Collecting Judgments - In Person
You won the case. Now don’t let your judgment turn into a very expensive piece of paper. Post-judgment enforcement is where even strong litigators lose momentum, and where victories can evaporate without the right strategy. This program gives you the tools to keep the fight going: Rule 69 discovery, liens, levies, bankruptcy surprises, and the real-world tactics that turn a judgment into actual recovery. If you’ve ever felt a great win stall out at the finish line, this program shows you how to finish the job.
