If the company went out of business, you may be out of luck. If he didn't owe the money personally, rather, the money was owed by a compnay that had an LLC or was otherwise incorporated, then the business is who you have to go after. With them owing that much to others, they may not have enough assets to cover the debts. You would certainly pay more than $400.00 in attorney's fees and court costs and then you may be unable to recover the money. Of course, if there are assets to take, then you would get your costs back, but that is a big maybe.

If this is something you would like to pursue, I would suggest that you consult with an attorney.
