The Risks of Judgment Leads

I am not a lawyer, I am a judgment referral expert (Judgment Broker). This is only my opinion about the real or imagined risks of referring judgments.

Could a debtor or the original judgment creditor sue a Judgment Enforcer (JE)? Could the JE sue the judgment lead provider? Could a judgment lead referral be sued for providing judgment leads to another person? Could the judgment broker be sued for providing judgment leads to the JE?

Sadly, the answer is yes. Anyone can sue someone else for any reason, even if there are no valid reasons. Of course frivolous and groundless complaints (lawsuits) are rarely successful, however they cost money, time, and hassles for all parties.

If you cheat, steal, defraud, or lie, you are much more likely to be sued. Karma comes into play often - over the long term, you get what you give, etc.

If you obey all laws, honor all obligations, don't rip off anyone, treat everyone well, are honest, cheerful, helpful, and fair; you are much less likely to get sued. If you are sued for doing nothing wrong, find a lawyer who knows about anti-SLAPP laws, which usually can stop most frivolous lawsuits. One solution is insurance, but insurance policies have a lot of loopholes, which may leave you without coverage. Another solution is to consistently make sure that all your actions cause no one any valid grounds to sue you for a valid reason.

Any legal action you take may get you sued. However, following the law, and the other suggestions mentioned above should minimize any risk. Here are my opinions about the possible risks involving judgment leads:

If one party gets sued, other parties usually cannot be sued unless they broke laws or were part of, or involved with, the cause of action that started the lawsuit. For the rest of this article, let us assume the lead referrer does nothing wrong.

When someone refers, passes along, or suggests the party with the judgments possibly contact the Judgment Enforcer (JE) (or attorney or collection agency) there is no relationship, contract, or agreement, except for a one-time recommendation.

Neither the judgment owner or the JE has any obligation to make a decision for the JE to purchase or try and enforce the judgment lead. The decision and ultimate result, of the attempt to enforce the judgment, has nothing to do with the judgment lead provider.

As long as the lead provider in no longer involved with the previous referral in any way, no matter what happens, it is very difficult to imagine the judgment lead provider to be found liable for anything that could happen.

What happens if an entity refers the lead to a judgment broker, who then later refers that lead to a Judgment Enforcer (JE) (or lawyer or collection agency).

In this case, the original lead referrer has no way of knowing who the selected JE is, or what the JE or debtor does. I think using a judgment broker adds a layer of separation, that minimizes any (already very tiny) chance of any liability of a original judgment lead referrer. Judgment lead referrals are not product sales, obligations, or telemarketing sales campaigns, for fungible items.

Judgment lead referrals result in one-time arms-length, voluntary and informed information choices, about financial rights, made between the judgment owner and the judgment enforcer.
