Testimonials

Just a quick note to Richards and Richards Law firm
So many times in life we only hear of the complaints and negativity.
I would like to acknowledge the other side.
I went to Richards and Richards a few years back.
 I was lucky and blessed enough to have Mr. James Iida represent me in a long drawn out legal problem.  I can honestly say that with out him, I am not sure where I would have ended up.  If Jim was away, I always had backup at the office, between the staff and another Lawyer.
Jim is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and has the patience of a saint.  As frustrating as my situation was, he never wavered on his commitment to see the proper and honest outcome.
Thank you Richards and Richards, and especially Jim Iida for his dedication.

Forced Sale

If the judgment debtor owns land there is a four step process to force the sale of that land to pay your judgment. Each step requires a court appearance. Richards & Richards collection lawyers are in court all the time dealing with this type of enforcement.

The land must be worth more than the balance owing on mortgages and other charges registered against it. As well an allowance must be made for the consumer protection exemptions granted the debtor.

Usually the debtor pays rather than running the risk of forced sale.

It might be surprising how little might be owing on a judgment which is suitable for the forced sale process.

Give us a call before making a decision on representation.
