More details to this question:
I recently won judgements against my ex. He won't pay willingly, therefore, I have to hire a collections lawyer and I have heard that collecting is the hard part. My ex is trying to hide his money, but If I hired a collector, what is the best way to attack this - do they send a writ to the employer or to his bank accounts or all? Also, what is the success in garnishing with the employer? What if this exceeds (the 25% allowable) his garnished support? Thank you.

Not quite enough information. Family law collections is indeed an art, and can sometimes be lengthy and frustrating. You do not say what the judgments are for, but there is variation in what may be collected depending on type: principal, interest, (sometimes) penalties, and fees. See http://willicklawgroup.com/interest-penalties/.
What "the best way" is depends on facts you don't specify -- what he has, where it is, whether he's working, whether there are accounts (here or elsewhere), including potentially retirement or other accounts, etc. If you wish, feel free to call here to discuss those specifics, or consider scheduling a full consultation with this or some other office versed in family law collection law.
