California Judgment
Enforcement Attorney
Focused exclusively on post-judgment enforcement. Based in San Diego.
Active statewide — from San Diego to Arcata.
OBTAINING A JUDGMENT IS A LICENSE TO COLLECT
Obtaining a judgment is a license to collect — not the end game. Bryan Grundon has been working collection and enforcement matters since the summer after his first year of law school. His practice has evolved considerably since then — from volume creditor work to the focused, technical post-judgment enforcement practice the firm operates today. When litigation counsel needs a specialist to step in after the verdict, or when an out-of-state firm needs California enforcement counsel, this practice exists for that purpose.
WHAT WE DO
The Right Remedy, in the Right Sequence
California’s Enforcement of Judgments Law gives judgment creditors significant reach. The question is rarely whether a remedy exists — it’s what to use, how to use it, when to use it, and how to sequence it to disrupt the status quo.
Collecting a judgment depends on making it difficult for the debtor to continue business as usual without addressing what they owe. That means using California’s legal enforcement tools to apply sustained, targeted pressure — on their accounts, their income, their receivables, their property — until resolution becomes the path of least resistance.

ABOUT BRYAN
Bryan Grundon — California Judgment Enforcement Counsel
Bryan started working collection matters the summer after his first year of law school. His practice has evolved considerably since then — from volume creditor work to the focused, technical post-judgment enforcement practice the firm operates today. That trajectory matters: the procedural depth comes from experience, not a CLE.
He founded The Grundon Law Firm in 2008 and has been admitted to the California State Bar since 2005.
A native San Diegan, Bryan earned his undergraduate degree from Cal Poly Humboldt. He knows the state.

TECHNICAL ENFORCEMENT GUIDES
We Publish What Most Enforcement Attorneys Keep to Themselves
Bryan has spent decades coaching and teaching — most visibly as offensive coordinator of the Rancho Bernardo High School football program for twelve years. That instinct carries directly into how he approaches the practice. The Technical Enforcement Guides on this site exist for the same reason: to help litigation counsel understand the how and why of post-judgment remedies, not just that they exist.
If you want to understand the mechanics before referring a matter — or handle enforcement yourself and need a reliable procedural resource — the guides are written for that purpose. Topics include CCP § 684.115 service requirements, EJ-130 writ execution, post-judgment cost recovery under MC-012, and compelling garnishee compliance under CCP §§ 701.020 and 708.170.
If you read the guides and decide you’d rather have enforcement handled by someone who does this every day, the referral form is one click away.
Refer a Judgment Matter
If you have a client holding an unpaid California judgment and need enforcement counsel, submit the matter for review. We’ll assess the enforcement posture and follow up with a direct conversation about realistic next steps.
No fee for the initial review. We work on hourly and hybrid fee structures for most matters. For judgments of $100,000 or more, contingency representation may be available depending on the facts of the matter.
