I have won a small claims suit against a friend who owes me money. How can I collect? Are there lawyers who specialize in tracking down people and getting them to pay?

If your friend has a job then you can file a petition to garnish his/her wages, or get a lien on his/her property.  You may also hire a collection agency or creditors rights attorney to collect on the judgment.
