We Defend You Against
City Marshal Bruce Kemp

Most likely, you've received a "NOTICE OF GARNISHMENT" giving you 20 days to pay the judgment voluntary before Marshal Moses serves the attached "INCOME EXECUTION" directly on your employer.

An "income execution" is basically the legal document that starts the "wage garnishment." Your receipt of the NOTICE OF GARNISHMENT directs you to pay 10% of any and all salary, wages, or other income. A failure to do so will result on the Income Execution being served directly on your employer who will then forward to the marshal 10% of your paycheck before you get paid.

Ways to stop the garnishment:

• Obtain a court order or stipulation vacating the court judgment (what we do).
• Pay off the judgment directly with the Marshal.
• Enter into an agreement with the plaintiff's attorneys to pay the judgment and/or hold the judgment in abeyance (suspension) while you pay off the judgment.
