I have won a judgement against her. The problem is to collect.
I have ordered a bank levy on her/business bank account which I think has no money.
I can't find any real property she owns on record.
She owns a business (The abstract of judgement is only with her name). Can I put a lien on her business and how?
I want to get a Writ of Execution and have the sheriff collect the money for me. But it costs so much to hire the sheriff and at the end of the day, I don't know how much can be collected. What are my options? Would Writ of Sale a good route and how? Thank you.

Is the 'business' a corporation?? If so, you can't touch it. However, if it is a proprietorship, you can.

Pretty simple. Pay for the 'normal' process of enforcing a judgment (sheriff, court fees, etc.) or sell your judgment to someone else.
