New York judgment enforcement

You won in court.
Now collect what you’re owed.

Most money judgments are never paid. We locate the debtor, trace their assets, and enforce your judgment under New York law. You pay nothing unless we collect.

Roughly 80% of court judgments are never collected. Winning is only half the battle. Collecting is the other half, and that is where we come in.
About us

A New York firm built for enforcement

Judgment Recovery Services is a New York-based judgment enforcement firm. We work on what happens after the verdict: finding the debtor, following the money, and using the collection tools New York law provides to turn an unpaid judgment into cash.

We are not a law firm, and we do not sell legal advice. We do the investigative and enforcement legwork, and we bring in licensed counsel when a matter needs to go before a court. Our interests are aligned with yours, because we are only paid when you are.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I need a lawyer to work with you?
No. We handle enforcement under a clear services agreement, and we bring in licensed counsel when a court filing or appearance requires it.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. Our fee is a percentage of what we actually recover: 35% of all amounts collected. Reasonable enforcement costs are reimbursed from the recovery. If we collect nothing, you owe nothing.
How old can my judgment be?
New York money judgments stay enforceable for years and can be renewed, so an older judgment is often still very much collectible. Send it over and we will check.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Your case details are kept confidential and used only to pursue your judgment.
What can’t you take?
We do not handle judgments that have already been satisfied or vacated, or any matter involving child support.
