Collect a Small Claims Court Judgment Lawyers

Before you sue someone, make sure this person has assets if he or she refuses to pay their judgment. Even if a Small Claims Court decides in your favor, the court won't collect your judgment for you. These are things you should think about when filing a small claims action: 

  • In certain states you can't seize someone's car if the car is worth below $2,000.
  • You should check to see if the person you are suing even has a job or other assets. You can't collect wages from a very low income worker, someone's welfare, Social Security, unemployment insurance or pension or disability check.
  • It is good if the party you are suing is solvent and likely to voluntarily pay.
  • If a business is involved it is possible for you to collect from a cash register or seize equipment owned by the business.
