What is a Judgment?
A judgment is an order from a court that determines the rights and obligations of the parties involved in a lawsuit. When it comes to debt, a judgment is a ruling that you owe a certain amount of money to a creditor. Once a judgment is issued, the creditor can legally take steps to collect the debt.
After receiving a judgment, a creditor may be able to:
- Place a lien on your home or other property
- Garnish your wages
- Levy your bank accounts
- Repossess your vehicle
- Seize other assets
What is Judgment Settlement?
Settling a judgment means reaching an agreement with the creditor that allows you to pay less than the full amount owed. In some cases, you may be able to settle the judgment for as little as 20-25% of the total amount owed. This can save you a significant amount of money and can help you avoid wage garnishment and other collection efforts.
When you settle a judgment, you agree to pay the creditor a lump sum or a series of payments. In exchange, the creditor agrees to release the judgment and stop all collection efforts. This can provide you with great relief and allow you to move forward on a path to financial freedom.
Our Orange County judgment settlement attorneys can help you negotiate with your creditors and work toward a favorable resolution. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist you.

"It Was The Right Decision"
Patricia and Fabiola were both such a great help from the start. It was the right decision to seek legal help when dealing with these debt collectors. The process with Fitzgerald & Campbell was very simple and straightforward, it reduced the stress of my situation greatly for a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

"Provided Clarity and Prompt Communication"
We got involved in a domestication of sister-state judgment (from a vehicle accident in Nevada) that involved a different person with the same name, it was originally served to a different address. Several other attorneys had no clue how to deal with this case, suggesting to get our vehicle insurance involved. Attorney William J. Campbell, Luz Rodriguez and case manager Christina did a great job and provided clarity and prompt communication on how to file a motion to vacate this sister-state judgment. The case is now vacated and dismissed without prejudice. Highly recommended.

"I Can't Thank Fitzgerald & Campbell Enough"
I found myself dealing with a judgement and wage garnishment, Fitzgerald & Campbell explained to me what my options were on how to settle and get myself out of this situation. I was supplied and guided on how to fill out proper paperwork and never once had to deal with said creditor myself, Fitzgerald & Campbell did all of the communication between myself and the creditor. I can't thank Fitzgerald & Campbell enough (especially Patricia!) For negotiating a settlement I could pay in full and put this whole ordeal behind me. If you are feeling stranded in a hole with everyone coming at you Fitzgerald & Campbell are there extending a friendly hand to get you out of that hole and back on your feet.
