Law Offices of Jacob Verstandig: What the Public Record Shows, and What to Do If the Name Is on Your Papers
The Law Offices of Jacob Verstandig appears in our directory as a law firm that shows up on the collection side of merchant cash advance matters. That is what the name tells you and it is all we could verify. Searches of the BBB directory, the New York State Law Reporting Bureau's published decisions, and the open web on September 23, 2026 returned no BBB profile, no reported decision, and no firm website under the name. This page corrects an earlier version that quoted rates and terms as if a law firm had any, and tells you what to establish from your own agreement and any filing that carries the firm's name.
What can be verified
Very little, and we say so rather than fill the gap. A law firm does not fund advances and does not set factor rates; if the Law Offices of Jacob Verstandig has written to you or filed suit, it represents a creditor, and that creditor's agreement governs the balance, the guaranty, and any security interest. An earlier version of this page used a merchant cash advance funder template and discussed the firm's factor rates and reconciliation clauses. That was wrong and has been removed.
Attorney conduct in New York is overseen by the Attorney Grievance Committees of the Appellate Division, and licence status for any New York attorney can be checked through the New York State Unified Court System's attorney search. That search will confirm whether an attorney by this name is registered and in good standing; it is the one public record that exists for a lawyer who has no BBB profile and no reported decisions.
Why the firm is contacting you
Because a creditor placed your account with it. For a merchant cash advance that means the funder has declared a default and moved to demand or litigation. The first contact from a collection law firm is often a letter, but it can be a summons; the response deadline is the single thing to check first.
What to establish from your own paperwork
- Which creditor the firm represents. The letter or the caption on the filing names it. The agreement with that creditor governs everything.
- The purchased amount and the purchase price, and every debit. Divide one by the other for your real factor.
- The reconciliation clause and your written requests. This is where New York courts have denied MCA funders summary judgment.
- Personal guaranty and confession of judgment. These decide what can be enforced against you personally and how fast.
- The deadline. Usually 20 or 30 days from service depending on how you were served. A missed deadline becomes a default judgment for the full balance plus fees.
If a lawsuit has been filed
Answer it. A default judgment forfeits the proof-of-funding and reconciliation defenses that have stopped funders in New York. If you have been served, see what to do when the Law Offices of Jacob Verstandig sues.
Can the balance be settled?
Usually there is room, because an accelerated balance with fees exceeds the cash advanced and litigation costs the creditor too. The creditor decides; the firm carries the offer. See how a balance the firm is collecting can be settled and how MCA debt relief works.
Business Debt Adjusters reviews the agreement, the debit history and the filing and tells you what is realistic before the deadline. Bring the documents; they are the record this page cannot supply.
