In April 2022, a lawsuit was filed against the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office alleging negligence and conversion related to the execution of a judgment. The plaintiff claimed that the sheriff’s office improperly executed a property sale and distributed proceeds to an attorney not of record, violating the plaintiff’s charging lien under Judiciary Law 475. The court dismissed the complaint, but the case highlights concerns about the sheriff’s office’s handling of legal procedures.
