Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Collect a settlement

In October I won a case I filed against a previos emplyee for not performing the services he was contracted to do. I was awarded a $1000 settlement with 9% annual interest. I know this person will not pay unless forced. I want to file a lien against his property and/or garnish his wages. What do I need to do?
