The hard part
Winning the case was the easy part.
A court judgment says the debtor owes you. It does not make them pay. Collecting means finding assets, recording liens, getting writs of execution, scheduling debtor exams and wage garnishments — months of paperwork and fees with no guarantee.
Selling your judgment turns it into money now, and hands the enforcement work to someone who does it full time.
- Asset searches & debtor exams
- Liens, levies & wage garnishments
- Writs, filings & court fees
How it works
Four steps from judgment to payment.
Most reviews need nothing more than your case number and the court that entered it.
- 01
Send us the case
Share the case number and court, or upload a copy of the judgment. That is usually all we need to start.
- 02
We review it free
We confirm the judgment is still enforceable and research the debtor's assets — real estate, employment, business interests.
- 03
You get a written offer
Choose a cash buyout now, or a shared-recovery option that pays you more if we collect more. Your call.
- 04
Sign, get paid
You sign a notarized assignment. We file it with the court and pay you through escrow. Enforcement is now our job.
Who we buy from
If you hold an unpaid money judgment, we want to hear from you.
Landlords
Unpaid rent or damages from an unlawful detainer judgment.
Contractors & businesses
A client who never paid the invoice, even after you went to court.
Individuals with civil awards
A money judgment from a civil lawsuit that has sat unpaid for years.
Why sell to us
A responsible buyer for your judgment.
Some judgment buyers pay nothing up front and simply take your judgment on a promise. We work differently, and we put it in writing.

Joe Perez · FounderReal money, not a promise
When we offer cash, the cash is paid at closing through escrow — not after we try to collect.

Questions
Selling a judgment, answered.
Don't see your question? Talk to us directly. There's no obligation.
Call 949-749-4242Can I legally sell my court judgment?
Yes. A money judgment is property you can assign. In California the buyer becomes the assignee of record by filing a notarized Acknowledgment of Assignment of Judgment with the court that entered it (Code Civ. Proc. § 673), and must do so before enforcing it (§ 681.020).
How much will I get for my judgment?
Judgments sell at a discount to face value. The price depends on the debtor's assets, the age of the judgment and the cost of enforcement. Judgments against debtors who own real estate with equity usually command the strongest offers.
My judgment is several years old. Is it still worth anything?
Often, yes. A California money judgment is enforceable for 10 years and can be renewed (Code Civ. Proc. § 683.020), and it accrues interest while unpaid. Send it over and we'll check.
Do I have to pay anything?
No. The review and the offer are free, and we cover notary, filing and enforcement costs after the sale.
Will I have to go back to court?
No. After the assignment is filed, we are the judgment creditor of record and handle every hearing, writ and levy ourselves.
Do you buy judgments outside California?
We focus on California judgments, and we review out-of-state judgments case by case. Send us the details and we'll tell you if it's a fit.
