phase.

Service of a judgment in civil matters and commercial

(divorce, paternity dispute, other...)

Enforcement of judgments in the context of rental disputes

(expulsion,...)

Service of an opposition in criminal matters

(police and correctional)

The service of a termination of legal cohabitation


Debts collection between companies


The Bailiff also carries out

statements of facts

(purely material and objective findings).
Prior to any assignment, and unless otherwise agreed, you will be asked to pay a retainer, the balance of which, after completion of the assignments, will be refunded.
