The petition for the money judgment warrants that you consult with a consumer law attorney to assist you in trying to resolve the situation that you are writing about in that most likely there is a judgment against you (or at least an intent to get a judgment) for money due.
Most likely this petition suggests a judgment against you where your assets will be attenpted to be levied upon for satisfaction of the judgment.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
