If you obtain a judgment in another state, but your judgment-debtor has assets in Arizona, contact Windtberg & Zdancewicz, PLC to assist you. Our attorneys are experienced in domesticating foreign judgments and helping out-of-state clients, creditors, or lawyers with collection efforts.
A “foreign judgment” is a judgment, decree, or order of a court in the United States or of any other court which is entitled to full faith and credit in Arizona. Pursuant to the Uniform Enforcement of Judgments Act (as adopted by Arizona), a copy of any authenticated foreign judgment may be filed in an Arizona superior court. The clerk of the superior court “shall treat the foreign judgment in the same manner as a judgment of the superior court of this state.” A.R.S. §12-1702. Once the judgment is domesticated, it is fully enforceable in Arizona.
