Class Counsel appointments, $10.725M in settlements, and progress on JudgmentTrade.com

Dear Clients, Colleagues, and Friends:

We are pleased to share recent achievements at Levin-Epstein & Associates: our appointment as Class Counsel in significant class actions resulting in $10.725 million in negotiated settlements, and continued progress on JudgmentTrade.com, the AI-driven judgment marketplace our firm founded.

Artificial intelligence is the topic dominating conversations across industries, and we are witnessing its potential firsthand in our legal practice and the development of JudgmentTrade. We believe AI will make legal work more efficient over time, reducing the time and cost required to handle matters and enabling firms to serve more clients. By reducing the cost of evaluating and pursuing claims, AI may make it economically feasible to take on cases that previously went unpursued because the expense and litigation risk outweighed the potential recovery.

Within JudgmentTrade, AI has transformative potential. We are developing automated tools to sift through state court databases—each with its own systems and formats—to identify unsatisfied money judgments. We can then cross-reference information from those records with publicly available property databases to identify judgment debtors with potential assets, creating new opportunities for enforcement and a more informed marketplace for buying and selling judgments.

A marketplace for an untapped asset class

Unsatisfied court judgments represent substantial sums in court-ordered debt that go uncollected each year. JudgmentTrade.com will provide a transparent, data-driven marketplace where judgment holders can list and sell their judgments, and investors can identify, evaluate, and acquire them.

The platform uses data analytics to identify unsatisfied judgments across federal jurisdictions and applies AI to search public property records for debtors with recoverable assets, enabling analysis and modeling that once took weeks.
