Expert Advice When You Need It Most

How can I collect a legal settlement from someone who has few assets but does collect SSDI, and is supported by family members.

Asked over 2 years ago - Decatur, IL

My old neighbor in Decatur burgled my house, got caught, arrested, charged and convicted and ordered to pay $7400 in restitution. How can I collect this? His car and house are in his mothers name, but he does collect an SSDI check every month. If it matters, I now live in North Carolina.

I do not practice in your state, however it appears that the court ordered the defendant to pay as part of the sentence, and if it is not paid I would let the probation or parol department know so that it can be addressed under the community supervision agreement that allowed him to be released.
You should contact law enforcementand the court where the crime occured and if not hire a lawyer in that jurisidiction to make inquiry.

Good Luck
