The slow pace of our economic recovery has forced drastic cuts across all levels of government. With the wave of natural disasters and protests that have struck this year, many cities are now faced with even tougher financial situations. To continue providing essential public services, many cities are turning to one of the most respected collection firms in the industry, the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP.

Linebarger Goggan, a Platinum Partner and long-time Business Council Member with the Conference of Mayors, currently represents more than 500 cities throughout the United States, including some 84 members of the Conference of Mayors. This year alone, 23 cities have joined the firm’s client roster.

With over 35 years of success, and a singular focus on collecting delinquent government receivables, Linebarger Goggan has honed its service offering to meet the unique needs of its more than 2,200-plus government clients. A third of the firm’s clients have partnered with them for over 20 years.

Linebarger Goggan will recover approximately a billion dollars in additional revenue for its public sector clientele in 2011. The firm’s business model has already resulted in four Conference of Mayors Public-Private Partnership Awards, including recognition for the firm’s work with Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Port Arthur. They are the only four-time winner in the 75-year history of the Conference of Mayors.
