In order to register a foreign district court judgment in Florida, a judgment creditor must obtain a certified copy of the judgment or order from the creditor’s local district court along with a separate certification form from the clerk (Clerk’s Certification of a Judgment to be Registered in Another District). The judgment is then filed with the clerk along with a fee.
If your client has obtained a federal court money judgment or order, let attorney Joel Blumberg and CreditorCollections, A Law Firm, assist you in registering and enforcing the judgment in the Florida district courts. We are available to consult with you and your client on the best and most efficient ways to accomplish your goal: recovering your judgment.
After Judgment Registration
Once properly registered, the judgment can be enforced using federal and state procedures. Our law office can assist you and your client with all steps in the registration and recovery process. You can stay involved in the process as well. The garnishment of the judgment debtor’s bank and brokerage accounts, wages and money in the hands of others is accomplished through state laws. The levy or execution on a judgment debtor’s real and personal property, such as residences and businesses, is accomplished through the federal rules and state law. The civil enforcement services of the U.S. marshal are utilized for all of our executions and levies.
Joel Blumberg and CreditorCollections, A Law Firm, can obtain financial discovery from the judgment debtor and also obtain information and documentation from third parties such as banks and businesses. We can help you and your client with these processes and other potential enforcement mechanisms, such as supplementary proceedings, where other parties can be added to the litigation. We also have a thorough understanding of Florida state exemptions.
