Ok so you don't have a writ of execution.
That's the next step. A lawyer doesn't need to be involved with finding the other person's assets. That's what the sheriff and the court liason find out once the writ is executed.
They typically try to go after bank accounts, then wages, then state benefits (can't touch federal benefits usually), and when that fails, they seize physical property from the household of the defendant and sell the property at auction. You get the money and the amount gained goes toward the judgment.
I could have $2,000 sitting in a cigar box, a plasma TV, surround sound system, tools for a woodshop (lathe, drill presses, etc.), fancy computer, jewelry, or any variety of untitled possessions that would not be discoverable by an attorney trying to look at my net worth on paper, but easily confiscated and sold by a sheriff carrying out the writ of execution. That's what the writ of execution helps with, and that is my advice to you. Best wishes.

| Thanks for your help and thanks for having a forum to express this new time of crime thats running rampant. BTW my Attorney says he cannot readily find any assets on Kristi therefore getting a writ would be useless. He also is tired of chasing after her without getting paid...frankly I don't blame him. I have asked for the file back and I'm going to pursue this with the local PD. I continue to email her and she occasionally contacts my attorney and claims she going take action against me for demanding my money back and posting her misconduct on the web. CAn you believe that...She could have easily paid this off over the 5 years since she cashed my check. I would advise anyone in a similar situation to go straight to the police from the get go.
