I collected once with for a small amount when my lawyer garnished wages from the defendant. You really have to try to verify your attorney is aggressive at trying to collect. Usually you never end up at trial if as a plaintiff you have a strong position. The defendant defaults and puts his efforts in trying to make sure you don't collect. It really can be frustrating if your a plaintiff because there are too many ways people can escape judgment. I have a strong case against someone. Went to serve him but he had disappeared from last known location. Just located new address after months and going to try again. I had to become my own investigator to find him.
