Using A Judgment Attorney
This article is my opinion, and is not legal advice. I'm a judgment broker, and not an attorney. When you ever want legal advice or a strategy to use, you should contact an attorney. Attorneys are vital experts that are often, yet not always, appropriate choices to collect a specific judgment. Judgment enforcement can often be difficult and time-consuming. When a lawyer is qualified and right for your judgment, they can really help. Lawyers are especially helpful for tough collection cases, to manage all or part of a judgment recovery project.
The majority of lawyers are professionals at winning the lawsuits that create judgments, and the majority of them don't collect judgments. For the majority of lawyers, winning court cases is usually much more exciting than enforcing judgments. If the right judgment case meets a suitable judgment collection lawyer, magic (recovering money from your judgment debtor) could come to pass.
If your judgment debtor has assets, yet stubbornly refuses to repay you, retaining a collection lawyer can often persuade your debtor, to find some money to settle or pay your judgment. Usually, hiring an expert collection attorney to collect a judgment, will save you a bunch of hassle and stress.
While retaining a collection attorney can be very expensive, with a hefty hourly fees and retainer, sometimes a lawyer is the right choice to recover your judgment. Ideally, you may find a lawyer which would work for at least partially, for a contingency. Unfortunately, many judgments aren't the right kind to interest one hundred percent contingency collection lawyers. Recovery lawyers often will work on a contingency, when your judgment is large and the judgment debtor owns a lot of assets.
Usually, the larger a judgment and the judgment debtor's available assets are, the more likely you are to retain a lawyer. Besides making sure your debtor has sufficient assets to at least partly pay your judgment, the most chance for a successful collection, is when you retain the right lawyer for your judgment.
How can you find the right recovery lawyer for your judgment? Most often, if you want to find a lawyer, it's a good idea to start with your local State Bar for your state or county, or get a referral from another trusted lawyer, a friend, or a judgment referral expert. The best collection lawyer is one who has successfully collecting judgments in the past, where the post-judgment recovery situations were like that of your judgment and debtor.
You don't always require an attorney to recover judgments. You can recover a judgment yourself, sell it at an incredibly steep discount, or assign it to a judgment enforcer; however sometimes retaining a lawyer (who is by definition an expert) makes the most sense.
