Domestication of Judgments
into Virginia or West Virginia

In the realm of foreign judgment domestication, we provide informed guidance to creditors, carefully advising on the merits of available legal avenues. Clients may opt for the often modern and efficient affidavit and docketing process under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (VA Code § 8.01-465.1 et seq.; WV Code Ch. 55, Art. 14 et seq.), or the traditional suit under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 1). Each option has strategic uses, advantages, and disadvantages to consider. Our service ensures that creditors make a well-informed decision that aligns with their interests. Additionally, we are experienced at responding to objections and legal challenges to domestications in the pursuit that our clients’ judgments are upheld with the same force and effect in Virginia or West Virginia as in their state of origin. Our practice is built on thoughtful services, designed to ensure that all our actions are considered to serve our clients’ interests as well as possible.
