Enforcement Of Judgments
The Judgment Enforcer Advantage
Advantages of using a Judgment Enforcer
Experience in Judgment Enforcement. I have approximately 20+ years of judgment enforcement and service of legal process experience. My business is specifically geared toward enforcement of judgments. I am a member of the California Association of Judgment Professionals (CAJP) (www.cajp.org), a statewide trade association. The CAJP is composed of not only judgment enforcers, but attorneys and other professionals who are some of the best legal counsel for consultation on enforcement of judgment issues.
Purchase vs. Hourly Legal Fees. I do not charge hourly or other “fees” to a Judgment Creditor. I do not act as an attorney and do not render legal advice. I represent myself before the court (in Propia Persona, or Pro Per). When I acquire a judgment, a purchase is made on that judgment. Much like any other item of personal property, the difference of the amount between the face value of the judgment and the purchase price (the “discount”) is the profit. If I do not recover the judgment, I make no profit.
Post-judgment Enforcement Expenses of the Judgment Creditor. Unlike outside counsel, my efforts to recover a judgment do not impinge on the current expenses of the Judgment Creditor. If there is no recovery on a judgment, there are no “out of pocket” costs, or legal expenses. Consequently, if there are no monies recovered on the judgment, there is no loss against the judgment. Any costs which I incur in enforcing the judgment (i.e.: sheriff’s fees, court filing fees, process server fees) are added to the amount due on the judgment as allowed by statute and rules of court. Any advances made by counsel or judgment creditors are contractually dispensed with, as applicable.
Resources to Execute Against the Assets of the Judgment Debtor. There is substantial motivation to locate and execute against assets of the Judgment Debtor. Even though the court orders a Judgment Debtor to pay, very seldom does that occur without someone taking extreme measures. I have developed significant resources and methods to utilize in locating and executing against assets of the Judgment Debtor.
Limited Legal Fees. I believe the Judgment Creditor’s legal fees should be limited to the amount the Judgment Creditor retains his counsel for. Attorney fees incorporated in the judgment should be the final exposure a Judgment Creditor has for obtaining that judgment. Costs of enforcement of a judgment should not come from the Judgment Creditor – they should be paid by the Judgment Debtor, and added to the amount of the judgment wherever possible.
