 Must Have for Everyone in the Legal, Law and Judgment Enforcement Professions | | Review Date: September 17, 2006 | | Reviewer: M. Miles, Atlanta, GA USA | I am very judicious when it comes to rating a product five stars, however, "FI-FA'S, LEVYS AND THE COLLECTION OF JUDGMENTS IN GEORGIA" is well-deserving of the honor. While this is certainly a niche book, it will be regarded as a "jewel of knowledge" by those who read it.
This book is a wise investment for everyone in law enforcement, the legal profession, or the business of enforcement of judgments. Though the book is based on Georgia statutes and procedures it contains enough general information to make it a valuable resource to anyone outside the Peach State.
The author knows his subject. A former deputy with 32 years in law enforcement, Mr. Tumlin brings all of his experience to the pages of this book. It is written in a clear, concise and easy to understand format. There is reference to the Georgia "Code" but only to illustrate how or why a procedure is performed a certain way.
Topics include:
Obtaining a judgment in Magistrate Court
Writ of Fieri Facias
Duties of the Sheriff
Executing a Levy
Constitutional Protections
Safety Practices
Garnishments
Transfer of the Judgment
Sheriff's Sale
Tools for the Collection of Judgments
Keeping the Judgment Alive
Useful websites, Forms, and Glossary
I am in the judgment enforcement business and have found the information in this book critical to the success of my business. It was wonderful to find a book that puts the tools and procedures of Fi-Fa's, liens and levys in a clear light and illustrates the important role that deputies play in their execution. Invest in your knowledge and read this book. |
Great Book for | | Review Date: September 18, 2006 | | Reviewer: maria melissovas, Atlanta, GA | This is an awesome book. Anyone who works in the Criminal Justice system will find a wealth of knowledge here. This is a very helpful and to the point reference tool. In today's internet world the links will be extremely helpful and useful for the end user.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a helpful tool for our Criminal Justice system. This was written by someone who has spent many years themself in the field. |
Critical information for the collecting of judgments | | Review Date: September 16, 2006 | | Reviewer: RET407, Clermont, GA USA | | This book is a serious effort to provide critical information to the layperson in the collection of judgments. It is not loaded with legalese and provides easy to understand reference information. Anyone interested in the collection of judgments and delinquent debts should have a copy of this book in their arsenal. |
Plaintiff wails, rants, raves | | Review Date: November 1, 2006 | | Reviewer: Vicki L. Sims, Duluth, GA | Our Gwinnett County Courthouse library didn't have this book, or anything like it, so I ordered it. I'm the civilian, in this mess on a one-time basis, learning lessons that I should have learned by now, and this is now another textbook to keep forever.
May you never have the courtroom drama or trauma that leads to your needing to know what's in this manual, but once you need this information you probably also need at least two attorneys and the specialized services provided by an expert like Rickey Tumlin. I'm a CPA, in public accounting for over a quarter of a century, and I never needed to know any of this until it became a personal matter. The Justice System, including courtrooms, attorneys, judgments, and law enforcement, makes the Income Tax Code appear reasonable by comparison.
I'm sure that if your business dealings require this information, and mine never have, this book is invaluable. I was searching for this information online at the same time that the book was published, and this was THE relevant source. I've had further questions for Mr. Tumlin, directed to him via his web site, and he's been very helpful.
I do wish that he'd deal more with The Runner, The Gingerbread Boy, the debtor who moves to another county, another job, another bankruptcy filing, the pathological liar who claims a right to privacy while dodging creditors, but that's too massive a scope for two or three books, I imagine.

A must read for those in law enforcement | | Review Date: September 7, 2007 | | Reviewer: M. Hand, Las Vegas, NV | | An absolutely "must read" volume for those in law enforcement or the legal profession. Mr. Tumlin brings a breadth of experience and knowledge to a complex and difficult subject. It is written in an easy-to-read style that walks the reader through each topic. For those beginning a journey into the world of judgement collection, this book will help avoid many common mistakes and misunderstandings. Highly recommended! |
