- Judgment Enforcement
Obtaining a judgment does not always end the legal process. Often, judgment debtors are unable or unwilling to pay towards satisfaction of a court ordered judgment and to collect any money at all may require additional and technical litigation. Our firm practices exclusively in the collection of judgments and our attorneys have resolved hundreds of judgments to recovery on behalf of our bank and business clients.
Our firm’s unique model of experience blended with precision speaks for itself. Couple our legal successes alongside testimonials from actual clients and it is easy to conclude that all of our team at Angell Molony take pride in the reputation we have built and and continue to earn through Collection of Judgments.
Our firm has produced over $12,000,000 in cash settlements for our respective clients in the span of a few years. All of those settlements have been reached on behalf of our bank and business clients in the one area of judgment enforcement.
We are the only law firm in the state of South Carolina that practices solely in the enforcement of judgments and we are very proud that Judgment Recovery and Angell Molony have become synonymous in the legal community in and around South Carolina.
Our success and unique ability to produce settlements have garnered the title of “go-to judgment recovery lawyers” for our clients and among many of our fellow attorneys and legal colleagues.
The enforcement of judgments often requires complex legal maneuvers such as:
Complimentary Client Consult
Complimentary phone/conference call to discuss the judgment. Client and Attorney discuss advantages and disadvantages to pursuit of particular judgment and schedule a follow up for final case review.
Preliminary Investigations, Asset Search, Prior Filings
Review particulars of court ordered documents to confirm relevant details. Commence review of the judgment debtor in order to determine relevant factors including court venue. Process assessment of the case and make recommendation to prospective client based on all compiled data and available facts.
Execute retainer agreement and commence representation
Once the parties have agreed through execution of retainer agreement, the team at Angell Molony compiles all relevant data regarding the judgment and debtor and formally commences representation in the matter for the sole purpose of collecting assets with which to apply towards satisfaction of the judgment.
*Subject to Bankruptcy Exemption Laws for each State
Simply put, collecting money that is owed to our clients through a previously entered court-ordered decree. The Collection of a judgment can present a myriad of technical and legal challenges, but there are laws in South Carolina and elsewhere that provide a mechanism to do just that.
It is always best when navigating through legal waters to employ a licensed attorney who is knowledgeable and proficient in his or her practice area. We practice exclusively in the enforcement/collection of judgments and no other area of litigation. This niche sets our law firm apart from all others in the state and nationwide.
The short answer is yes, it can be very difficult to get the debtor to pay their judgment. Our firm compels payment from the debtor through the means of the laws afforded in each state to collect.
Start with gathering the facts. It is critical to determine if the debtor has viable assets before entering into the collection of the judgment. We offer asset searches before pursuing a given debtor. If the debtor has been discharged in bankruptcy or otherwise possesses no assets in which to apply towards satisfaction of the judgment, you may not want to commence enforcement of the judgment.
