Getting a Judgment
Litigation
Effective litigation requires a thorough command of the rules of Civil Procedure and applying them in a common sense and meaningful manner. The goal when prosecuting a case is to get an enforceable judgment that will not be reversed on appeal. When defending a case, the goal is to get the claims properly dismissed. Achieving these goals requires paying careful attention to the details of every case and knowing what to do and when to do it. The knowledge comes from experience.
Enforcing a Judgment
Judgment Collection
The law provides tools to judgment creditors in the form of subpoenas, earnings garnishments, non-earnings garnishments, attachments, writs of execution and debtor examinations to collect judgments. Social media accounts and pubic websites such as the Corporation Commission, Secretary of State, and Recorder’s offices all provide valuable information about potential assets. Knowing where to look and what tool to use to collect a judgment comes from years of experience.
Preserving Value
Creditor's Rights in Bankruptcy
Whether it is filing motions for relief from the automatic stay, proof of claims, plan objections, preference litigation, discharge litigation or claims litigation knowing the Local Rules of Procedure and Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure is only part of the process. Having the experience that comes from filing thousands of pleadings, and working with trustees, fellow bankruptcy attorneys and appearing before every Bankruptcy Judge in Arizona provides the foundation for effective and efficient legal representation for creditors in bankruptcy.
