Re: release of judgment

You may file a Satisfaction of Judgment, and set it for hearing in front of the Judge who entered the judgment. When the attorney gets the Notice of Hearing, he will likely concede the Satisfaction rather than go before the Judge to explain why he did not file the Satisfaction when requested. This is assuming you did not pay by personal check, whereby the attorney would be wise to hold off filing a Satisfaction or Release for several weeks.

Good Luck
