How We Can Help You Enforce Your Judgment
Enforcing a judgment is not a straightforward process, and it can require legal expertise and persistence. At Aaron Bruner, Attorney at Law, we are able to utilize a wide range of tools so your judgment is enforced efficiently and effectively:
- Post-Judgment Discovery: If you are unsure where the debtor’s assets are located, we can conduct post-judgment discovery to gather information about their income, assets, and property. The results can help identify the best course of action for enforcing your

- Property Liens: If the debtor owns real property, a lien can be implemented onto it, meaning they will not be able to sell or refinance the property without first paying off the lien (and therefore satisfying the judgment). This is a powerful tool to increase the chances of the owed amount being paid; placing a lien on a debtor’s property can limit the freedom they have with the property until the judgment has been satisfied.

- Debt Settlement Negotiation: In some cases, it may be in your best interest to settle the debt rather than pursue the full amount through legal tools. We can negotiate with the debtor to reach a fair settlement that allows you to recover part of the judgment while avoiding further litigation.
