At Stryker, we provide professional judgment collections and asset search investigative services to businesses, Law Firms, and their attorneys. Our founder is a designated trial expert for “Asset Search Investigations” and their permissible purpose. We conduct asset search investigations nationwide, though the core of our investigative expertise arises from the California Civil Court system, which adheres to a higher and often tougher judicial standard.
Pre-Litigation
Pre-Litigation asset search investigations are a preemptive tactic used to determine what assets or income may be seized in the event a judgment is ordered. Subsequent, information can be used to determine if the judicial venture is economically worth the effort. Evidence obtained during this process can be admissible in court and used at trial to prepare a better case.
A secured position will give a creditor significant leverage over the debtor, which may prompt the debtor into a quick settlement. It may also provide significant protection in the event of bankruptcy (or even prompt the debtor not to file bankruptcy) because secured debts are not dischargeable.

Forced Sale of Real Estate the Debtor Owns
After attaching a lien to the debtor’s home, you don’t have to sit patiently and wait for the debtor to sell or refinance the property. If the debtor has equity in their home, the judgment holder can force the debtor to sell the property and use the proceeds from the sale to pay off the debtor’s outstanding judgment. If the debtor home carries liens that were filed before the judgment holder’s lien, such as a mortgage lien or tax lien, these liens have “priority” over the judgment lien and must be paid first. Thus, a judgment holder may be reluctant to force a sale if other liens exist that would make collecting the judgment less likely.
California Bank Levy
When a bank receives a notice of a levy, it must immediately freeze the debtor’s account. In addition to being unable to make a withdrawal, the bank account is frozen, and any outstanding checks or automatic debit card payments won’t clear (unless there are enough exempt funds in the account). A federal law that went into effect in May of 2011 requires that banks receiving a garnishment order for an account-holder who receives federal benefits review their deposits for the last two months to determine if any of these funds were deposited and thus exempt. By Federal Law, a bank must wait 21 calendar days after a levy is served before sending payment. The Sheriff holds the funds for 20 more days and then releases them on the next business day. Of course, under ideal circumstances, the depositor(s) can waive this waiting period.
