We audit government and private data bases to locate unclaimed personal and business assets.
We research judgment debtors, their business associates and families for fraudulent transfer of assets.
We interview businesses and individuals with knowledge of the judgment debtors assets.
We conduct physical surveillance of the judgment debtor, their family and associates when necessary.
We use forensic accountants and hand writing experts to verify business and personal documents.
The Five things most judgment holders don't know
1) Judgment enforcement and recovery is NOT taught in the majority of law schools, it is a specialized field.
2) Conducting a court ordered deposition to determine if there are reachable assets to pay a judgment is expensive
3) Just because your judgment is a lien earning interest does not mean you will ever collect anything.
4) Most judgments are collected through settlements and do NOT include the high interest added to them by statute.
5) A lien on a debtors residence does not guarantee you will be paid if the house is foreclosed on or sold to someone.
Nationally 80% of judgments are never collected because a forensic investigation was not conducted to search for hidden assets.
