Contra Costa County Automatic Stay Attorneys
Creditors have the ability to petition the court to garnish your wages in order to collect on your debt. Your creditors can obtain 25 percent of your net income until the debt is repaid. Our California lawyers understand the severe emotional and financial hardships associated with wage garnishments. We devote our time, talent and resources to helping our clients stop garnishments.
The Cline Law Group comprises Oakland wage garnishment attorneys who provide Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy representation. Notably, unlike other law firms, we only focus on bankruptcy representation. Our extensive experience handling complicated bankruptcy issues and our sophisticated knowledge of federal bankruptcy codes enables us to tailor our representation to your unique situation.
Stopping Wage Garnishment
Filing for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection provides the benefit of the automatic stay, which halts all legal action against you by creditors. If a creditor receives a judgment against you and attempts to garnish your wages, filing for bankruptcy will stop the garnishment process.
Even if creditors already garnished wages, we can help. Typically, the sheriff's office holds garnished funds for 20 days. In some situations, the sheriff may return wages that were garnished before you filed bankruptcy.
