A law firm that only works for carriers
We built Carrier Counsel because trucking companies were getting the worst of both worlds: collection agencies that don't understand transportation, and transportation lawyers who don't do collections.
Our focus
Carrier Counsel is a transportation law practice focused exclusively on recovering money owed to motor carriers. We handle broker insolvency and bankruptcy claims, shipper and consignee collections, freight fraud, unlawful chargebacks, and the defense of bankruptcy preference demands. We do not represent brokers or shippers against carriers.
How we work
- Contingency first. On most collection matters you pay a percentage of what we recover and nothing if we don't.
- Plain answers. Within one business day of receiving your file, you get a written assessment: who owes you, what deadlines apply, and what we recommend.
- Built for volume. Whether you have one unpaid load or a hundred, our intake and case management handle it without losing track of a single invoice.
- Nationwide reach. Debtors don't respect state lines. We litigate in federal court and work with trusted local counsel wherever a case needs to be filed.
Who we serve
- Owner-operators with their own authority
- Small and mid-size fleets
- Specialized carriers: reefer, flatbed, tanker, hazmat, oversize
- Factoring companies and dispatch services pursuing carrier receivables
