Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
I won a small claim case, the defendent has not paid. I was told in order to collect what is owe I have to find the bank the defendent use. Could you explain to me how I find the bank the defendent use?

Small claims court usually will attempt to enforce if the defendant has appeared, or there is an address, so don't forego that assistance. Unpaid judgments also result in suspension of driver's licenses. Execution against a bank account is one of the methods of collection when you have a judgment, too complicated to explain here.
