For a full-blown civil suit, you'd be a fool to try it yourself. For a small claims court you don't need a lawyer and having a criminal conviction against him, with specifics as to damage incurred, should make it a walk in the park to win it. Unfortunately that doesn't guarantee payment; blood out of a stone, and all of that.

A civil suit can win you a judgement, which as been mentioned before, doesn't put any money in your wallet. However, win a judgement and you have access to all this person's financials. If they own any property, you can force a sale to get your money. If the judge allows a payment plan, any raise or bonus the fellow gets, you can attach for more money. the civil suit and judgement is a good way to go because even if you never get your money, you can legally harass this as$hat for your own amusement until you get your money

i have a more satisfying idea - go do $4000 in damage to his car (or house, if his car is already a POS), and tell him you'll be sending him $10/month.

Ugh, our lovely justice system, have I got a story about that!...
Anyway, just be happy you're actually getting paid back. You should be able to recoup interest from it also (not 20% or anything astronomic, but something). Don't waste your time with a civil suit, all your get is a judgment that may as well be written on two-ply. If the guy doesn't have much money, they can't make him pay you up front. |
