Douglas & Cobb County Wage Garnishment Attorney

Ending Wage Garnishment through Bankruptcy

Wage garnishment is one of the unfortunate situations that can befall those who are struggling with debt. When you fall behind on your monthly payments for utilities, car loans or credit card debts, your creditors may pursue legal action against you to obtain a garnishment. If the judge rules in the creditor's favor, your employer will receive a court order directing that your salary be garnished, and every pay cycle you will receive a reduced check until the amount you are in arrears is made up or you make other arrangements such as debt consolidation.

Having your wages garnished can be a stressful and embarrassing experience. To make matters worse, it often sends a debtor into deeper financial difficulty, because most people have several demands on their resources and with a reduced paycheck it can become even more difficult to maintain monthly payments. While the garnishment serves to resolve one debt, the others may begin to mount and send you even closer to the limit of what you can handle. If you have been threatened with wage garnishment or are already suffering this drain on your income, you should contact an experienced Douglas & Cobb County bankruptcy attorney who can advise you of your options and help you stop the wage garnishment.
