Practice Areas
read moreI would recommend this law firm to my family and friends. Marc and Alma have done a fantastic job making me feel at ease thru this whole process. Both have taken the time to go over all the aspects of my case and answered all my questions. They took a tremendously stressful time in my life and made this a simple and easy process. I am so thankful for both of their assistance. Candace Brooks took care of our situation from start to finish and eased the stress of our situation. Her communications were endless and when we went to a hearing, she was the only attorney there that was prepared.
Garnishments & Liens
read moreWage Garnishment occurs once a Creditor files a lawsuit against you and obtains a judgment. This occurs when you are unable to pay your bills and debts such as credit card bills, personal loans, etc. Once the creditor obtains a judgment, the creditor will request an order to attach your wages and bank accounts. Generally, your employer is required to give you 10 days notice before they will start deducting the required amount which is generally 25% of your disposable income. This allows time to stop to file a bankruptcy a "STOP" the garnishment.
Creditor Calls
read moreThe known record for the number of creditor calls from one creditor, in one day, to one of our clients, is 15 calls-that is more than one per hour. In most cases of consumer bankruptcies, the calls must take place during reasonable hours generally defined as 8am to 6pm. Unfortunately, the established boundaries for reasonable calling times are frequently exceeded because these calls made by unreasonable and overaggressive people-or agencies. The experience of the clients of Brooks & Carpenter has been that once you have retained an attorney, the calls will be directed to our office-we will confirm representation-and about 90-100% of the calls will stop.
