Who do you contact after getting a judgment against you?
your lawyer

You should try to collect as soon as possible for fear that his assets will disappear and with them any chance of financial return; his lawyer was putting you off, and judgements do expire(10...20yrs.), but that's not the critical issue - procrastination is!

Why do I have to hire a lawyer to get my money after I received a court judgment in my favor?
It is my understanding that while the court judgment was in your favor meaning that the person owing you the money was ordered to pay it back to you, there is no court managed system in place to see that your money is collected. What the judgment gives you is the legal right to garnish wages or find some other avenue to get the money. And without a lawyer, you may not be able to navigate the system to accomplish that. Stinks, doesn't it? If you could get this party put in jail or something - great, but still no money. You want the money and if the party isn't cooperating voluntarily, you could have a continuing battle. That is why Small Claims Court is really a joke. The judge rules in your favor, then you are back on your own to collect!!!! Good Luck!

Get a lawyer, it's a ton of paperwork and the details of what is required to file claims like this vary from county to county let alone state to state.If you already have the judgment, then you can get a court order demanding the information required to collect it. Once you have a court order, the debtor has to turn over all the information you need or be in violation of the order. This can result in additional sanctions against the debtor, including fines and/or jail time.Without the judgment and court order, you have no legal right to this kind of information.
