Wage Garnishment

Wage Garnishment

When a creditor threatens to have your wages garnished, it can be a very disconcerting and upsetting experience. You are already in a financial bind, what will you do when a creditor garnishes your wages? How will you support yourself and your family? How will you be able to buy the things you need, like gasoline for your car, groceries and utilities?

If you have been threatened to have your wages garnished in order to settle a debt, or have already begun having your wages garnished, it is important that you consult a qualified wage garnishment attorney as soon as possible. Although your employer cannot legally terminate you for having your wages garnished, it can still be extremely embarrassing to have your employer learn of the financial difficulties you have been struggling with.

There are a variety of laws that creditors must follow in order to garnish someone’s wages. Although you may owe a substantial amount of money, you have rights as well. A good wage garnishment attorney will explore the situation at hand to determine whether the creditor(s) who are garnishing your wages are following the proper procedures and the law.

The Law Office of Stewart Lim has extensive experience in the area of wage garnishment law, and has had proven successes negotiating with creditors to stop wage garnishment and either get the debt cleared or negotiate a more reasonable payment plan to settle the debt.

If your wages are being garnished, or if you are being threatened to have your wages garnished, call us today to schedule a consultation. We can help.

I was thoroughly impressed by Stewart's ability to quickly handle my parents' bankruptcy through the pandemic. He had EVERYTHING in place for them to virtually review and sign all of the documents, and was phenomenal when it came to helping my computer illiterate parents navigate technology. He was so patient walking them through it all.

Stewart Lim was very helpful throughout the whole bankruptcy process from start to finish. I shopped around for attorneys but all of the ones I spoke to seemed too corporate. When I spoke to Stewart for the first time he was very down to earth. He was always accessible whether it was thru call, text, or email. Answering all questions I had even questions that did not pertain to my bankruptcy case breaking down everything into terms that I could actually understand. He made my situation seem very manageable and easygoing. Stewart Lim was an easy choice for me and worked out well.

From start to finish I was given excellent counsel. I started the arduous task of having to file for bankruptcy in May 2019. Mr. Lim was always available to answer any questions I had to streamline the process. In less than 3 months I had my court date and have been relieved of the stress of my debt. Thank you Mr. Lim I would definitely recommend your services to family and friends if they are faced with the tough decision of bankruptcy
