In this day and age, emails, documents, drafts, and proposals are generally transmitted, saved, and archived in a digital format. Typically, these tasks are accomplished by way of WORD or PDF. However, there are an array of other records that also exist in other formats, such as images, pictures, cell phone screenshots, maps, sketches, snippets, and so on, which may be amassed intermittently or spontaneously. It is important that everyone involved (be it attorneys or staff of a firm, or their clients) be able to efficiently save, transmit, and/or retrieve files in a short time.

For users of any current versions of Acrobat (Pro, Cloud, or similar versions), securing a PDF attachment with a password is relatively simple. You open the File menu, select properties, navigate to the “securities” tab, and change the document security settings by clicking add “password security”.

One of the questions that we frequently hear is, “can I do a levy, if I do not know the debtor’s account number?” This answer is, generally, yes, but this is also a two-fold issue. One of the many misconceptions about enforcements of judgments is that the creditor will have to levy upon a specific account number. This is completely incorrect. The true scenario is that the creditor can levy on the depository accounts in the name of the debtor, the debtor’s spouse (with an “affidavit of identity of spouse”), in a fictitious business name of the debtor, and/or “whether held in the name of the debtor alone or together with third parties”.
