What Are Writs, Levies, and Wage Attachments?
When you’re enforcing a judgment, timing and accuracy matter. Calwest supports attorneys and legal teams with reliable execution, documentation, and status visibility without adding friction to your workflow.
- Writs: A writ is a court order directing a sheriff or other authorized official to take a specific action, often to collect on a judgment.
- Levies: A levy is the legal process of seizing property or assets to satisfy a court judgment; commonly used for legal levies and structured levy enforcement.
- Wage Attachments: A wage attachment is a court-ordered deduction from an individual’s paycheck to repay a debt or judgment; often referred to as wage garnishment in California.
Calwest streamlines these legal document attachments with a compliance-first approach, helping you move from order to action efficiently and professionally.
