U.S. Bank
At U.S. Bank, we view every transaction as an opportunity to build deeper relationships with our customers. We have developed new, more comprehensive reporting and tracking programs that let our bankers, across all lines of business, understand a customer’s full relationship so that more advantageous recommendations and innovative solutions can be presented.
Sometimes a single employee or product can be the right answer, but more often, it takes the collaboration and teamwork of financial professionals across many areas of the bank working together to make sure the customer gets the best we have to offer. Sometimes the answers are simple, but more often, our customers depend on our regional, national and global capabilities, and our expertise in specialized fields to see the big picture and to bring to the table sophisticated solutions to complex questions.

Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co. LPA
Our innovative initiatives include three core areas of our business — people, product and performance. On the people side, our partnership has developed a leadership mentoring program — each attorney is assigned a partner mentor to guide him or her in career development and marketing, sharing best practices, helping make improvements in writing, file processing, leadership and court demeanor.
On the product side, one of our senior partners identified a completely new practice area for the firm, helping our financial clients generate better recoveries on commercial loans, combining our expertise in upfront call center collections with our steadfast recovery litigation.
And in the performance area, our IT team has made great strides in further developing our core data warehouse, a centralized data hub that interconnects all of our offices and systems together, providing faster and more detailed reporting for customers and our internal vertical teams.
Our efforts are necessary to keep us as the nation’s top debt recovery law firm and are all targeted to help us maintain and improve our overall customer service — we like to say, “At WWR, we get it.”
