I won a judgment against my former landlord back in July. I hired an attorney who won't get paid until he collects the judgment. My problem is, can I fired him and then try to collect myself? He didn't put a lien on the landlords properties quick enough and he sold them and moved to Arizona BEFORE the final judgment. So my attorney told me that this will "be a tough one". The judgment is for over $6,000 so I would assume it would be worth my attorneys time to try and collect. Do I just chalk this up as a loss, wait for my attorney to do whatever, or fire him and try to collect myself? Also, doesn't this go on his credit? Does it matter if he moved to another state?
