Winning a lawsuit is only a theoretical victory; actual success is defined by the money landing in your bank account. The enforcement stage in Georgia is bureaucratic and can be incredibly slow without active legal supervision. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we bridge the gap between a court verdict and liquid funds by representing creditors before the National Bureau of Enforcement (NBE). Once the Writ of Execution is issued, we file the necessary applications to open enforcement proceedings immediately. We do not simply submit documents and wait; we actively monitor the assigned enforcement officer to ensure that every statutory deadline under the Law of Georgia on Enforcement Proceedings is strictly met.
Our role involves aggressive management of the coercive measures available under the law. Upon expiration of the standard 7-day voluntary performance period, we push for immediate action. This includes the identification and seizure of the debtor’s movable and immovable property, freezing of bank accounts, and garnishment of wages. If the debtor attempts to hide assets or obstruct the process, we petition the NBE for police assistance to access premises or locate hidden inventory. We scrutinize the asset appraisal process to ensure property is not undervalued, maximizing the potential recovery.
Furthermore, we manage the complex auction process on your behalf. If the debtor fails to pay, their seized assets are sold via the state’s electronic auction system (e-auction.ge). We oversee the scheduling of these auctions, monitor bidding activity, and advise you on your rights as a creditor, such as the right to accept property in kind (in lieu of payment) if the auction fails. Our hands-on representation ensures that your file does not get lost in the heavy caseload of the NBE, keeping the pressure on the debtor until the obligation is fully discharged.
