Winning a judgment is only the first step; enforcing it can be equally challenging. Our judgment enforcement team helps clients collect what they’re legally owed, using tools such as asset discovery, wage garnishments, liens, and property seizures. We work diligently to locate and recover assets, turning court victories into real results for our clients.
Issuing information subpoenas to individuals and entities that may have information regarding the debtor’s assets
Serving restraining notices on individuals and entities (such as banks) that have assets belonging to the debtor
Serving an income execution on the debtor’s employer
Deposing the debtor and other individuals and entities that have information regarding the debtor’s assets
Seeking enforcement of court judgments in various courts across the globe by uncovering assets either in the name of the debtor or against other parties who hold those assets that the debtor is attempting to camouflage
Where necessary, we also engage in post-judgment proceedings to uncover the debtor’s assets and/or information pertaining to such assets. We have developed strong working relationships with investigators whose experience is often critical to successful enforcement when debtors hide their assets.
Our firm has successfully enforced multiple judgments, helping clients recover assets and resolve complex legal battles. From uncovering hidden assets to cross-border enforcement, we are committed to securing compliance with court judgments.
Case Six
Our firm secured a nearly $1 million default judgment in New York’s Supreme Court under CPLR § 3215. The defendant’s repeated delays—missed conferences and cycling through multiple attorneys—were firmly rejected by the Court. This outcome reflects our unwavering dedication to achieving results against even the most obstructive tactics.
Case Five
The firm obtained vacatur of a default in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan based on the imperfection of service of process where the Plaintiff served state court summons rather than federal court summons following removal from state court to federal court.
Case Four
The firm obtained dismissal of two fraudulent conveyance actions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, which were filed in connection with an underlying Fair Labor Standards Act case.
Case Three
The firm obtained a favorable decision in a special proceeding seeking enforcement of a multi-million dollar judgment. The Court sustained each and every cause of action in our petition made pursuant to NY DCL §§273, 274, 275, and 278.
Case Two
The New York Law Journal reported on a recent favorable decision the firm obtained in a judgment enforcement proceeding.
Case One
The firm obtained the vacatur of a default judgment in the amount of $1.2M entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Federal Courts in Florida are a notoriously difficult venue to reopen a judgment; fewer than 1% of cases are successful in getting a default judgment vacated where sufficiency of service was not challenged.
