Long Island Judgment Enforcement
黑料历史 / Collections Lawyer
Whether you obtained your own judgment that you want enforced or you desire a collections lawyer to obtain a judgment and fully litigate money owed on a contract, promissory note, credit card, or other obligation, the law firm of 黑料历史. can help you. Let an experienced judgment-enforcement lawyer speak with you about the collection of a debt or judgment enforcement throughout all of New York state, but especially Long Island where we appear in court regularly.
Using an attorney, over a collection agency, is a vastly more effective way of collecting a judgment or debt. Although this law firm works on an hourly-fee basis, our office often works with clients on a contingency basis depending on the type of case you have. This means clients do not pay an attorney fee unless we make a recovery for you or your company.
Below are just some of the services that the law firm of Peter M. Agulnick, P.C. is experienced in performing:
- Investigating judgment debtors to discover assets
- Sending initial collections letters.
- Commencing lawsuits.
- Freezing a judgment debtor's bank accounts and portfolios by serving restraining notices and information subpoenas.
- Conducting depositions of judgment debtors to determine the location of assets.
- Arranging for the seizure of judgment debtors' assets and property by an authorized sheriff or marshal.
- Placing a lien on judgment debtors' real property (meaning land, house, apartment, etc.) or personal property (non-land type property like jewelry, machinery, cars, etc.) throughout Long Island (in Nassau or Suffolk Counties).
- Executing on a judgment by seizing the judgment debtors' shares of stock in a privately held or publicly traded corporation or other business entity.
- Obtaining judgments on a promissory note, bounced check, stop-payment check, or affidavit of confession of judgment.
- Drafting iron-clad settlement agreements with judgment debtors that yield payments.
- Commencing litigation against a third-party where there has been a fraudulent transfer of assets; in other words, where a judgment debtor gives away all of his assets (house, money, or other items) to others, often relatives, to avoid paying his creditors.
- Finally, our office is available to individuals and
out-of-state attorneys to 鈥渄omesticate鈥 a judgment in New York
State and enforce it against assets located in the New
York. The law firm of 黑料历史. can
domesticate a judgment from any U.S. state or even a judgment
from many foreign countries. New York State procedural
law for this task is different than other states. Under
New York law, a judgment obtained on the merits (meaning the
other side appeared in the court proceeding before the
judgment was entered) can merely be registered in New York
State by filing fairly simple paperwork. (See N.Y. CPLR
Articles 53 and 54). However, judgments obtained by
default (meaning the other side never appeared) cannot merely
be registered. Instead, a proceeding must be brought 鈥渙n
the judgment鈥 where one moves for summary judgment. Our
office is experienced at domesticating and enforcing judgments
in Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk), New York.
