JUDGMENT RECOVERY
Although we are located in the metro-Houston area, we pursue judgment collections for creditors, attorneys, law firms and businesses in all areas of the United States.
Judgment recovery can prove to be a daunting challenge. Research indicates that over 80% of civil judgments are never satisfied. Why? Sometimes it’s the law and the financial status of the debtor. Often, however, a judgment creditor simply lacks the knowledge, time and training necessary to locate and enforce the payment of their judgment.
After we have conducted a thorough asset search / bank account search and have a case assigned to our company, there are no further costs to your law firm/company. We do not get paid until we make a judgment collection for you.
We accept high-quality, collectible cases where the principal rendered at verdict is $10,000 or more, where an asset search has been purchased.
