Re: default judgement

Depending on the nature of the default judgment there may be a thirty day appeal period. Legal Aid for the County in which you reside may provide legal services for free. The enforcement of a judgment can consist on the Sheriff attaching personal property, cars, furniture etc. Under the law certain property is exempt. Bank Accounts may be attached but wages in most cases can attached. Strongly recommend you seek legal counsel. Gerald Hershenson Esq.
