Resolution · For the plaintiff

Enforcing and Collecting a Judgment

Winning is half the job. New York's CPLR Article 52 gives judgment creditors strong tools to find assets and collect.

Finding assets

Information subpoenas and depositions of the debtor reveal bank accounts, employers and property.

Collection tools

Restraining notices, bank levies via marshal or sheriff, income executions and property executions.

Out-of-county assets

A judgment can be docketed in other New York counties and domesticated in other states.

Common questions

Can I garnish wages?
Yes, up to statutory limits through an income execution.
What if the debtor is a dissolved company?
Collection may still be possible against assets or, in some cases, owners.
