If you already have a judgment against the person (i.e. a monetary award), you should file a judgment lien on the property and have a marshal serve it on the land records and judgment creditor. You should have a lawyer draft the lien - (should only cost $250-300). You should also go the the court to fill out a bank execution and have it signed by the clerk and served by a marshal on the surrounding banks. This will enable the marshal to go into the debtors bank account- if one exists - and take the money to satisfy your claim. Again, i would have a lawyer deal with this too.
