About Evanns Collection Law Firm

Evanns Collection Law Firm is a Los Angeles-based practice focused exclusively on judgment enforcement and debt collection, founded by attorney Richard O. Evanns and practicing since 2011. Over more than a decade, the firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars in judgments for clients across Southern California jurisdictions. Its practice areas include judgment enforcement and collection, post-judgment asset location and recovery, pre-judgment collections and demand letters, spousal support enforcement, fraudulent transfer lawsuits, sister state judgment domestication, and other creditor's rights matters, with a stated minimum judgment amount of $100,000. What distinguishes the firm is its investigative approach: it uses tools typically available only to financial institutions and law enforcement to locate debtor assets, and it emphasizes speed and surprise in enforcement actions to prevent debtors from transferring assets before collection can occur. The firm operates on a contingency basis, reflecting a core philosophy that Evanns describes directly: "we should not get paid until you have gotten paid." This no-upfront-cost model is rooted in his own background. Before becoming an attorney, Evanns owned a collection company, and that experience shaped his understanding of what clients go through after already losing money to a debtor. As he explains, "I was a small business owner prior to being an attorney, and understand that when you have already been stiffed out of money...you should not have pay yet another law firm" just to enforce a judgment that has already been won in court. That perspective continues to inform the firm's approach to every case it takes on, prioritizing client recovery over upfront legal fees.

Richard O. Evanns founded his Los Angeles law firm in 2011 with a professional background that set it apart from typical collection practices: before attending law school and becoming an attorney, he owned and operated a collection company himself. That firsthand experience running a business dependent on recovering money owed gave him a direct understanding of what it feels like to be, in his words, "stiffed out of money." It also shaped the philosophy he built his law practice around once he moved from the collection industry into legal practice. Rather than charging clients upfront for judgment enforcement services, Evanns structured his firm around a contingency model, reasoning that a client who has already won a judgment and already lost money to a non-paying debtor should not have to pay another law firm out of pocket to finally collect what they are owed. As he puts it, "we should not get paid until you have gotten paid." Since founding the firm, Evanns has built out a practice centered on aggressive, well-resourced judgment enforcement, drawing on investigative techniques more commonly available to banks and law enforcement to track down debtor assets before they can be hidden or transferred. Over the years, that approach has helped the firm recover tens of millions of dollars in judgments for clients throughout Southern California, turning his own small-business frustrations into the founding principle of his legal career.
