A wage garnishment is a situation where a court issues an order requiring your employers to withhold a certain amount of your paycheck and send it directly to the person or institution to which you owe money until your debt is cleared.
Wage garnishment is something that can happen to anyone. You may not even know your wages are being garnished. If you want to know if yours are being garnished, learn how to review your paystub. You must be notified if your wages are being garnished.
By law, garnishers need to send you a notice letting you know the amount is being taken from your paychecks, what it is for, why, and any other relevant information. This will provide you with more insight into the garnishment that is coming from your pay. Contact the Law Offices of Scott R. Schneider if it comes time to stop wage garnishment for owing child support, student loans, back taxes, or payments on a court judgement.
Do I Need To Hire A Lawyer For My Bankruptcy Case?
It is important to note that the law does not compel individuals to have a lawyer to represent them in a bankruptcy case. However, considering the complicated nature of these cases, individuals cannot afford to make mistakes that will ruin the entire process.
To avoid these mistakes, which may seem simple and negligible at first, hiring an attorney is essential. In essence, an individual filing for bankruptcy is better off working with an attorney than choosing to approach the complicated legal process alone.

How to Hire a Bankruptcy Lawyer
1. Seek Personal Referrals
If you have friends, family, or colleagues who have gone through a similar financial difficulty and filed for bankruptcy, reaching out for a personal referral can save you a lot of time and resources. In addition to this, you may speak to your lawyer for recommendations. If you do not have a personal lawyer, you may contact a friend or family member and ask for recommendations.
2. Lawyer-Referral Panels
Most state bar associations have a list of lawyers, with additional sections grouping lawyers by their respective practice areas. This list of lawyers provides you with all of the possible bankruptcy lawyers that you can work with to get your debt issue sorted.
3. Group Legal Plans
If you have a legal plan that offers low-cost or free legal assistance, it may be a good decision to clarify if such a plan covers bankruptcies. If your plan does not cover attorneys that handle bankruptcy, they may still be able to refer you to an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy filings.
