ARE YOU HOLDING YOUR REAL ESTATE THE RIGHT WAY? GARRETT SUTTON Of course not. The attorney wants no part of this colossal hassle. So maybe they settle for any insurance monies. And if there is no insurance money to go after, maybe they don’t even bring the case in the first place. Sure, they can win the first battle easily. But if you can’t win the second battle of collecting why even bother? There are too many other, more profitable cases to pursue. The attorney’s attitude changes a bit if we are in a weak LLC state like Georgia, California, New York and others. In certain weak states the courts allow judicial foreclosure. Knowing this, there is a way for the Wyoming charging order to apply. We have the weak state LLC owned by the Wyoming LLC. In this way the attacking judgment creditor must go to Wyoming and hire an attorney to go to court and get a charging order. The distance and trouble of fighting the case in Wyoming only to get a charging order allowing for distributions (which may never come) may discourage a contingency fee attorney.
