Enforcing Civil Judgment Steps
Full Conversation
i recently won a civil suit and defendent didnt pay so i filed form *. still no response. what is my next action?
Hello Danielle, If the defendant still doesn't pay, you may need to take further steps to enforce the judgment. This could include garnishing the defendant's wages or placing a lien on their property. Please consult a lawyer to discuss your options.
would that be filing the writ of execution?
Yes, Danielle. Filing a Writ of Execution is indeed one of the ways to enforce a judgment in Pennsylvania. This allows the sheriff to seize the debtor's property. Please consult with a lawyer for specific advice.
do i have to have a lawyer to file this? i didnt use one for the form *
Hello Danielle, you're not required to have a lawyer to file a Writ of Execution in Pennsylvania. However, legal processes can be complex and a lawyer could provide valuable guidance. It's always recommended to consult one when possible.
Thank you
You're welcome, Danielle! If you have any more questions in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your case!
