What is the effect of obtaining a judgment against someone who owes me money?
When you obtain a judgment, it allows you to take certain collection actions that you could not take without a judgment, such as garnishing your debtor’s wages and bank accounts. When you docket your judgment with the circuit court clerk, the judgment serves as a lien against any real property the debtor has in that jurisdiction.
