PRA Law Firm

What PRA Law Firm does

PRA Law Firm, PLLC is a Longwood, Florida-based civil recovery and asset protection law firm with more than 35 years of operating history, serving retail corporations nationwide. The firm delivers two core service lines: Civil Demand Services, which recovers money from shoplifters, dishonest employees, and other offenders through demand letters and structured repayment plans, and Restitution Services, which secures in-court and out-of-court settlements for losses from theft and fraud. PRA operates a contingency-based fee model in which clients pay only upon successful recovery, eliminating upfront cost for the client and aligning the firm's economics with collection outcomes; specific contingency percentages are not publicly disclosed.

Service delivery combines a small internal professional staff with a nationwide network of Of-Counsel attorneys that enables jurisdiction-specific civil recovery handling across all 50 states. The firm invests in enterprise-grade infrastructure: a Microsoft Azure cloud platform with SFTP and point-to-point encryption for secure client data exchange, integration with client case management systems, and dedicated digital portals (praportal.com for client case tracking; pralawpay.com for offender payments including credit card, check, cash, and installment plans). A SMS-based payment reminder service (up to 4 messages per month) was added in 2026 to support installment collections.

The go-to-market is exclusively B2B enterprise sales targeting corporate loss prevention and asset protection departments, primarily within retail corporations, grocery chains, and value-driven/discount retailers, with Fortune-500 clients referenced (logos redacted). Distribution is via direct enterprise sales engagement and inside-sales outreach supplemented by thought-leadership content (civil recovery blog), LinkedIn presence, and Loss Prevention Foundation membership. PRA holds SecurityMetrics PCI Validation certification. The firm is a privately held professional limited liability company (PLLC) with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding.

Revenue model

1. Civil Recovery Contingency Fees: Contingency-based fee structure where clients pay only when funds are recovered. The firm bears the upfront costs and risk, with fees deducted from successful recoveries. This creates a performance-based alignment where the firm's success is directly tied to client recovery rates.
2. Civil Demand Services: Fees generated from processing civil demand letters and correspondence with theft offenders, including settlement negotiations and payment plan arrangements. Revenue accrues upon successful recovery through demand letters or civil litigation settlements.
3. Restitution Recovery Services: Legal services for in-court and out-of-court restitution settlements, including court filings, attorney-to-attorney negotiations, and judgment enforcement. Fees are earned upon successful restitution collection.
