Debt Collections in California

Does anyone have a solid referral for debt collection in California?  My investments are in Orange and Los Angeles (LA) counties.  

How do people typically collect on debt owed after eviction and other lawsuits?  

What % of debt collected and/or other fees are charged?  

I have been using my eviction attorney to follow-up on debt collection for tenants that are evicted.  The attorney generally charges 40-60% of debt collected.  Is there a better way?

I understand fully that the best medicine here is to not evict, but anyone that hasn't experienced at least one eviction hasn't been in the business long enough.  Thanks for your advice.
