Wage Garnishment Attorney In Chicago, Illinois

The only practical way to stop the garnishment of your wages is through filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or

Chapter 13 bankruptcy. When you file for bankruptcy protection under either of these chapters, part of that protection includes an automatic stay. This is an injunction that stops wage garnishment, foreclosure, lawsuits and all collection activity against you the moment a bankruptcy petition is filed. All collections activities must cease immediately after you file for bankruptcy under penalty of law. This includes the garnishment of your wages.


PLEASE NOTE: A wage garnishment based on unpaid child support or spousal support will be exempt from the automatic stay.
