Most towns have a clerk of courts where the final judgment can be obtained. If you are unable to retrieve the documents from the clerk of courts directly you may have to hire a document retrieval company.

Have you tried this public court records website?

If it is already available to the public, then you could request it from there.

There’s an article about accessing public court records online:—Are-Court-Records-Freely-Available-Online?&id=1595813

I’m a court reporter, and if I’m reading your question right you’re not talking about official court transcripts. Official court transcripts are the transcripts of proceedings that are held in open court such as pretrial hearings, a trial or a sentencing. It sounds to me like you’re talking about police reports and witness interviews during the investigation. These things are not public record. You may be able to go to the police station that handled the investigation and request a copy of the police report. I don’t know that they’d give it to you. I know those things are not in a court file. The judge doesn’t even get copies of the police report in felony cases. Transcripts of 911 calls and witness interviews are discovery matters that take place between the attorneys involved and unless they are admitted as evidence during a trial would remain in the possession of the attorney.

If you are talking about official court transcripts of courtroom proceedings, those are public record. Anything that happens in a courtroom (with a few exceptions) is a matter of public record. You would obtain those kinds of transcripts by contacting the court reporter who works in the courtroom and ordering the transcripts from him or her. They can be expensive, though.

As far as I know, if payment arrangements have been made, it won’t show on the record. If you default on the payments, it will. However, if you have a judgement, it stays for about 20 years.
