We are pleased to review judgment-recovery and hidden-asset matters, but please note that forensic accounting engagements commonly start around $30,000; accordingly, we typically proceed only where the judgment amount exceeds $200,000.
Judgment Enforcement & Post-Judgment Asset Recovery
Winning a judgment is only half the battle—collecting on it is often harder. RSA Risk Management & Investigations, led by former federal agents, specializes in uncovering hidden assets and enforcing judgments through expert forensic and investigative work.
RSA’s team is composed of highly-credentialed, federally-trained certified specialists and expert witnesses.
More than 125 years experience in conducting criminal, civil and administrative investigations
Why Judgment Enforcement Matters
Securing a judgment is often the end of a long and expensive legal battle. Yet, winning a judgment on paper does not guarantee recovery. Debtors frequently move, conceal, or dissipate assets to avoid payment. For creditors, businesses, or individuals holding judgments, the challenge is not the legal ruling—it is turning that judgment into cash.
This is where forensic accounting and investigative expertise become critical. RSA Risk Management & Investigations, PLLC specializes in judgment enforcement and post-judgment collections. Unlike standard collection agencies, RSA brings the skills of Retired Special Agents—former IRS Criminal Investigation, FBI, and U.S. Secret Service professionals—who spent their careers locating hidden assets, uncovering financial crimes, and preparing cases for court.
The RSA Difference
What sets RSA apart is our investigative approach. We do more than search databases. We combine forensic accounting techniques, data analytics, and investigative fieldwork to identify and trace assets that others overlook. Our findings are designed to withstand court scrutiny and to provide attorneys with actionable leads for enforcement.
RSA’s Comprehensive Judgment Enforcement Process
1. Debt and Case Analysis
Every enforcement action begins with understanding the judgment, the debtor, and the financial context. RSA reviews:
•Court judgments, pleadings, and prior discovery
•The debtor’s known business interests and employment
•Prior transfers, liens, or encumbrances
•Available financial affidavits and disclosures
This initial phase frames the scope of potential recovery and guides the strategy.
2. Asset Investigation and Tracing
RSA applies forensic accounting to follow the money. Using both proprietary technology and investigative methods, we do the following:
•Convert bank, credit card, brokerage, and wealth management statements into structured datasets for analysis
•Categorize expenditures to detect asset acquisitions, transfers, or dissipation
•Identify transfers to unknown accounts for further discovery
•Search for real property, vehicles, aircraft, and boats
•Trace business interests, partnerships, and shell entities
•Investigate cryptocurrency holdings and digital wallets
•Review public records, liens, and UCC filings
•Use lifestyle analysis to compare spending against reported income
These efforts often reveal hidden wealth, undisclosed accounts, or fraudulent conveyances intended to keep assets away from creditors.
3. Collaboration with Attorneys
Forensic accounting is most effective when integrated with legal strategy. RSA works closely with counsel to:
•Draft and direct targeted subpoenas to banks, brokers, employers, and third parties
•Prepare interrogatories and requests for production focused on financial data
•Identify and support adversary proceedings to unwind fraudulent transfers
•Recommend turnover actions, garnishments, and charging orders
•Develop discovery strategies for depositions and examinations of the debtor
By aligning financial findings with legal remedies, RSA maximizes the likelihood of successful recovery.
4. Asset Preservation and Recovery
Identifying assets is only the first step. Preserving and recovering them requires swift and coordinated action. RSA assists attorneys by:
•Providing evidence to support motions for injunctions or freezing orders
•Preparing flow-of-funds charts and exhibits that demonstrate dissipation
•Supporting turnover motions and writs of execution
•Documenting evidence for contempt motions where debtors defy court orders
•Assisting with settlement negotiations based on evidence of undisclosed assets
RSA’s work ensures that once assets are located, they can be lawfully preserved and recovered.
Why Choose RSA for Judgment Enforcement?
Judgment enforcement requires more than persistence—it requires skill. RSA brings together:
•Retired Special Agents with federal investigative training
•Court-tested forensic accounting methods
•Advanced tools for data analytics and blockchain tracing
•Close collaboration with attorneys to align financial evidence with legal remedies
We do not simply report where assets might be. We provide actionable intelligence that attorneys can use to enforce judgments and maximize recovery.
Specialized Capabilities
Cryptocurrency Tracing
Many debtors now move assets into cryptocurrency, assuming it cannot be traced. RSA’s blockchain analytics capabilities allow us to identify wallets, trace transfers, reconstruct trading activity, and tie digital assets to real-world purchases.
Data Analytics
RSA’s proprietary technology converts raw financial statements into Excel-based datasets, allowing us to define transaction categories, flag unusual transfers, and isolate payments to paramours, insiders, or shell entities. This process often reveals dissipation or hidden assets invisible in raw records.
Hidden Asset Detection
Through public record research, business filings, credit reports, and OSINT (open-source intelligence), RSA uncovers real property, vehicles, business interests, and accounts omitted from disclosures.
