So you have a money judgment...now what?

You finally have your judgment in hand. It is now time to contact NIS. Our team of experienced investigators will analyze your judgment and develop a strategic Judgment Recovery Plan based on verified asset intelligence to support your enforcement efforts.

National Investigative Services’ Judgment Recovery Plans are your fastest path to cash. Too often, judgment recovery efforts are not based on investigative facts, and a few garnishments are filed before a case is (electronically) set aside as “unrecoverable.” Our approach follows the money—identifying assets and financial pathways—and provides actionable intelligence and enforcement strategies for you and your legal counsel to pursue.

Any legal strategies or recommendations provided are based on investigative findings and are intended for use by you and/or your legal counsel.

Judgment Recovery

What is Judgment Recovery?

Judgment Recovery (or judgment enforcement) is the process of identifying and pursuing assets—ranging from personal and real property to business interests and liquid funds—that may be used toward satisfying a money judgment.

Obtaining a judgment is often a long and costly process, typically involving a team of advisors and legal professionals. Once the judgment has been awarded, that team has often moved on, leaving a creditor with limited direction on how to proceed. Whether an individual, a company, or a financial institution, the judgment recovery process is rarely fast or simple.

National Investigative Services breaks down this process by focusing on the critical component often missing: verified asset intelligence. With experience supporting both sides of judgment recovery matters, we know where to look. Using a strategic investigative approach, we identify assets—including those that may not be readily apparent.

Our judgment recovery support process involves four main steps: Debt Analysis, Asset Investigation, Enforcement Support, and Asset Preservation (with the goal of positioning assets for potential recovery). Each step plays an integral role in building a fact-based foundation for effective judgment enforcement.
