There are some limitations, which will be briefly described below. This discussion is not exhaustive, and is meant to give the reader a brief overview of the factors involved. If you have a specific case in which you wish to bring a garnishment, please feel free to email or call us to discuss it. See the glossary for more details. There is a federal law which restricts the amount that a creditor can garnish.
Net pay is defined as the gross pay, less all legally required deductions.
This includes all costs associated with the garnishment, and all post judgment costs and interest. In summary, we recommend wage garnishments when the conditions are right.
