STATE COURT CASES
The Langel Firm Stops Wage Garnishment, Gets Judgment Vacated, Case Discontinued
Our client noticed that his wages were being garnished by a mysterious creditor. He was never served because he was living in Massachusetts at the time the case started. Five years after entry of a judgment, The Langel Firm re-opened the case with irrefutable proof of his Massachusetts residence. Cohen & Slamowitz agreed to immediately stop the garnishment and discontinue the case. MRC Receivables Corp. v. S.M, 158932-06 (Civil Court, Kings County, 2011)
The Langel Firm Unfreezes Bank Account, Gets Judgment Vacated, Case Discontinued
Our California-resident consumer client was sued in NY without living here. A default judgment led to a frozen bank account. Personal jurisdiction was never actually acquired, but through a default judgment, Palisades succeeded in freezing his California bank account by directing a New York bank branch to freeze his accounts. We re-opened the case with irrefutable proof of his California residence. Cohen & Slamowitz, which represented Palisades in the case, agreed to vacate the judgment and discontinue the case immediately. Perhaps it recognized the unfairness of enforcing a judgment knowingly premised on lack of due process. Palisades Acquisition, XVI, LLC v. Darrell B., 116781/09 (Civil Court, Queens County, 2011).
Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP Exemption-Claim Process
Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP was unsuccessful in its attempt to place burden of establishing exempt income on judgment debtor. Midland Funding LLC v Roberts, 37 Misc 3d 617 (Sup Ct 2012).
