Florida Post-Judgment Enforcement
When the creditor is correct, obtaining the Judgment is a relatively easy process. However, the creditor holds a piece paper and wants it to turn green. Collecting on the Judgment is usually the challenging aspect.
In post-judgment recovery, the Firm tries to be aggressive with ex-parte relief when the Court permits. Telegraphing punches may give a debtor the heads up to move his/her/its assets.
The following areas are necessary to ensure you have a valid and enforceable Judgment:
- Perfecting Interest – Recording against Personal and Real Property
- Domestication – Ensuring a Foreign State or Country Judgment is afforded full recognition in Florida.
The Firm may utilize the following avenues of relief to recover your money are as follows:
- Garnishment of Bank Accounts – Freeze of Bank Accounts of Debtor to try to payoff Judgment.
- Garnishment of Wages – Court Order Employer to collect percentage of salary until Judgment is paid in full
- Levy of Assets – Directive to take all tangible assets, including real estate and sale at Sheriff Auction to try to payoff Judgment.
- Partition of Property – Obtaining a Court Order to allow a Judicial Sale of a Debtor’s interest in investment property.
If these methodologies can’t be employed immediately, then an Asset Deposition, requiring the Debtor to appear to disclose all assets,
may give rise to garnishments and levies. Furthermore, it may allow the creditor to discover fraudulent transfer of assets to avoid to the creditor.
Just because you have a Judgment does not mean you will get paid. The Law office of Roy L. Weinfeld will do its utmost to provide excellent services.
