Sister State Judgment Enforcement
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 has not been collected and the Debtor or the Debtor's assets are in California, we know how to enforce that Judgment and recover your money. We use all the legal remedies the law allows to collect your money. We move quickly and aggressively. The procedure to enforce a Sister State Judgment is fast 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 enforcement efforts.

Arbitration Awards Enforcement
Some of our clients request that we enforce Arbitration Awards. An Arbitration Award is not a Judgment and enforcement requires that the Award be turned into a Judgment. The procedure is to file a Petition to Confirm the Arbitration Award with the proper court. This requires filing a case and serving the Debtor. Once the court determines that there is a valid Arbitration Award and confirms it as a Judgment, we begin enforcement using all the legal means available. We know how to enforce Judgments and get your money. We move quickly and aggressively.

Unpaid Sales of Goods and Services
Many of our clients sell either goods or services. Goods can be almost any type of product, whether you make it, distribute it, or sell it to the end user. Service providers are people who provide something you cannot hold or see, but has value. Examples of service providers are accountants, attorneys, technology consultants, advertising agencies, real estate professionals, loan arrangers, and contractors. We effectively service clients who have cases between $5,000 and $2,000,000.
Most cases involving sales of goods or services have some form of written documentation. This can include e-mail, contracts, correspondence, invoices, billings, a statement of the account or admission of the debt. We couple these documents with witness testimony to win your case.

Mechanics Liens & Construction Debts
If your debt arises from a construction project in California, you may have added remedies available to help you collect your money. These may include Mechanics' Lien rights, Stop Notice rights, or Bond Claim rights. There are very technical requirements for each of those and we are fully familiar with construction payment remedies. If you are a contractor, material supplier, design professional, or a supply house, you need a lawyer who is familiar with your special remedies.

Judicial Foreclosure on Real and Personal Property and Deficiency Claims
If you have a debt to collect that is secured with a Trust Deed or a Security Agreement, there may be collateral that we can foreclose against and sell to pay the debt. If there is not enough collateral, or it becomes valueless, you may have a claim for the amount that is not secured by land or other property.
