As a property owner, you may have encountered the term ‘judgment lien.’ Liens are powerful debt-collecting tools, but they can cause complications for real estate property owners and creditors.

If you’ve been involved in a civil lawsuit where you were awarded monetary damages, there are certain procedures you’ll need to be aware of.

Under California laws, creditors and debt collectors are allowed to interact with debtors reasonably or seek court intervention in an attempt to recover unpaid debts.

At some point in your life, you’ll likely need help resolving a dispute. This could be due to a business concern, a contract disagreement, a divorce, or another family law concern. Most people will want to turn to a lawyer for help and expect litigation as a possible outcome, with its costs and lengthy time frame.
