Did you file and win a Small Claims case? While you typically can't retain an attorney to help you win your small claims hearing in court, often the hardest part of the litigation process has yet to even begin: collecting your judgment.
Filing a claim and then winning your case in front of the judge is merely the beginning of the process. What happens if the defendant doesn't want to pay?
Whether you won by default and were awarded a default judgment, or your case was litigated on the merits and you were awarded a judgment and money award by the court, you still have to collect the funds from the other side.
