I am not a lawyer, I am a judgment referral expert (Judgment Broker). This is just my opinion concerning any actual or imagined risks of referring judgments.Could the judgment debtor or the Original Judgment Creditor sue the Judgment Enforcer (JE)? Could the JE sue the judgment lead provider? Could a judgment lead provider be sued for referring judgment leads to another person? Could a judgment broker be sued for providing judgment leads to the JE?Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Anyone can sue anyone else for any reason, even if there are no valid reasons. Of course frivolous or groundless complaints (lawsuits) are hardly ever successful, however such lawsuits cost money, time, and hassle for everyone.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 burn anyone, treat everyone well, are honest, cheerful, helpful, and fair; you are much less likely to be sued. If you are sued for doing nothing wrong, consult with a lawyer who knows about anti-SLAPP laws, which often 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 might get you sued. However, following all laws, and the other suggestions mentioned above should minimize any risks. Here are my opinions about any possible risks involving judgment leads: If one party gets sued, other parties usually cannot be sued unless they broke a law or were part of, or involved with, the cause of action that initiated the lawsuit. For the rest of this article, let us assume a lead referrer does nothing wrong.When someone refers, passes along, or suggests a party with the judgments potentially contact a Judgment Enforcer (JE) (or lawyer 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 reach a deal for the JE to purchase or attempt and recover the judgment lead. The decision and ultimate result, of the attempt to enforce the judgment, has nothing to do with a judgment lead provider.As long as a lead provider in no longer involved with the previous referral in any way, no matter what happens, it is very difficult to imagine a judgment lead provider to be found liable for anything that could happen.What happens when an entity refers a lead to a judgment broker, who then later refers that lead to the Judgment Enforcer (JE) (or lawyer or collection agency). In this case, the original lead referrer has no way of knowing who the picked JE is, or what a JE or debtor does. I believe using a judgment broker adds a layer of separation, that minimizes any (already very small) chance of any liability of the original judgment lead provider. 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 by both the judgment owner and the judgment enforcer.
