In Arizona can a debt collector come after my LLC bank account assets if I own only 49% of the LLC?

A: This can actually be a complicated question. Sometimes a creditor in Arizona can “pierce the corporate veil” in the context of a garnishment action. We have represented clients in such actions, and sometimes what a creditor can do is surprising. It is also possible, though, that those doctrines wouldn’t apply in this case. A lot will depend upon your specific facts. If you have other questions, you can call my direct line at 480-325-9913.
