Re: Won a Default Judgement

Dear Victor:

Congratulations on your Default Judgment. Under the law of Ohio, the Defendant has 30 days from the date of the Judgment Entry filed by the Court, to appeal. And, unless the Notice of Appeal is actually filed, and a copy is served upon you by U.S. Mail, or Personal Service, on or before the end of the 30th calendar day, you may proceed to levy execution on your judgment. If the 30th day falls on a weekend or holiday, then the next business day is the cutoff day.

Good luck.

Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
