Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio
Trying to collect after winning judgement
I won a $7000 judgement in court and of course the other party has not paid a dime. It has been a year and a half. I have hired 2 different lawyer to help me collect. The first one gave up right away. The second one has had this for a year and has collected nothing for me. How do I collect my judgement?

If two lawyers can't do it, sounds difficult. Dont give up. You should try to convince another lawyer to try. The old saying goes, "You can't squeeze blood from a turnip." Your judgment will need to be renewed every 7 years.
