How do I collect on money owed to me by former clients

[rsa12357]

What is the name of your state? Connecticut.
Okay, I can see I’ll need to rephrase my question in order to get a response. I am owed money by several clients for in excess of $3,500. How do I go about getting a judgment against these people for the money that is owed me? Or more simply, how do I get my money from them?

How many clients and what is the largest amount owed by a single client?

Roughly 8 clients and I am owed $860, $1,200, $2,600, $3,500, $4,000, $4300, $5,600, $8,200

Go see an attorney to begin an action for recovery. You can't take these to small claims court except the smallest. And once judgement is gained, you can place a judgement lien against the defendent's assets.

That's how you get your money. It ain't easy but it's worth it.

Actually, CT small claims is good for anything up to $3500. The larger ones would have to go to a higher court.

Here's some CT Small Claims info - there are forms there as well:
