Attorney Esther Mesidor
At E. Albert Law, LLC, we understand that third-party asset recovery companies ("TPAs") play a vital role in connecting claimants to the funds they're owed. But navigating Georgia's foreclosure and tax sale overage processes requires legal compliance. That's where we come in.
We partner with recovery companies to ensure every claim is filed correctly, deadlines are met, and funds are distributed in accordance with Georgia law. By working with us, you can focus on building client relationships while we handle the legal heavy lifting.
We value strong partnerships with TPAs who connect homeowners and heirs with our firm. To reflect this, our fee in TPA cases is typically half of our already discounted standard fee — only 5% for non-litigated cases and up to 10% for litigated cases.
By working together, we are both supporting the client in taking home the maximum recovery possible while maintaining a transparent, fair structure for our TPA partners.
We provide the legal authority required by courts and trustees to pursue claims properly. Our processes are designed for compliance and efficiency, minimizing the chance of rejections or delays. Our attorney's fees are never split with third-party companies and will not be subject to fee-splitting arrangements. Unless otherwise agreed, our fees are deducted from the TPA's portion of recovery. We monitor for probate requirements, liens, and statutory deadlines so that claims can proceed smoothly and in compliance with Georgia law.
To protect both your company and claimants, we require a valid written agreement with the homeowner/claimant, clear assignments, contingency agreements, or powers of attorney, copies of all notices and sale documents, and cooperation in providing updates or additional documents upon request.
At E. Albert Law, LLC, we recognize that claimants are often facing one of the most difficult moments of their lives — losing a home. These funds may represent years of equity, a family inheritance, or the only financial resource left after foreclosure. We approach each case with compassion, understanding that our role is not just legal but also human.
Unfortunately, we have also seen many unscrupulous actors in this space charging excessive and exploitative fees. Our firm is committed to strict ethics and fairness. We do not support inflated or unreasonable fee arrangements, and we maintain a low-fee model to ensure that the rightful owners — the claimants — retain as much of their funds as possible. While we do not place formal limitations on fees, we believe that fees should not exceed 30%. This commitment to integrity and compliance guides everything we do.
