Project
Helping Low-Income New Yorkers collect the money they are owed when they win judgments for wage theft and other abuses.
How CJP Helps Low-Income New Yorkers Get What They Are Owed:
Identify
We use advanced investigatory and legal strategies to identify potential assets that can be used to satisfy a judgment.
Prevent
We prevent the assets from being fraudulently transferred during litigation.
Seize
We seize assets once a judgment is won.
“The Creditor Justice Project plays a critical role in the city’s legal services community through its work to ensure that people who win their cases will get their money.”

CJP Files Suit to Protect Home Health Aides from Fraudulent Transfers
The Creditor Justice Project filed a lawsuit in Queens Supreme Court on behalf of a group of home health aides, asserting claims for violations of the Labor Law and Debtor and Creditor Law. The suit alleges that the workers were for years only paid for 13 hours of their 24 hour shifts, even though the Labor Law required compensation for all 24 hours. The suit further alleges that after the individual operator of the corporate employer became aware that she might be sued, she transferred four properties with collective market value exceeding $4 million to Limited Liability Companies and a trust that she and her husband controlled. CJP is co-counseling the case with the National Center for Law and Economic Justice and the firm of Getman, Sweeney & Dunn, PLLC.
