About Us

Founded in 1982 by Richard and Lois Dobberstein and incorporated in 1997, Collection Associates, Ltd. has been diligently serving its clients for almost four decades. The company initially focused exclusively on healthcare collections, and grew substantially over the first eighteen years with little emphasis on sales and marketing. Collection Associates, Ltd. grew as a result of client referrals by performing a valuable service to its clients in a professional, ethical, and effective manner.

While the founders are still actively involved in the company, second-generation-owners Adam and Marc Dobberstein, both attorneys, are in the process of taking over the operations of the company. Since 2000, Collection Associates, Ltd. has experienced significant growth, and that trend is expected to continue.

Collection Associates, Ltd. takes a principle-centered approach to the collection process. Our “Firm-But-Fair” approach is built on two core principles that govern the way our company operates:

• Our clients deserve to be paid for the products or services they have provided.
• Consumers deserve to be treated with respect.
