Re: collecting on judgement
You should hire a lawyer that will take the case on contingency, i.e., he gets to keep a percentage (usually 1/3), of whatever he can collect on the judgment. If he doesn't collect, then he doesn't get a fee. It could be really expensive to keep paying a lawyer an hourly fee. There are plenty that would take your case -and there are also non-lawyer companies that would attempt to collect under a similar fee agreement.
