Collecting on a judgment includes locating and seizing the debtor's bank accounts. But as a judgment creditor, don't try this alone—hire an experienced collection attorney to handle the legal complexities and avoid costly mistakes. Your attorney will guide the overall process, which can vary by court, state, and other factors. Generally, it involves getting a court-approved writ, serving it on the bank to freeze funds, and then collecting what's owed after any exemptions or objections are resolved. The whole thing can take 10-60 days and requires precise paperwork and timing.

Need a collection attorney? I've got you covered. I work with some of the best collection attorneys in every state. I'll give you a referral so you'll be in good hands.

Before starting the bank levy process, you will need to hire a Private Investigation Agency, such as Carl Mason P.I. (that's me), to do the asset search. My asset report will include banking relationships of the judgment debtor. It will include all the information you and your attorney will need for the bank levy. If you don't hire my services, just be sure to hire a credible private investigation agency that specializes in asset investigation work—skip general P.I.s who treat this as a side gig, because they don't have the data, process, analysis, and understanding that make the difference between recovering money and spinning your wheels.

With professional help on both the legal and investigative sides, you'll maximize your chances of turning that judgment into cash without the headaches.

Collecting on a judgment can be a long and difficult process, but it's worth it in the end!
