Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect money or assets when a court has entered a judgment in your favor.
The steps can include locating debtor assets, pursuing remedies such as wage garnishment or bank levies, and monitoring payments until the judgment is satisfied.
A judgment is a court ruling that a debtor must pay a sum or deliver property. Enforcement actions depend on the debtor’s financial situation, location, and available assets.
Key steps include reviewing the judgment, locating assets, requesting writs or levies, and tracking payments as they come in.
This glossary defines common terms used in judgment enforcement to help you understand the process.
Garnishment is a legal process that allows a portion of a debtor’s wages or funds in a bank account to be withheld to satisfy a judgment, under applicable law.
A writ of execution is a court order that authorizes the seizure of assets to satisfy a judgment.
Asset discovery is the process of locating the debtor’s assets that can be used to satisfy the judgment.
A lien places a claim on property, often delaying its sale or transfer until the judgment is paid.
When a judgment is unpaid, several options exist. We help you assess the pros and cons of negotiations, post‑judgment remedies, and enforcement actions to fit your goals and timeline.
In some situations, a focused remedy such as targeted wage garnishment or bank levy can secure partial recovery quickly while keeping costs manageable.
