Re: Freeze bank acct w/o judgment

The only way an attorney could "freeze a bank account" would be through a writ of attachment or writ of execution. A writ of attachment would require a court order issued only after notice to the account holder and an opportunity to be heard. A writ of execution is issued after a judgment is entered. In either case the account holder would have some advance warning.

Do you know of any lawsuits? The attorney may have been granted a pre-judgment attachment. We would have to review the papers you have or have received from the bank.
