I purchased several gold coins at auction and paid by personel check. Seller has only provided one out of eight coins and I'm still owed about $8000 and other fees. Do I hire a lawyer in Pima Co or Washington state? I need to place a lien or attach seller's assets based on judgement.
answered on Mar 4, 2019
It will depend on where the defendant is or has assets.
Most likely you need an attorney in that jurisdiction.
From the facts you mentioned it looks like you should look for an attorney in WA.
If you got a judgement in AZ, possibly you can domesticate it in WA and enforce it.
Best luck
