Wage Garnishment

Orlando Wage Garnishment Attorney Carmelina Marin 

Representing Clients Throughout Central Florida

The current state of the economy has left more people in debt and owing money to a variety of businesses. One way that creditors will seek repayment of debts is to garnish your wages. That is, they will move to automatically take money from your paycheck in order to receive the payment they are owed. Once a garnishment has been ordered, you may be left with few options for dealing with the situation.

At The Marin Law Firm, P.A., in Orlando, Florida, I have extensive experience handling all types of debt cases, including wage garnishment. I work closely with each and every client in order to better understand his or her situation and needs. I understand the stress that a wage garnishment can cause. I pride myself on my knowledge of garnishment issues and processes, allowing me to thoroughly advise you of your rights and options.

Take Preventative Action Immediately

A garnishment does not just happen overnight. An individual who owes money on a car loan, credit card debt or other debts is first notified that he or she is being sued by a creditor or multiple creditors. If you do not do anything about the lawsuit and ignore the notice, a default judgment will be entered against you. This allows the creditor to have your wages garnished in order to gain payment on the debt.

• If you have received a notice that a lawsuit is being filed against you, take action immediately to prevent a default judgment and garnishment from being ordered.

Address the Garnishment

A wage garnishment may result in people feeling embarrassed, as employers are informed of the garnishment in order for the wages to be taken. However, it is important that you address the garnishment and take steps to discovering if something can be done to stop the garnishment. I can help you regain control of the situation and stop the garnishment whenever possible.

Fair Debt Collection

In Florida, debtors have extensive rights and creditors must abide by set laws when seeking payment. If you believe that your rights have been violated by a creditor, such as more than the allowed percentage of your paycheck being taken, I can assist you in seeing that the creditors are cited for their violations and stop their illegal collection activities.
