The Mechanics of Enforcing a Judgment
“Winning your lawsuit is not the end of the case when it comes to getting the money that you are owed. Winning is just half the battle, as usually the hard part is recovering that money after the judgment has been made. Here at Parker & Ellis Law Group, we understand how to enforce your judgment – whether through garnishment, lien filing, or otherwise – so that you can actually obtain the money that you are rightfully owed. Whether you are an individual or a business entity, our skilled professionals are here to help you with all of your post-judgment enforcement needs so that you are able to get the results that you desire.”
Our Unrivaled Judgment Enforcement Services
“Judgment enforcement often takes many different forms. It requires tenacity, experience and strategy. Parker & Ellis Law Group utilizes numerous enforcement strategies which are designed to address the specific facts of each case. Wage garnishment, bank levies, property liens, and personal property liens are some of the remedies we seek, but to name a few. We also conduct credit reporting investigations which can adversely affect a debtor’s credit report with the three major credit reporting bureaus: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. By bundling these various strategies, we ensure that an aggressive approach is adopted that will maximize our client’s opportunity for recovery.”
Wage Garnishments: Take It From Their Paycheck
Wage garnishment is one of the most effective ways of collecting a judgment. We obtain a court order which gives our lawyers permission to work with an employer to garnish a portion of a debtor’s earnings until the judgment is paid off. It creates a stream of payments, ensuring that creditors can start recovering money immediately. Moreover, we take care of all of the court filings, sending out notices to the employer, and the compliance so that for our clients this process is transparent.
Bank Levies: Tap Into Their Cash
Should there be substantial funds in their bank account, Parker & Ellis Law Group can file for a bank levy. This involves implementing an order with the court to freeze and take money from the debtor’s bank account directly at their financial institution. Our firm handles all coordination with the financial institution and paperwork through the court system. Bank levies are one of the most effective tools when time is of the essence. Our experience allows us to move quickly to secure available dollars before funds are paid out or removed from an account.
Property Liens: Hold Onto The Asset
“A lien grants a creditor a legal claim in a debtor’s real estate (home, investment property, etc.) – such that the property cannot be sold, refinanced, or transferred without payment of the judgment. Parker & Ellis Law Group files, records and maintains liens against real property with county recorders and tracks real estate transactions to provide a long-term collection enforcement tool for our clients. This is beneficial in cases involving large claims and when the debtor does not have a lot of cash assets.”
Personal Property Liens: Securing Assets That Aren’t Real Property
Beyond real property, personal property such as motor vehicles, equipment, and business assets can be subject to a lien for the amount of the judgment. We are able to file a personal property lien on those items so that they cannot be sold or transferred without payment of your judgment. Our attorneys are experienced in asset investigations to find appropriate property against which liens can be placed and also in seeking the right remedy for such personal property. No asset should go ignored in the pursuit of enforcement of a judgment.
Advance Credit Reporting for Maximum Effectiveness
“Parker & Ellis Law Group is also unique in that we can report all unpaid judgments to the three main credit bureaus: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. The effect of a reported judgment on a debtor’s credit report can be dramatic, and can in most cases prevent the debtor from getting a loan, credit card or sometimes even an apartment. The pressure that is placed on debtors by this added credit burden usually results in a very rapid payment of their obligation. We thoroughly investigate and accurately report all information in accordance with federal law giving our clients the upper hand in tough collections.”
Tailored Approaches To Complex Situations
Every judgment enforcement matter is distinct. From debtors that try to hide assets and default on collections to those who could pay but do not pay in full, our attorneys will conduct asset investigations, subpoena financial records, and explore available discovery resources to identify hidden assets. If and when necessary, we work closely with private investigators and employ creative solutions – including installment payment agreements or negotiated settlements – when it benefits our clients. Our flexible approach ensures that every case gets the individualized attention and strategy it deserves.
