BURT & ASSOCIATES LAUNCHES LEGAL 360˚,
A STATE-OF-THE-ART LITIGATION SERVICE

LEGAL 360° Is A Credit Manager-Friendly Legal Service That Provides Real-Time and On-Demand Detailed Case Information

PLANO, TEXAS – March 27, 2006 – Burt & Associates (www.burtcollect.com) a premier provider of back office, accounts receivables and financial services announced that it has upgraded and reworked its proprietary LEGAL 360˚ to meet the legal follow-up and tracking needs, and requirements of Credit Managers, credit professionals and clients when pursuing court action against delinquent customers. LEGAL 360˚, utilizes a combination of personnel with vast experience in dealing with collection attorneys to help speed the process and the latest tracking and reporting technology to give credit professionals crucial case information.

Mr. Jerry Curtis, president and CEO of Burt & Associates called this the most effective and thorough tracking of legal services in the industry and a major help to credit professionals. “Credit managers will now be able to track the progress of their case from 360 degrees and get a complete picture and status of their case. A liaison will communicate with the attorney in charge and will communicate the attorneys advice on the best course of action and keep them updated on a wide variety of legal issues affecting their case, including reporting, depositions, and legal paperwork, etc. We are also able to advise these credit professionals when a delinquent client may file for bankruptcy. Based on the information that we gather using our intelligence component, we are able to advise clients on their options. We believe that clients will greatly benefit from this ability to make real-time business decisions.”

Mr. Curtis further explained that most legal offerings by accounts receivables companies today fall short in their follow-up and thoroughness. “LEGAL 360˚ combines the personal touch with state-of-the-art technology that assures complete and timely follow-up. We know that case follow-up and tracking are important to today’s credit professionals. In fact, when we polled credit managers, they told us that the current industry system is too slow. That is why we re-designed this system with their needs in mind. We believe that when a credit professional has LEGAL 360˚ at their fingertips, they won't want any other tracking or communications to help them keep up with their court case.”
