执法与催收

After the trial, when you win your case, the court issues a judgment — an enforceable order that entitles you to collect the amount owed. Once the judgment is granted, the creditor-to-debtor collection process begins.

However, collecting payment isn’t always easy. If the debtor fails to comply with the court order, the creditor can request that the debtor appear in court to explain the reason for non-payment and disclose financial details such as income, assets, and liabilities. This process determines whether the debtor can or will satisfy the court order.

If you are having difficulty getting the debtor to comply with the judgment, call us. Our debt collection lawyer can help you take the necessary legal steps to enforce the judgment and recover the money owed to you.

At Juzkiw Law Firm, we understand that the process of enforcement and collections can be stressful and time-consuming. Our experienced lawyer for collections will guide you through every stage of the process, including:

  • Filing for a writ of seizure and sale of assets

  • Garnishing wages or bank accounts

  • Conducting a debtor examination to locate hidden assets

  • Working with the sheriff’s office for property enforcement
