A
Sister State Judgment is a Judgment entered
in a court that is outside of California.
Out of State Judgments can be enforced under
the California version of the Uniform
Enforcement of Sister State Judgments Act.
If you already have a court issued Judgment
from another State that hasn’t been
collected and the Debtor or the Debtor’s
assets are in California, we know how to
enforce that Judgment and get your money.
We use all the legal remedies the law allows
to collect your money. We move fast
and aggressively. The procedure to enforce a
Sister State Judgment is quick and easy.
You don’t have to re-prove your case.
We file an “authenticated” copy of the
Sister State Judgment with the California
court, serve a notice and 30 days later we
can start efforts at enforcement.
We
effectively service clients who have cases
between $7,500 and $2,000,000. We are
a quality law
firm, not a collection agency or a mill
operation. We Sue! We don’t
send whiny letters and don’t usually even
contact the debtors before we start the
lawsuit unless required by law. We
don’t make repetitive phone calls and have
no phone collectors.
Most
cases involving sales of goods or services
have some form of written documentation.
This can include email, contracts,
correspondence, invoices, billings, a
statement of the account or admissions of
the debt. These are the documents which we
present to the court, together with the
testimony of the witnesses, that win your
case.
We
have a full staff of qualified and
experienced Lawyers
and Legal
Assistants. We use all the legal
remedies the law allows to collect your
money. We move fast and aggressively.
We offer a choice between contingent
fees (a percentage) or hourly
fees (charge by the hour). See our
FAQ page on which is
right for you and how to make the choice.
We
recover more money, more often than other
attorneys or collectors. If you are a
contingent fee client and we don’t
recover, there is no fee. The out of
pocket filing fees for the court enforcement
documents, motions, hearings and liens and
the fee for the process servers are
generally small. See our
FAQ pages concerning Costs.
