What Can I Do if a Judgment is Filed Against Me?

 Filed Judgments

                                                 
          When final judgments are entered against you, which sometimes can happen without your knowledge. You then have the option to file for a Motion to Vacate or to Set Aside the judgment in the same court in which it was entered.  The Motion to Vacate or Set Aside may be a proper defense, however it will usually only delay a judgment and can cost you legal fees that don't get much relief.  Knowing your other debts and liabilities before taking legal action as well as keeping records of what you learned about the judgment will be critical to the case.  In some cases a more global bankruptcy is a better plan; in others we can attack the judgments one at a time.  Come see the Slomka Law Firm to discuss all of your options.
