Probably yes. It depends on what the judgment is for.

Re: Judgment against you

I believe what you mean to ask is whether or not a judgment is dischargeable. The answer depends on what the basis of the underlying judgment is, what chapter of bankruptcy you are filing, and numerous other considerations. If you desire representation and would like a free consultation, please visit my webpage at http://www.bklaw.com/consult.html and then contact me to schedule a time. Regards, Mark

Re: Judgment against you

There is a split in california as to whether judgments are dischargeable. The one decision that remains is that California will not allow the discharge of judgments wherein the underlying claim was based upon either "fraud or intentional misrepresentation."

Otherwise, you should be able to discharge a judgment.

Good luck, if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
