I was awarded a civil judgement against a crooked contractor who abandoned a job I had paid him for. This contractor was also prosecuted by the county I live in, for racketeering and theft by conversion. The District Att'y said he believes the contractor has assetts hidden out of state but that the crook is just really good at hiding them.
I know PI's are not cheap, but with the amount owed to me, I wonder if a PI could find something I couldn't or that the DA couldn't find.

Try the local TV station or local press first. They love "ripped-off" stories, and many of them have their own "Call Steve (or Frieda or whoever) for help." And they're free, plus bad press for the guy is good vengeance for you.
I have a friend who resorted to one, and she got her money back. TV cameras can produce some serious heat.
Good luck.

When I was working, I hired PI's on some rare occassions. They have far less resources than the police. I am not optimistic.
Maybe you should consider a forensic accountant. Sometimes former FBI agents set up shop after they retire.

Theres a very affordable private investigator service at www.searchandexpose.com
If you email them, I know they can do customized services, and they'll definitely be able to find the assets.
