We are committed to providing you with the best bankruptcy experience for a reasonable fee.
Unfortunately a common reason to file bankruptcy is to stop the garnishment of wages. The enforcement of a judgment entered against you can cripple your already strapped finances each month. Up to 25% of your net wages can be taken each pay period until the judgment is paid off. This will include attorney fees and costs and interest added to the judgment. The attorney fees and costs can total anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 and the interest depends upon how much the total judgment is. The bottom line is that there are options to stop the garnishment and get back some or all of your garnished wages.
