Delaware’s state slogan is “It’s Good Being First.” Ciconte Wasserman Scerba & Kerrick, LLC, likes to think of their firm as “first in collections.” They are Delaware’s largest collection law firm, with over thirty years of experience in commercial and retail collections.  Its collection attorneys litigate cases at every court level throughout the State. Ciconte, Wasserman, Scerba & Kerrick’s collection team includes attorneys, paralegals, collectors, skip tracers and other support staff.  Special process servers and private investigators are also utilized in order to maximize the probability of recovery. Fifty percent of the law practice is devoted to collections.

Daniel lives in Wilmington, DE.  He is a 2001 graduate of the University of Delaware, and a 2004 graduate of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School.  He is licensed to practice in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Delaware Federal Court. He has worked in debt collection for five years. On behalf of his clients, he has tried or argued cases in every court in the State of Delaware. He holds the following positions in the Commercial Law League of America: Executive Council – Eastern Region, Executive Council – Young Members Section and he has served on various subcommittees for both the Region and Young Members Section. He is also a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute.

When asked about something interesting or unusual that debt collection work has taught him, Daniel said, “You can’t judge a claim by its cover, as even the most uncollectible claim or judgment may be fully collectible.” The thing he enjoys most about his job is litigating cases. When not working, he enjoys intramural sports, being outdoors and cooking, and he’s active in the Sunday Breakfast Mission in Wilmington, DE.  He and his wife, Elizabeth, have two young children, Isla 2 ½ and Naomi 6 months.

Ciconte Wasserman Scerba & Kerrick, LLC has been listed with NL since 1983, for 30 years. They are active and longstanding members in the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA) and the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA).

The major areas of the firm’s practice include representing creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, replevins, mechanic’s liens, equipment leasing, deficiency balance claims, insurance claims, transportation claims and medical claims; collection and bankruptcy litigation, complex commercial and retail litigation and subrogation litigation.
