Judges do not freeze bank accounts in the absence of a motion showing the likelihood of success in the case and fraud to prevent the debtor from collecting.

Pre-judgment attachments are extremely rare and require facts not stated in your question. I don't think you're at risk of an attachment prior to judgment.

Although my colleagues have given excellent answers, I will also add that it is extremely unlikely (if not impossible legally) for a judge to say that your account will be exempt *AFTER* a judgment has been entered against you.
