Domestication and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments

Our attorneys are experienced in domesticating and enforcing judgments. Whether the judgment that needs to be satisfied was awarded in Alabama or another state, our attorneys know how to navigate the process of exhausting all avenues of collection and satisfaction of the judgment awarded to our clients which allows them to be in the best position for justice to be served. This expertise includes knowing how to get a judgment from a foreign court (a court outside of Alabama) recognized and enforced in this jurisdiction (Alabama), as well as getting a judgment from an Alabama court enforced in other jurisdictions outside this state. This process is referred to as “domesticating a judgment” and causes an out-of-state judgment to become legally binding and enforceable in a new jurisdiction.
