Re: Civil Judgment

A civil judgment allows creditors to garnishee wages and sieze assets which are not properly claimed as exempt. The judgment will also serve as a lien against any real estate you own in the county where it is docketted. If these things concern you, you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney, since most judgment can be discharged in bankruptcy. Good luck!
