ARA / Fraud and Forensic Services: Judgment Enforcement Did you know that 80% of all judgments go uncollected? If you’ve been awarded a judgment where the principal amount of the rendered verdict is $50,000 or more, we can help! We operate on a NO-FEE contingency basis and we do not get paid until we make a judgment collection on your behalf. Our fee schedule is a sliding scale, based on a percent of the total judgment amount.
THE JUDGMENT ENFORCEMENT PROCESS The following information is intended to provide you with an overview of how the process works:
STEP ONE – Determination of Collectability
We must first determine if the judgment is even collectible. A preliminary search is conducted to determine if there are any assets worth going after and to verify that the judgment debtor has not filed bankruptcy. If a bankruptcy is filed and the Judgment Creditor is listed on the bankruptcy, the judgment is not collectible. If the judgment debtor has not listed the judgment creditor on the bankruptcy, we can proceed with caution, to enforce the judgment.
STEP TWO – Judgment Agreement Contract
