anyone legally savvy?

some may know already, but for the many who dont the whole saga is linked in my sig.

the short story for my legal question is i had a vendor issue, i've taken him to arbitration and small claims. no money... but have judgments and a transcript entered to district court docket. civil/district will not tell me what forms i need next.

how can i forge ahead and get the most money returned?

try this again.
i drafted a form up for a supplemental proceeding, according to the clerk whatever i drafted up wont be signed by a judge. theres no forms online, or any at the clerk, i cant find anything in washington states govt sites about any guidelines for this process.

found one from utah and copied its layout, that is what was rejected, partially because i typed small claims and it had to be elevated to district court.

Why not just use a lawyer---his fee will be charged to the people whom you are suing. You have to make sure that it is done right.

In Texas, 30 days after the judgment is signed, it becomes final. Your next step would be to execute on the judgment. You will need some kind of proof of the defendant's assets. If it's a business, check for corporate and business filings through your Secretary of State's office and search for forms on "execution on judgment".

its a business, the next step i heard is writ of garnishment of debts other than earnings (since he's a business owner he can claim he has no income). i was told i also need to do supplemental proceedings which there is no form for, to find out his assets.

i'm well past the 30 day mark for payment, i have up to 10 years from what i seen.

my concern is order of operations. i'd like to find proof of his assets, then file the writ of garnishment.

ha never seen this post. problem is all the attorneys want me to pay them 200 - 250 to sit down with them without even knowing FIRST if they'll even accept the case. im not throwing some jackass my money to tell me no. there was only one attorneys office that his secretary said he might do it, but thats her opinion not hers.
