We are committed to providing you with the best bankruptcy experience for a reasonable fee.
If your wages are about to be garnished or are already being garnished, time is of the essence. The longer you wait to speak with experienced bankruptcy attorneys like us the less money we can get back for you. Just because some of your wages were garnished does not mean they are gone forever. Let us help you stop your wage garnishment California. We need to file your bankruptcy case as soon as possible though. If you have received notice from your payroll department that they are going to start garnishing your wages then your case needs to be filed at least three days prior to the day you are going to be paid. Even then the garnishment of that check may not be stopped. No further garnishment will be allowed though and you should receive the amount garnished back, but it will take some time. Once your bankruptcy case is filed we fax notice of the bankruptcy case to your payroll department, the levying officer and the law firm being used to enforce the judgment against you. The levying officer is usually the civil division of the sheriff’s department of the county you are employed or payroll department is located if you work for a large corporation.
Our fees are very reasonable also. We have taken the time to find the least expensive providers of the required course you must complete to file and obtain a discharge of your debts when filing bankruptcy. If you are paying over $5.00 for the credit counseling course of $9.99 for the financial management course you are paying too much. Some law firms charge up to a total of $100 for both of these courses. Why would you want to do business with them and pay $80 too much? Why do business with a law firm that does not care about their clients enough to get the best possible deal for them? We do care and that is why we make sure our clients to do over pay for anything. Do some research before you choose who represents you. Attorney fees vary depending upon the firm you contact.
