Domestication of judgments within U.S. states and territories, sometimes referred to as “sister state” judgments, are based on the “Full Faith and Credit” clause contained in the U.S. Constitution. Most states have ratified a version of the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Money Judgment Act that streamlines the process of enforcing judgments across state lines. Florida is a signatory to the act.
From our office in West Palm Beach, Florida, CreditorCollections, A Law Firm, can help you domesticate a judgment in Florida and assist you in settling your debt controversy. With over 30 years’ experience, our dedicated collections and asset recovery team understands the law and knows how to help you obtain the result you desire: the recovery of your funds.
United States Full Faith And Credit Lawyer
At CreditorCollections, A Law Firm, we typically begin our representation of creditors with a “suite” of initial services intended to locate potential assets for garnishment and execution. Assets of the debtor that may have been transferred or are held by other entities may be pursued through Florida’s proceedings supplementary. Knowledge of this process helps us represent alleged debtors with equal skill and zeal.
In addition to the foregoing, federal court judgments from any federal district court can be registered in any other district and then enforced. Our law firm has the knowledge and ability to quickly register your federal court judgment and then pursue or contest enforcement by utilizing the United States Marshals Service and ancillary state laws.
