In North Carolina, the judgment creditor and judgment debtor have certain rights and obligations. There are many detailed federal and state laws that govern collection of judgments.

Moreover, people who had a judgment issued against them have the right to protect certain property from being taken to pay a judgment. If the judgment debtor does not ask for these exemptions, they are lost. At Triangle Law Group, we have substantial experience representing clients on both the winning and losing side of a case that resulted in a judgment.
