Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

Question about Wage Garnishment

I live in Maryland and recently was sued and the Plaintiff rec'd a Judgment. I work in Washington, DC. I've just rec'd notification that they are garnishing my wages. Can they garnish my wages if the judgment is in Maryland and I work in DC?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

ps. If I file a Claim of Exemption and lose, do I have to pay the Plaintiff's attorney's fees?

Re: Question about Wage Garnishment

Your wages can be garnished wherever you work. Limits apply with garnishment. Whenever you take action in court you may subject yourself to assignment of costs.
