Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Judgment Recovery

I have a $2104.96 judgment against this man. All of his assets are in corp. name. However he is the only person that owns the corp. Would I be able to file a writ of execution against him and go after the corp. His cars, houses, boat, stores, and bank accounts, are all in corp. name. Under Florida Laws would I be able to go after any of these things? I know in California I can pay a Sheriff Deputy to go to either one of the stores and/or bank accounts and have them cease the assets. I know that each states laws are different, this is why I need your help in this matter. The Clerk of Courts in Florida are not sure what the law is they have never had anyone ask these type of questions before. I would really appreciate any information you could give me reguarding this matter. I would like to thank you for your time in this matter.

Re: Judgment Recovery

In most states you could go after your debtor's stock, which evidences his ownership of the corporation. In Florida, however, there is a plethora of statutory protection for debtors, as a result, your best bet is to talk to a Florida attorney.
