Acquire Judgment Recovery Desk — For NC Contractors

NC Contractors — You Won the Judgment. Now Collect It.

You did the work. You didn't get paid. You sued. You won a civil money judgment. And then the judgment sat — because the debtor dissolved the LLC, claimed no assets, filed bankruptcy, or simply refused to pay.

Before you write off that unpaid NC contractor judgment, submit it for review. We evaluate whether the judgment still has recoverable asset value — real property liens, business assets, successor entity liability, or garnishment paths.

We are not a collection agency or law firm. No recovery is guaranteed. NC-licensed counsel may be required.

Common NC Contractor Judgment Situations

Unpaid Contract or Breach-of-Contract Judgment

You sued the owner or general contractor for nonpayment on a construction contract. You won a money judgment. But collecting it is a different fight — the debtor claims no assets, dissolved the entity, or simply won't pay. We evaluate whether the judgment has recoverable asset value.

Mechanics' Lien Reduced to Judgment

You perfected a mechanics' lien and reduced it to a money judgment. The lien may have expired or the property was sold, but the judgment remains — against the owner, the entity, or the general contractor. We evaluate enforcement paths including real property liens, execution, and garnishment.

Judgment Against a Dissolved LLC or Defunct Developer

The owner or developer entity that owes you money has dissolved, declared bankruptcy, or disappeared. The judgment is against an entity that no longer exists. We evaluate whether the principals have personal liability, whether there are successor entities, or whether assets remain that can be reached.

Subcontractor Judgment Against General Contractor

You have a judgment against the general contractor who was paid by the owner but didn't pay you. The GC claims to have no money, but may own real property, equipment, vehicles, or other assets. We search for debtor assets and evaluate recovery options.

Supplier Judgment for Unpaid Materials

You supplied materials for a job and obtained a judgment when the contractor or owner didn't pay. The judgment may be collectible through a lien on the improved property, execution against business assets, or garnishment. We evaluate the specific enforcement path.

Important: Mechanics' Lien vs. Money Judgment

An NC mechanics' lien is a powerful pre-judgment remedy — but it has strict deadlines and procedural requirements. Once a mechanics' lien is reduced to a money judgment, it becomes a civil money judgment subject to NC judgment enforcement law, including the 10-year enforcement period, debtor exemptions, and execution procedures.

If you have an active mechanics' lien that has not yet been reduced to judgment, consult an NC construction attorney immediately — the filing and enforcement deadlines are strict. If you already have a money judgment from a construction dispute, submit it to us for review.
