Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois
wage garnishement
Is there a way to get a garnishment amount reduced?
I have extenuating circumstances, being a plaintiff in
a 3-year civil suit with $30,000 balance to my attorney,
whom I pay $500 every time I get paid (I have a $13.00 per hour job). Would this be enough to get a judge to reduce garnished amount instead of going with percentage allowed by law?

It is usually the % allowed by law.
