Worried About What a Lawsuit Could Mean for Your Assets?
A civil judgment does not automatically mean losing your home, savings, or other property. Arizona law protects certain categories of property from many civil judgments, including a homestead exemption for equity in a primary residence (A.R.S. § (480) 582-1549, household goods and furnishings up to a statutory limit (A.R.S. § (480) 582-1549, and a motor vehicle up to a statutory value (A.R.S. § (480) 582-1549. What may actually be protected depends on the type of claim, judgment, asset, and individual circumstances, and exemption amounts adjust periodically, so current figures should be confirmed directly.
If protecting your home, savings, or other assets is your primary concern, learn more about the protections that may apply under Arizona law.

Phoenix Civil Litigation Attorney FAQs
What does a civil litigation attorney do?
A civil litigation attorney represents clients in non-criminal legal disputes involving matters such as contracts, money, business disagreements, property, and other civil claims. An attorney may become involved before a lawsuit is filed or after litigation has already begun.
When should I hire a civil litigation attorney?
It may be worth speaking with a civil litigation attorney when you receive a demand letter, are threatened with a lawsuit, have been served with a complaint, or are involved in a contract, financial, or property dispute that is not resolving. Speaking with an attorney early can help you understand your rights, potential exposure, and available options.
Can a lawsuit take my house in Arizona?
Not automatically. Arizona law provides a homestead exemption (A.R.S. § 33-1101) that protects qualifying equity in a primary residence from many civil judgments. Whether and how the exemption applies depends on the type of judgment and the individual circumstances. → Learn More: Protect Your Assets From a Civil Lawsuit in Arizona
