Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Nevada

Getting money back after garnishment requires both the proper timing and prompt action. When a garnishment takes place, law enforcement holds onto the cash for no more than 10 days, then distributes it to the creditor. If you filed bankruptcy within the 10 day window while law enforcement still had the money, AND if you notified law enforcement of the bankruptcy before they distributed it to the creditor, you might be able to get the last garnishment money back. However, if the creditor has the cash, you are unlikely to get it back and any efforts in bankruptcy court to recovery the money probably will not be successful. The cost of the legal fee to proceed usually substantially exceeds the amount of money at stake, and most creditors understand that you are not in a position to pursue this matter.
