A lien is a claim against property that secures payment of a debt; a judgment is a court order determining the debt owed. Liens attach to assets to secure payment, while judgments authorize collection actions like garnishment or asset seizure.
Timeframes vary by case complexity, court calendars, and enforcement actions. Working with a local attorney helps set realistic expectations and optimize timelines.
In some circumstances you may challenge a garnishment or negotiate a release. A lawyer can help apply for exemptions, temporary relief, or modify the order.
