Here is the story. I am a lawyer at a mid sized firm. The widow of a former client was ripped off by her churches youth pastor, so she came to us for help.
I got a judgment on the pastor for the money, but the church fired him and he took off out of state before I could collect (We have a three week wait to start collecting a judgment in this state). I don't know where he is, but there is a rumor that he went out to cali to pastor a church out there.
Most of our clients are rich or are businesses. I can't do for her what I would do for them, which is hire a PI, because she can't afford it and only a few grand is at stake.
I did a credit check on him and then had my sec call United Methodist churches around where he used to live in cali, with no luck.
I also have sent a blank letter to his old address with a request to the post office to not forward but rather to return it with the new address. I also sent some free (no cost) subpoenas to the various bishops and oversight groups of his church national body.
What the heck else can I do cheaply to find this guy so I can beg a local attorney in that state to sue on my judgment for cheap/free to get some justice for the widow?
