25% of your check can be garnished at one time. Keep in mind that as soon as one judgment has been satisfied and that creditor stops garnishing, there are likely others in line that will start garnishing. If you need a referral to an aggressive and competent bankruptcy lawyer, please contact me. Thanks.
