Garnishments require employers and banks to pay money over to you.   If you know where the debtor banks or works, a garnishment may be what you need to collect the money owed to you.

What's needed to garnish?  The judgment must be from a Washington Court and the employer or bank must be located in Washington.   If the judgment is from a different state, there is a procedure to transfer it to Washington.

Why doesn't he/she just pay me?  Statistics show that if you haven't been paid in 30 days, you will need to take further legal action to collect your money.

Should I act today?  Yes, the longer you wait, the greater chance your judgment will be wiped out completely in a bankruptcy.

How much will it cost?  Only $39 gets the process started.  Your costs of garnishment plus up to $250 of attorney fees will be added the judgment balance. 

Can you collect restitution?  Yes, restitution is treated the same as a judgment.

How do you determine your fees?  From start to finish, garnishments take  about 4 hours.  We charge less than  $82 per hour for these services, compared to our normal hourly rate of $200 per hour.  To make it simple for you, we charge  a flat rate of only $325 per garnishment.

Should I hire a local attorney?  Garnishments are done by mail.  There is no advantage to hiring an attorney in your hometown.

How do I get started?  Complete the steps listed on the garnishment page.    If you have questions,  you can reach us at 360-791-9002.   We are looking forward to hearing from you. You can also contact us at our e-mail address: attorney@washingtongarnishments.com.

Are you for real?  It's always good to be cautious over the internet.  That's why I've set my advance fee at only $39.  You can view my  attorney listing at the state bar association (www.wsba.org).
