If a creditor has already received your money through garnishment, your options for relief are severely limited. Garnishment can be stopped with bankruptcy for most debt matters. Exceptions, such as child support and alimony, can be discussed with your lawyer during a confidential consultation.
The Orlando wage garnishment attorneys at the law firm of Richard A. Heller, P.A., have a great deal of experience helping clients find financial relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Many individuals face wage garnishment from creditors. Essentially, the best way to avoid garnishment is to speak to an attorney prior to a judgment being issued. If you get notification of a creditor lawsuit, it is important to seek experienced counsel at once. Many people can be exempt from a garnishment, but do not realize it. Florida statutes can, in most circumstances, protect the head of household, for example. Other incomes such as social security and workers' compensation may also be exempt. Your attorney can explain your options and protections.
Central Florida Stop Garnishment Attorneys
Wage garnishment can cause a devastating cascade of events. An individual is having trouble paying bills, so a creditor gets a judgment to garnish the individual's paycheck. This leaves even less money to pay the remaining bills. Workers who have their wages garnished can quickly find the situation overwhelming. If you did not consult with a lawyer before the judgment and now have your wages garnished, the sooner you speak to an attorney the better.
