I don't know the laws for Florida but I've sued someone in small claims court in Texas and it was pretty much pointless. I won and got a judgement, filed an abstract of judgement with the county, filed a writ of garnishment... it was all for nothing. Texas protects debtors, wage garnishment is illegal, you can't put a lien on a primary residence (only a secondary). It's a pain in the ass to try to track down property to collect against or to get a sheriff to collect on.
