Judgment Enforcement

As judgment collection attorneys we understand how our clients feel after receiving a judgment – knowing it is worthless until enforced.

As creditors, our clients learn that some debtors are extremely creative in avoiding the payment of their debts. Our efforts provide clients the best possible chance of locating and converting debtor assets to recover their losses. To effectively enforce a judgment, it is vital to determine how the debtor has structured their income sources and asset holdings.

Investigative Methods

Unlike most judgment collection attorneys, Don Brigham is a former FBI Agent, and uses his training, experience and resources to track and locate judgment debtors and reveal their assets and sources of income. He utilizes the Society of Former FBI Agents as a valuable source of national and international contacts that can assist with skip tracing and seizing assets across borders.

Additionally, as a licensed Private Investigator in the State of California, he gains access to information that a client might never obtain on their own such as the debtor’s banking and brokerage account relationships. Clients rely on our ability to apply a unique combination of tools and experience at our disposal to satisfy their judgment.

Conversion of Located Assets

A judgment collection attorney offers resources that surpass a typical collection agency. Our firm devises strategies to convert a debtor’s assets and income to satisfy your judgment using all statutory remedies available, including:

Post-judgment discovery of information to aid enforcement
Wage garnishments
Account levies
Turn-over orders
Executions on real estate and personal property interests
Assignment orders
Charging orders
Creation of judgment liens
Identifying and voiding fraudulent asset transfers, creditor suits, and receiverships.

We apply every method at our disposal to overcome the challenges that are keeping you from the money that is rightfully yours. Contact a judgment collection attorney at our office to learn how we can assist in recovering your judgment. If you have secured or unsecured receivables for which you have not yet obtained a court-ordered judgment, learn about how our role as a Commercial Collection Attorney can generate results on your behalf.

Domesticating Sister-State and Foreign Judgments

Enforcing judgments often requires additional resources and efforts when the assets lie outside the jurisdiction of origin. As a judgment collection attorney, we offer our services to judgment creditors and their counsel to domesticate Sister-State and Foreign Judgments in California. If you are attempting to collect against a debtor whose assets and income sources are located in California, please contact our judgment collection attorneys to learn how we may be of assistance.
