I am not a lawyer, I am a judgment referral expert. This article is my opinion, and not legal advice. If you ever want legal advice or a strategy to use, please contact an attorney. Judgment enforcement is a very paperwork-intensive process, with many Sheriff and court-related legally-required documents. Even though the documents, and how to complete them may be confusing, you must learn the way to complete them correctly. You do not want to have a judge, or clerk of court toss out a vital document at an inconvenient time, letting the judgment debtor to (e.g.) close their bank accounts to thwart a garnishment. When your court requires particular paperwork, you must use the court's approved forms and formats. Whenever you need a court or legal form, first check if it is available from the court. Many times, the form you need can be found on the official court website. If not, the law library has court-approved forms that you can copy. If you are filling out a post-judgment court document or form for the first time, it is good idea to first find a court-stamped example, of the exact, or a similar document, in the case files at your court house. When you need to make any kind of motion, or a reply to a motion, find an example of one which has already been completed in a court case file, or at the law library. By starting with a sample which previously worked at that court, you can save lots of hassles and time. You could use the example you find as a template for what you require. Don't simply copy the samples you find. Be sure to delete what does not apply, add what is required, and change what needs to be changed. While certain courts are not picky about the forms and documents prepared by mortals (non-lawyers), other courts have firm rules on what documents they will accept, and how they need to be formatted. You will have toretain an attorney, find a sample; or pay someone who works in a legal office or a paralegal, to help you prepare your motions or other documents. Some (mostly those who sell them) brag about the wonders of pre-paid legal services, and say they can proofread court documents for you. I have heard that pre-paid legal services to be really limited, to be of any actual help to someone recovering a judgment. Good luck in recovering your judgment, and remember your smile might help make things happen, even at a court clerk window. http://www.JudgmentBuy.com - Judgment Enforcement.
