Foreign Judgment Enforcement in California

What is a Foreign
Judgment Enforcement?

A Foreign Judgment is a judgment entered in a country that is outside of the United States. Foreign Judgments can be enforced under California and American law, often pursuant to treaties with foreign countries, if it can be proven that you have a fair final judgment from another country.

Greenbaum Law Group Fees for Foreign Judgment Collection

We offer a choice between contingent fees (a percentage) or hourly fees (charged by the hour). See our FAQ page on which is right for you and how to make the choice. We recover more money, more often than other attorneys or collectors. If you are a contingent fee client and we don’t recover, there is no fee. The out-of-pocket filing fees for the court enforcement documents, motions, hearings, and liens and the fee for the process servers are generally small.
