    This booklet is a product of my own past experience in the judgment recovery industry. This manual only contains my own personal tips and proven methods based on years of experience as a judgment recovery specialist. While this material is designed to assist you in the recovery of court awarded judgments, we do not present this material as legal advise. It must be pointed out that there may be circumstances that may prevent any monetary recovery in any judgment recovery endeavor. A few examples of these are bankruptcy, unemployment, child support and below poverty level, among others. This is what is known in the business as “Judgment Proof.” The fact that these circumstances due exist, they may, and in most instances, will prevent you from collecting on your judgments. Because of this we do not make any guarantees that your judgment recovery efforts will be successful with each and every case. We are not, nor do we pretend to be, a law firm. We are not in the business of giving legal advice. Nor are we advocating a lawyer, client relation. If legal advice is what you seek we strongly suggest that you contact an attorney. This book is for informational purposes only, and not to be used for legal guidance…
