Judgment Recovery Nevada

Turn your Nevada judgment into cash. Asset location and post-judgment enforcement under Nevada law — NRS Chapters 17, 21, and 31 — including wage garnishment, bank levy, property liens, and out-of-state judgment domestication via Nevada's Sister-State Judgments Act.

Nevada judgments are valid for 6 years and renewable indefinitely. We manage the renewal calendar, locate assets that may have been hidden or moved, and coordinate enforcement actions through the appropriate court. The judgment is just the starting point — recovery requires asset discovery and the right enforcement tool.

Enforcement Tools Available Under Nevada Law

• Wage garnishment — Nevada garnishment is limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage per week (NRS 31.295). We file and serve garnishments and manage employer correspondence.
• Bank levy — Bank account seizure under NRS 21.080 et seq. We identify accounts through licensed databases and lawful sources before serving.
• Property liens — Recording judgment liens against real property in any Nevada county where the debtor owns assets.
• Vehicle and personal property — Where collectibility justifies the action, we coordinate sheriff's levy on non-exempt personal property.
• Asset investigations — Skip-trace, employment verification, asset database checks, and public-record searches before enforcement action.

Out-of-State Judgment Domestication

Have a judgment from another state? We domesticate it in Nevada under the Nevada Sister-State Judgments Act. The process: certified copy of the original judgment, Nevada filing, affidavit, and notice to debtor. Once domesticated, the judgment is treated as a Nevada judgment and all standard enforcement tools become available against assets located in Nevada.

Judgment Renewal

Nevada judgments are valid for 6 years (NRS 17.214). They can be renewed indefinitely, but renewal must be filed before the original expires. We manage the renewal calendar for active judgment portfolios so judgments don't lapse silently. Renewed judgments retain their priority date for lien purposes.

Process & Timing

1. Judgment intake. We review the judgment, the case file, prior collection history, and prior asset investigation.
2. Asset discovery. Skip-trace, employment verification, banking and asset database searches, and public-record review.
3. Enforcement plan. We recommend the right tool — garnishment, levy, lien, or combination — based on what's locatable and collectible.
4. Execution. File, serve, and follow through. We coordinate with court clerks, sheriffs, employers, and banks.
5. Reporting & remittance. Net or gross remittance per your agreement.
