Key Takeaways
Judgment recovery is often more complicated than clients anticipate and requires a proactive approach.

Asset investigation is a crucial, early step that can save significant time and money by identifying collectible assets.

Private investigators are essential partners for attorneys, as they possess specialized skills to uncover hidden assets that legal professionals might not find.

Clients' emotional factors can significantly impact their decisions, sometimes causing them to overlook the long-term benefits of a thorough financial recovery effort.

Attorneys' incentives can vary, and not all lawyers are motivated to pursue the collection of a judgment after the initial legal victory.

Proactive measures written into contracts can make the collection process much easier in the future.
