Our litigation team represents clients across a wide range of disputes, including contract issues, business conflicts, and more. We provide strategic advocacy, guiding clients through each stage of the litigation process.
Finding and securing those assets is the key to actually collecting what is owed to you.
Too often, however, a search for the debtor’s assets is not done before the creditor has received a favorable judgment or has reached a negotiated settlement with the debtor.
And all too often, by the time the search is then started, the debtor has already hidden or dissipated the assets, adding to the difficulty and expense of collecting the debt.
An early and thorough pre-litigation asset search gives you the vital information that you need to decide upon the best strategy to recover what is owed to you.
This early search gives you and our team at Levin-Epstein & Associates, P.C., the strategic advantage of being able to move immediately to secure the debtor’s assets once a judgment has been received or a settlement has been signed.
Our network of attorneys and investigators is always ready to work aggressively to locate, secure, and recover the debtor’s assets wherever, and whatever, those assets may be. Whether the assets are financial instruments, real property, or valuable personal property – our team will find them.
Should the debtor refuse to honor the court’s order or a settlement agreement, we will robustly and responsibly deploy the full weight of the discovery process to obtain the relevant information from the debtor and its network. This weight can be substantial: Subpoenas for Personal Appearance at a Deposition and Subpoenas to Produce Documents are court orders that recipients may not ignore without putting themselves at substantial legal risk.
Levin-Epstein & Associates, P.C., is prepared to issue subpoenas – and then depose – both the debtor and its network including:
Banking institutions
Business associates
Employers
Family members
Financial advisors

Case Six
Our firm secured a nearly $1 million default judgment in New York’s Supreme Court under CPLR § 3215. The defendant’s repeated delays—missed conferences and cycling through multiple attorneys—were firmly rejected by the Court. This outcome reflects our unwavering dedication to achieving results against even the most obstructive tactics.
Case Five
The firm obtained vacatur of a default in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan based on the imperfection of service of process where the Plaintiff served state court summons rather than federal court summons following removal from state court to federal court.
Case Four
The firm obtained dismissal of two fraudulent conveyance actions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, which were filed in connection with an underlying Fair Labor Standards Act case.
Case Three
The firm obtained a favorable decision in a special proceeding seeking enforcement of a multi-million dollar judgment. The Court sustained each and every cause of action in our petition made pursuant to NY DCL §§273, 274, 275, and 278.
Case Two
The New York Law Journal reported on a recent favorable decision the firm obtained in a judgment enforcement proceeding.
Case One
The firm obtained the vacatur of a default judgment in the amount of $1.2M entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Federal Courts in Florida are a notoriously difficult venue to reopen a judgment; fewer than 1% of cases are successful in getting a default judgment vacated where sufficiency of service was not challenged.
