Winning your case in court is only half the battle. It’s a fact that some people hide their assets to avoid paying debts and judgments. This truly unique book will show you how to find and reach that hidden money.

Author David J. Cook is a veteran collections attorney who has been chasing down debtors for over 39 years. This colorfully written book will teach you the basics of civil remedies, real estate, finance, and sleuthing. The author outlines for you the power of the bluff and the outer parameters of threat, when a threat becomes extortion, and when you need to walk away from a situation.

This book is about collecting debts, finding assets, enforcing judgments against difficult people, or, should you be so inclined, beating out your creditors.

An exhaustive investor handbook presenting the first rigorous framework to value gold and understand gold attributes in an asset allocation. It also offers a unique perspective by taking a non-US centric view on gold investing. Contrary to popular beliefs, the US government is prone to default. Indeed, it has already defaulted in the past century (1934, 1971), incurring large losses on the back of non-residents. It is very likely it will continue to do so, and for non-US residents, holding gold is a low-cost insurance to holding US Treasuries.

Anyone dealing with any aspect of debt advice needs to have an up-to-date copy of this Handbook on their desk.
