Send us the files your firm has stopped chasing. We'll find the assets the debtor never disclosed — and show you how to turn the judgment into money.
Writrun reads federal contracts, SEC filings, bankruptcy dockets, and business affiliations the debtor never produced. Our team works the research, presents the findings, and walks your attorneys through where to direct the next writ. No portal to learn, no software to roll out.
Public records only — no GLBA-restricted databases
The biggest hole in a creditor's-rights firm's revenue isn't a slow trial calendar — it's the dormant judgment file. Debtors don't volunteer where their money is. Writrun reads what they never disclosed — federal-contract income, insider holdings, registered business affiliations — and tells your team where to direct the next writ.
A mid-size collections firm with 100 dormant commercial judgments at $23k average is sitting on $2.3M of stranded value. If our research surfaces enforceable assets on just three of them in a month at 33% contingency, that's $22,770 of new revenue the firm wasn't going to bill — pulled from files already in the system.
At the firm level, the calculus collapses to one question: how many of your dormant files have an asset you haven't found yet? Even at a 3% hit rate on the dormant book, the math dwarfs the engagement.
That's $420 to $700 in loaded staff cost per matter — before anyone files a writ. We do the same triage work for you, in parallel across the whole dormant book, with every fact source-cited and timestamped. Your paralegals get their week back; the partners get a queue ordered by recovery probability instead of intake date.
You don't log into a portal or learn a new tool. You hand us the judgments your firm has stopped pursuing and we hand back the findings — presented, defensible, and ready for the next enforcement decision.
Pick the dormant judgments — the ones sitting in your firm's system that nobody has the hours to actively work. Old defaults, write-off candidates, post-bankruptcy survivors. Whatever your team would otherwise leave on the shelf.
Our analysts read federal-contract awards, SEC officer filings, business registrations, bankruptcy dockets, and sanctions lists for each debtor. Every fact is captured with a source URL and a retrieval timestamp.
Each batch comes back as a source-cited recovery report, walked through live with your attorneys: where the assets are, what the recovery score reflects, and what enforcement order we'd file next.
Your firm pulls forward the matters that are now collectible and writes off the ones that genuinely aren't. Most engagements expand from there — fresh judgments queued in, re-pulls before writ filings, ongoing presentation cadence.
The report is structured around the four actions a creditor's firm actually takes after judgment: garnish, attach, screen, defend. Plus the recovery score that decides whether to do any of those at all.
A 0–100 probability score with the contributing factors itemized. Tells the firm which judgments in the dormant book are worth pulling forward — and which to write off without spending another hour.

The work that decides whether a judgment is worth a writ.
Skip-trace data is faster on raw individual lookups. A senior paralegal applies more judgment than software. Filing the writ is still the cheapest experiment if you only have a few matters. Writrun's claim is narrower: defensible asset triage at the matter level, sourced entirely from public records, walked through with your attorneys.

We're working directly with a selective group of creditor's-rights firms right now. Send us the judgments your team has stopped chasing and we'll show you, file by file, what those debtors look like in public records — and how to turn the finding into a collectible asset.
Old defaults. Files that hit a dead end after the first writ came back negative. Post-bankruptcy survivors. Anything sitting in your case-management system that isn't actively being worked. Those are the matters where research moves the needle the most.
No portal to roll out, no software for your paralegals to learn. Our team produces the asset reports and walks your attorneys through the findings. You keep the legal judgment calls — and a clean record of where every fact came from.
Tell us which findings led to recovery, which didn't, and what the report should have surfaced. That's how we build something genuinely useful for firms doing post-judgment work — and it's the entire ask.
Rather than ask you to commit on a pitch, we partner with your firm for a focused exploration — roughly two months — working the judgments you've already written off. You watch the findings turn into filings on your own files, then decide whether and how to keep going. No long-term contract gates the decision.
After a short intake call you hand us a slice of your dormant judgment book. The first source-cited reports come back fast — on your actual debtors, not a canned demo — so your attorneys can act while the exploration is still young.
Each batch is presented live: where the assets are, what's reachable, and which enforcement order we'd file next. Your firm pulls forward the collectible matters and files. We re-pull before writs and queue the next batch.
At the end of the window we sit down with the numbers: which dormant files turned collectible, what was recovered or is in motion, and what the rest of your book likely holds. You leave with a documented picture, regardless of what you decide next.
Some firms expand into an ongoing arrangement with fresh judgments queued in and a standing presentation cadence. A few decide the timing isn't right, and that's a clean exit. Either way you keep every report we produced and a clear read on what your dormant book is worth.
The score is a real signal — we will tell you not to pursue a judgment when the facts say so. Each card below opens the full report.

Our dormant judgment book is bigger than our active docket. Every quarter we either write the file off or hire another paralegal to chase it. A per-matter recovery score with cited assets is the third option we've been looking for.
Skip-trace databases give us thirty fields per debtor and zero of them tell us whether the writ will recover money. Source URLs and a recovery score are what survive a Rule 11 challenge — and tell us where the dollars actually are.
The bankruptcy stay catches us once a year on a stale matter. A 24-hour federal-bankruptcy check on every judgment we touch is the kind of hygiene we should have had ten years ago.
More than 70% of money judgments go unsatisfied because nobody ever finds the assets. We're working with a small group of creditor's-rights firms to fix that — file by file, by hand. Send us your dormant book and we'll be in touch within one business day.
