Once you obtain a judgement against some one you can collect by any means that your state law allows. You can garnish wages, levy a bank account, file a lien against real property. They key is getting the correct paperwork done to do these things. It can be difficult. There are collection agencies that will help you for a portion of the money that they collect. Good luck.
