PictureGregg Roberts
I enforce state and federal court judgments (minimum $5,000, no consumer debt) throughout Southern California.

I started working in courthouses in 1987, when I was 25. By 1994 I had worked in more than 100 courthouses in Texas and Tennessee, and had abstracted more than 100,000 public records. I trained dozens of employees and wrote training documentation. I developed an indexing procedure that cut 30% off the abstracting time needed in certain counties.

I have a certificate in Professional Investigation from Boston University. Since 2011 I have been a member of the California Association of Judgment Professionals, the premiere organization of its kind in the country. I take a methodical approach to locate judgment debtors, identify assets, create a feasible enforcement plan, and work the plan. I keep my judgment vendors updated with status reports.

In 2014 I became a registered process server (Riverside County #1562).

Disclaimers
I am not an attorney and I do not provide legal advice or representation, nor am I licensed to perform investigations for others.

If you are a debtor, any communication between us is part of an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.


Most judgment creditors believe that their judgment is worth the dollar amount that is printed on it. In reality most judgments are difficult or impossible to enforce. Even those that are enforceable can take years to enforce. Some will have to be compromised for less than the face value plus interest.

I have to be very selective about the judgments that I accept for enforcement. Don't be offended if I don't accept yours. Maybe someone else will.

Since I am not an attorney, I do not represent you in court or in any other way. I purchase your judgment from you in exchange for a fraction of any net recovery. Once I buy your judgment from you, it is mine, and I am therefore legally entitled to file papers and appear in court to attempt to enforce the judgment. The law requires me to have an "absolute" assignment of your judgment.

I retain the right to give your judgment back to you for any reason whatsoever, including:


  • I discover that you significantly misrepresented one or more important facts about your case.
  • Despite diligent effort I'm not able to find assets that can be levied to satisfy the judgment.
  • Other cases have taken more time than expected and I can't give the judgment I bought from you the attention it deserves.

I engaged Gregg Roberts to collect a judgment after another firm failed to get
results. Gregg was both responsive and communicative, always keeping me
apprised of the latest activity.  Using a debtor’s examination, he found the debtor’s
pain point and negotiated a quick settlement. I had been trying to collect this $40K
for over three years. I hope I never have to, but, I would use Gregg again in a
heartbeat -- very pleased with the results.

For 35 years I possessed a Top Secret security clearance with the DOD. Among other
duties, I conducted and supervised national security background checks and criminal
investigations on base, interfacing with ATF, FBI, DEA, CIA, and various other agencies
and contractors. I would highly recommend Gregg for any position of trust and security.
Impeccable integrity is a rare trait. I have met only a handful of investigators who show
the exceptional integrity, intelligence, tenacity, eye for detail, writing ability, and work
ethic that Gregg Roberts exhibits. All these ingredients are necessary for success in his
very difficult business. If he can’t enforce your judgment, it probably can’t be enforced.

I made a business loan to a relative who defaulted on the debt. The debtor made
payments for a while but then stopped. I was not willing to let it go without a fight. Gregg
was able to find a bank account with $2,900 in it and have the sheriff seize that money. I
would not have known how to do that, and I don't have a lot of free time to teach myself.
The judgment debtor eventually told me that the bank levy had caused her some significant
trouble and she would never put money in a bank again. But Gregg did not give up just

because she said that. A couple of years later he found another $5,200 in a bank account!
So Gregg has collected virtually the entire original principal and interest, and there's still a
few thousand dollars more that he might be able to get for us. Either way I'm happy to have
gotten something rather than nothing. At least this debtor did not get off completely scot-
free after ripping me off. That's probably what would've happened if I hadn't found Gregg
and trusted him to do something with this judgment. I am happy with Gregg's work and
I highly recommend him to anyone who doesn't have the time, knowledge, or inclination
to struggle with the system.

I have known Gregg for some years as a fellow member and colleague in California
Association of Judgment Professionals (CAJP). Gregg exemplifies the highest standards
CAJP strives to attain in an exacting business that requires equal measures of
persistence, knowledge, precision, experience, and professionalism. Gregg’s background
in court records makes him a “go to guy” when you need someone to take over your
case and steer it through sometimes counterintuitive court documents and procedures.

An organization like CAJP survives not only on dues and other sources of revenue, but
on selfless members who volunteer their time. Not only has Gregg stepped forward to
assist with our book project and information technology upgrade, but he often steps in
on our internal discussion forum to help people find legal references. The wellspring of
professional expertise and collaboration he brings to judgment enforcement truly is
extraordinary. Gregg would be one of my first choices for judgment enforcement or
service of process.

I know thousands of enforcers, and I now use only the best ones. Despite the best
efforts of some people in the field, judgment enforcement continues to be a bit like the
"Wild West." Too many amateurs take assignment of judgments, but do nothing with them,
then disappear. Gregg Roberts is different. I've been a professional colleague of his for
three years, and he has always impressed me with his dependability, clear communication,
knowledge, and lack of BS. You can count on him to either do what can be done to
enforce your judgment, or tell you why he can't (and refer you elsewhere if you like).
You might be disappointed in the court system's ineffectiveness, or that your debtor has
no assets that can be seized to satisfy your judgment. But I doubt you'll be disappointed
in Gregg.

I've been a close friend of Gregg Roberts since 1984. We've worked together on several
projects involving writing, research, or information technology, including public records
reporting in Austin and Houston. He enjoys helping people and conducts himself with
high integrity. I once loaned him a large sum of money, which he repaid on time with
interest.
I’ve been mentoring him in the business of judgment recovery. He is one of
the smartest people I've ever met, and a go-getter. He is destined to go far in this
business.

In 2014-2015 I had the honor and pleasure of working with Gregg Roberts as the editor
of my first published book. Since we live in different states, I did not get the opportunity
to meet him before paying him in advance for his services. Not only did he live up to his
commitment when it would have been difficult for me to force him to do so, but he
exceeded my expectations. I could not have imagined beforehand the level of attention
that Gregg would end up paying to every line of text. He helped me raise the accuracy,
clarity, and engaging quality of the whole book. His high standards forced me to rethink
various issues of presentation, credibility, audience expectations, and successful marketing.
At times I was annoyed by Gregg's perfectionism -- and now I'm grateful for it. Your
judgment debtor will probably be annoyed too, when Gregg goes after him. Everyone
deserves this level of quality in their business dealings, but few of us are lucky enough to
get it.

I am delighted to recommend Gregg Roberts as a judgment enforcer. I have been Gregg's
associate for approximately four years in various activist causes. He is widely respected as a
first-rate researcher, a hard worker, and a man of loyalty and integrity. He bases his
decisions on fact and hard work, and if the tools required for solving a problem do not yet
exist (including software tools) he will create them. I recommend him highly to anyone
seeking a judgment enforcer.
