What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Good Evening,
I filed a case in district court (I know this is small claims but I am Pro Se and my claim is for under $10K) and I received a judgment in my favor against the Defendants for around $5500. I have written letters to both Defendants giving them the option to work out a payment plan and neither of them have responded. I have since hired an investigator to find any assests they have and I know Defendant #1 owns a car and Defendant #2 works full time. Defendant #1 works full time as well, I just need to find out the name of the employer. I know I can place a lien on vehicle and garnish wages - but HOW?
I keep reading just to submit paperwork to the Court. What does it have to entail? What kind of information? Do I request a hearing from the Court? Does anyone have any experience of actually having a client receving monies from garnished wages? I don't know if I am going to be wasting more of my time or if I should just "eat" the rest of the money.
I am lucky enough to work in a law office and have the capabilities to do this on my own, but if I do not garnish wages I don't think I can get anything else from them. Both of them do not own property.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I keep researching online for some sort of answer and I cannot find a STRAIGHT answer that I need. I am about to give up. I've done this on my own for 9 months now, I don't want to have to pay an attorney at this point just to do this. Unfortunately, the law firm I work for does railroad defense and everyone is out of the loop about this stuff...
