Benefits of Hiring a Wage Garnishment Relief Attorney

Filing the wrong chapter of bankruptcy can cost you assets you could have kept, or leave you with debts you could have discharged. An attorney ensures you choose the right path.

The moment you file bankruptcy, an automatic stay stops all collection actions — calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and foreclosure proceedings. An attorney gets this protection in place quickly.

Bankruptcy exemptions are complex and vary by state. An attorney knows exactly which assets you can protect and structures your filing to maximize what you keep.

Mistakes on bankruptcy paperwork can result in your case being dismissed, debts not being discharged, or worse — allegations of bankruptcy fraud. The forms are extensive and unforgiving.

Creditors have lawyers. When you file, those lawyers look for ways to object to your discharge. Your attorney anticipates and addresses those objections.

Common Questions About Wage Garnishment Relief

General information only — not legal advice.

How much of my wages can be garnished?

Federal law generally limits garnishment to 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30 times minimum wage, whichever is less. Some states have lower limits. Different rules apply for child support and taxes.

Can bankruptcy stop wage garnishment?

Yes. Filing triggers an automatic stay that immediately stops most garnishments. In Chapter 7, the debt may be discharged. In Chapter 13, garnished debts can be included in the repayment plan.
