Securing Collection Of Unpaid Judgments
When a landlord fails to return a security deposit or a tenant doesn’t pay rent, the first step is to request payment again. After multiple collections attempts fail, however, you might ultimately fight for and receive a judgment. Unfortunately, even with a judgment, you may continue having trouble securing the funds you are owed.

No recovery, no fee. There are no upfront lawyer’s fees to hire us for the collection of an unpaid judgment. We will only charge these fees if we make a recovery for you.
Why Hire An Attorney To Collect Your Judgment?
While countless debt collection services exist, the vast majority have questionable reputations and are known for taking advantage of clients with hidden fees. Additionally, while a collection service may threaten to take action to collect on a judgment, only an attorney has the legal authority and ability to do so.
Founded in 1961, the attorneys at our family-owned law firm have earned a reputation for aggressively fighting and winning cases for clients.
As your lawyers, you can trust that we will actively pursue full payment — always keeping you updated — until we make a complete recovery or reach a favorable settlement on your behalf. We don’t get paid until you get paid, so you can rest assured that we will work tenaciously on your case.
Hiring a judgment collection attorney offers significant advantages over using traditional collection agencies. Attorneys have the power to file lawsuits, issue subpoenas for financial records, and initiate court-authorized asset seizures, which collection agencies cannot do. This legal authority allows attorneys to enforce judgments more effectively by pursuing various remedies such as bank levies, wage garnishments (where allowed), and placing liens on real estate.
Moreover, experienced attorneys understand the complexities of state and federal debt laws and ensure that all collection efforts comply with regulations like the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This protects clients from potential legal pitfalls and shields debtors from unlawful harassment or abusive tactics.
Attorneys also have access to investigative tools like skip tracing and asset searches to locate hidden or transferred assets, enabling them to uncover bank accounts, vehicles, business inventory, and other property that can be used to satisfy the judgment. They can also conduct depositions under oath to identify assets and challenge any fraudulent transfers designed to hinder collection.
Because collecting on a judgment is often more difficult than winning the original case, having skilled legal representation is crucial. An attorney can advise on the best strategies tailored to your unique circumstances, negotiate payment plans or reduced settlements when appropriate, and take swift legal action to enforce your rights.
Ultimately, hiring a judgment collection attorney increases the likelihood of recovering the money owed to you while providing peace of mind through professional, ethical, and effective handling of your case.
