A law firm that mass-produced collection letters and litigation documents violated the federal debt collection act in a matter it filed a decade ago, a New York federal judge has ruled. The judge found supporting evidence for the conclusion that collection letter and litigation documents were "regularly" produced in volume "by non-lawyers at the push of a button." Upton, Cohen & Slamowitz -- now known as Cohen & Slamowitz -- had not decided as of Wednesday whether to appeal, an attorney for the firm said.

A law firm that mass-produced collection letters and litigation documents violated the federal debt collection act in a matter it filed a decade ago, a federal judge has ruled.
In August 2000, Upton, Cohen & Slamowitz, which is now known as Cohen & Slamowitz, sued Arthur Miller, after he failed to respond to a letter signed by Michael Slamowitz. The letter gave Miller 30 days to contest a $1,678 balance he owed on a Lord & Taylor credit card.
