What judgment coordination is

A hearing is not a judgment. Someone has to confirm the clerk entered it. Coordination is that clerk-side follow-through — not arguing the case.

Courthouse after an eviction hearing — judgment entry is a separate clerk step
Courthouse after an eviction hearing — judgment entry is a separate clerk step
Judgment coordination is the operational follow-through after a hearing or default: confirm the possession or money judgment was entered, get the signed order, and open the next step (writ or collections). It is not courtroom advocacy.

Key facts

  • Lifecycle stage: Court / enforcement.
  • EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
  • Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
  • Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.

What this service is

Files stall in the gap between “we went to court” and “the clerk entered the judgment.” Without the entered order, the writ desk will not move. Coordination is checking the docket and collecting the paper.

Where a proposed order must be prepared by counsel, that writing is coordinated with a licensed attorney. EvictIQ is not a law firm. No date guarantees. Courts set their own entry times.

When this step is needed

You need judgment coordination after a hearing or default when someone said you won but the writ desk still has nothing to read.

You also need it when names or money awards look wrong on the entered order — that defect travels into the writ.

How the process usually works

  1. Check the docket for entry, not just the courtroom result.
  2. Obtain the signed, entered order.
  3. If a proposed order must come from counsel, coordinate a licensed attorney.
  4. Open the writ path from the possession order you actually have.
  5. Open collections from the money award you actually have.

Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.

What this step usually covers

  • Docket checked for entry, not just the hearing result
  • Copies of the entered order obtained
  • Writ or collections path opened from the actual order
  • Defects (wrong names, missing money award) flagged

These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.

What you must verify locally

  • How that clerk enters possession versus money judgments
  • Waiting periods before a writ may be issued
  • Whether a proposed order must come from counsel

We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.

What this does not include

  • Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
  • A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
  • Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
  • A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts
State law controls. Eviction law is state law, and notice periods, forms, courts and timelines differ in every state — sometimes county to county within a state. This page explains how the process generally works. It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for your state's actual rules.
Not a law firm. EvictIQ is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Where court appearance, a pleading, or representation is required, work is coordinated with licensed attorneys or authorized professionals in the jurisdiction of the property.

Common questions

The judge said we won. Why do we need this?

Spoken outcomes are not always entered. The writ office reads the entered judgment.

Will you draft the order?

If the court requires an attorney-prepared order, that is counsel’s work. We coordinate the operational file around it.

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.
