A judgment is an asset on your balance sheet. Like any asset, its value depends on knowing when to act. Most uncollected judgments don’t fail because the debtor is bankrupt; they fail because the creditor stops paying attention while the debtor’s financial picture changes.

Judgment Monitoring is a quarterly (or monthly, on request) surveillance program that flags meaningful changes in your defendant’s life so you can move quickly when collection becomes feasible.

What we monitor

• Real-estate transactions — new purchases, refinances, sales, and recorded transfers.
• Vehicle registrations — new titles and lien releases.
• Business filings — new Secretary of State entities, agent changes, or franchise tax events.
• Employment changes — new wage-data appearances or licensing actions.
• Court activity — new lawsuits filed by or against the defendant, bankruptcies, lien releases, divorce filings.
• Address changes — new utility connections, voter registrations, or mailing addresses.

How alerts work

When a monitored event fires, you receive an email summary within one business day. Material events — large real-estate transactions, bankruptcy filings, or judgment payoffs by other creditors — trigger immediate notification.

Pricing

Quoted based on the number of defendants and monitoring cadence. Typical engagements run $79 to $149 per defendant per quarter. Ask for a quote when you submit your case.

When to use Monitoring

You won a judgment, ran an asset search, found nothing meaningful today. The standard advice is to write it off. Monitoring keeps the case alive at low cost. Common trigger events — an inheritance, a new business, a real-estate purchase — turn a previously uncollectible judgment into a payable one.
