Meet the Founder
Industry leadership. Deep receivables expertise. A proven commitment to helping law firms improve collections, strengthen cash flow, and thrive.
"Earned revenue should never become a concession. A firm that does not vigorously and diplomatically defend its receivables is subsidizing other companies at the expense of its own partners and employees."
- MICHAEL PIPKIN
Prior to founding AR Defense, LLC, Michael Pipkin led corporate debt restructuring and commercial recovery initiatives across the legal, financial services, and specialized healthcare sectors. Having witnessed hundreds of firms sacrifice millions in legitimate billings due to fear of confrontation, he established AR Defense as a premier institutional partner.
Under his leadership, AR Defense has pioneered the Diplomatic Recovery Doctrine—combining real-time portal telemetry, non-adversarial executive negotiation, and strict compliance with state and federal commercial recovery laws.
