Wage Garnishment Relief and Protection
Can a creditor take part of your paycheck?
If you’re up against wage garnishment, don’t wait — let McMinn Law Group PLLC step in. We have substantial experience helping Virginia residents halt wage garnishment and regain control of their income. As a trusted law firm specializing in wage-garnishment defense, we’ll assess your financial situation and clearly explain your legal options in language you understand.
An unpaid credit card bill or other debt might not seem urgent now — but left unresolved, it could lead to a judgment and allow a creditor to garnish your wages.
When your employer receives a court order, a portion of your paycheck is directed to be sent to the Court so that it is turned over to the creditor at a later date. That reduction in income can make it harder to keep up with living expenses. If your wages or already being garnished, there are many instances in which we can get the wages back for you if done in a timely matter. Speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible if your wages or being garnished.
Key Facts About Wage Garnishment
How to Stop Wage Garnishment in Virginia
If your wages are being garnished, timing matters. McMinn Law Group PLLC offers tailored legal guidance to help protect your money and explore the best options for you.
Will Bankruptcy Stop Wage Garnishment?
Yes — filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that typically halts wage garnishment right away.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Filing under Chapter 7 can stop most wage garnishments and may wipe out many qualifying debts. Some obligations (like child support or alimony) may not be dischargeable, but for many Virginia residents, Chapter 7 offers a clean slate.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
If Chapter 7 isn’t a good fit, Chapter 13 may be the answer. It stops wage garnishment and sets up a manageable repayment plan over three to five years. During that time you make payments you can afford, often reducing the overall debt while protecting your income.
