What's Your Situation? Here's What To Do.

My Vehicle Was Already Repossessed
You may still have rights around redemption or how the sale is conducted. An attorney can help you understand your options.
I'm Behind on Payments and Worried About Repossession
This is often the best time to explore options before repossession happens. A free consultation can help you get ahead of it.
My Wages Are Being Garnished
Garnishment amounts and processes are governed by specific rules, and some income may be protected. An attorney can review your situation.
I Received a Notice of Intent to Garnish
You may have a limited window to respond or object before garnishment begins. A free consultation can help you act in time.
I Believe the Repossession Wasn't Done Properly
Repossession must generally follow specific legal procedures. An attorney can review whether yours was handled correctly.
I Was Charged a Deficiency Balance After Repossession
These balances must generally be calculated correctly, and the sale process must be commercially reasonable. Get a free consultation to review this.
I Need to Understand What Income Is Protected
Certain income sources, like some benefits, are often protected from garnishment. A consultation can clarify what applies to you.
I'm Not Sure What My Options Are at This Point

Why Timing Matters
These Situations Move Quickly Once They Start
Redemption Windows Are Often Short
If a vehicle has already been repossessed, the right to redeem it is generally limited to a short window.
Garnishment Objection Deadlines Are Firm
Many states give only a short window to object to a garnishment before it takes effect.
Evidence of Improper Conduct Fades
If repossession wasn't handled properly, details are easier to document accurately the sooner you act.
Deficiency Balances Can Be Harder to Dispute Later
Challenging how a deficiency balance was calculated is generally easier before it's already been sent to collections.
Getting legal guidance early protects your options before they narrow further.

Repossession & Garnishment FAQ
Common Questions Answered Honestly
"Can I get my car back after repossession?"
Sometimes, through a right of redemption if you can pay what's owed, though this window is often short — check your specific state's rules.
"How much of my paycheck can be garnished?"
Federal law sets limits on the percentage that can be garnished, though state law and the type of debt can affect the specific amount.
"Can Social Security be garnished?"
It's generally protected from most creditors, though there are exceptions for certain debts like federal taxes or child support.
"How much does this kind of legal help cost?"
It varies by case — your attorney explains the likely scope and fee arrangement before work begins.
"What if the repossession company damaged my property?"
Repossession must generally be conducted without "breach of the peace" — improper conduct during repossession may support a separate claim.
"Can I stop a garnishment once it's started?"
Sometimes, through an objection, exemption claim, negotiated settlement, or in some cases bankruptcy — an attorney can review your options.
