Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

� I was researching how to enforce a judgment I was awarded against a homeowner whose investment property in Las Vegas flooded my condo.� This� homeowner lives in Berkley, California.� The judgment is for $5,750,32, I sent the homeowners a demand letter allowing them to submit a payment or a payment plan.� I feel I may have to pursue this matter through a sister state judgment in the state of California.� I am looking for an attorney who practices in California and has a flat fee, with no hidden cost.� Can you please tell me what the cost would be to pursue this matter if� the homeowner does not cooperate?� Also, if I apply for a sister state judgment, can I also add any�court/legal cost or interest?

Thank you for your time,

Richard Moniz

No one will take on a judgment collection case for a flat fee. There are just too many variables involved in what it will take to collect. I and pretty much any litigator could quote you a flat rate to process the sister state judgment paperwork if you contact them in a non-public manner, but after that there is no way of telling what it will cost depending on whether the judgment debtor just rolls over or vigorously fights collection, or somewhere in between.
