Winning a lawsuit and securing a judgment in your favor is a significant victory, but it’s only the first step in recovering what you are owed. The real challenge often lies in enforcing the judgment and ensuring the debtor fulfills their legal obligation to pay. At Faloni Law Group, LLC, we provide comprehensive legal services for judgment enforcement in Roseland, NJ, and the surrounding communities. Our experienced legal team is committed to helping businesses, individuals, and financial institutions collect the debts awarded by the court, ensuring justice is fully served.
What is Judgment Enforcement?
Judgment enforcement refers to the legal actions taken to ensure a court-ordered judgment is carried out. After a court issues a judgment in favor of a creditor or plaintiff, the debtor is legally obligated to pay the awarded amount. However, many debtors either refuse or are unable to pay, requiring additional legal efforts to enforce the judgment.
Judgment enforcement can involve a variety of strategies, such as garnishing wages, placing liens on property, or seizing assets. Each case is unique, and the right approach will depend on the debtor’s financial situation and the specifics of the judgment. At Faloni Law Group, LLC, we tailor our enforcement strategies to each client’s needs, ensuring you can recover the money or assets awarded to you as efficiently as possible.
Securing a court judgment is an important legal win, but it does not guarantee payment. Many debtors delay or avoid payment entirely, hoping that creditors will not take further action. This can be frustrating for those who have already invested time and resources into legal proceedings. Judgment enforcement is essential for ensuring:
At Faloni Law Group, LLC, we handle a wide variety of judgment enforcement cases, assisting businesses, lenders, and individuals in recovering the debts awarded to them by the court. Some of the most common types of judgments we enforce include:
Commercial Debt Judgments. When a business wins a judgment against another company or individual for unpaid debts, it’s critical to recover the full amount awarded to protect the business’s financial health. We assist businesses of all sizes with enforcing commercial debt judgments, whether the case involves unpaid invoices, breached contracts, or loans.
Personal Debt Judgments. For individuals who win personal debt judgments—whether due to a lawsuit over a personal loan, property dispute, or other financial matter—judgment enforcement is often necessary to recover the money they are owed. Our legal team helps individuals enforce these judgments and recover funds quickly and effectively.
Real Estate Judgments. In cases involving real estate disputes, such as unpaid rent, property damage, or foreclosure-related matters, enforcing a judgment may involve placing liens on property or pursuing other legal remedies to collect what is owed. We work with landlords, property managers, and real estate investors to enforce real estate-related judgments and recover debts tied to property issues.
Business Disputes. Business disputes often result in judgments related to contract breaches, partnership disagreements, or financial transactions. Whether your business has won a judgment for unpaid services, goods, or investments, we help you enforce the judgment and ensure your business recovers the financial compensation it deserves.
Enforcing a judgment can be far more complicated than obtaining the initial court decision. Debtors may attempt to hide assets, dispute the judgment, or simply refuse to pay. These challenges can delay the recovery process, but with the right legal strategy, judgment enforcement can be successful. Some of the most common challenges we help clients overcome include:
Debtor Evasion. Many debtors attempt to evade payment by ignoring court orders, moving assets, or hiding funds in accounts that are difficult to trace. This can make enforcement more challenging, especially if the debtor is deliberately trying to avoid their legal responsibilities. Our attorneys are experienced in identifying and locating hidden assets and using legal tools to compel payment.
Financial Hardship Claims. In some cases, debtors claim financial hardship as a reason for not paying a judgment. While genuine financial difficulties may require a more flexible approach, creditors still have legal rights to pursue collection. We work to assess the validity of these claims and explore all available options for recovering the judgment.
Bankruptcy Filings. When a debtor files for bankruptcy, it can complicate the enforcement of a judgment. Depending on the type of bankruptcy filed, the debt may be discharged or reduced, limiting the creditor’s ability to collect the full amount. Our attorneys assist creditors in navigating bankruptcy cases and finding ways to protect their interests during the bankruptcy process.
Multi-Jurisdictional Enforcement. If a judgment was issued in one state but the debtor lives or holds assets in another, enforcing the judgment can be more complex. We handle multi-jurisdictional enforcement cases, ensuring judgments are recognized and enforced across state lines.
At Faloni Law Group, LLC, we utilize a range of legal tools to enforce judgments and recover debts. These tools are tailored to the specific circumstances of each case and the debtor’s financial situation. While every case is different, some common enforcement methods include:
Wage Garnishment. In cases where the debtor is employed, wage garnishment allows creditors to collect a portion of the debtor’s income directly from their paycheck. This can be an effective way to recover the debt over time, particularly if the debtor has a steady job.
Property Liens. A lien can be placed on a debtor’s property, such as real estate or vehicles, to secure the debt. If the property is sold, the creditor is entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale to satisfy the judgment. Property liens are often used in cases where the debtor owns valuable assets but refuses to pay.
Bank Levies. A bank levy allows creditors to seize funds from the debtor’s bank account to satisfy the judgment. This method can be particularly effective if the debtor has significant savings or other financial resources.
Asset Seizure. In some cases, creditors may pursue asset seizure, where personal property or other valuable assets are seized to satisfy the debt. This may include vehicles, equipment, or other valuable possessions that can be sold to recover the debt.
