Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
In the state of Penna, if I am sued by a corporation in a civil case and they win a judgment against me, can they seize or garnish my wages from my job? I appreciate any information.

There is no wage garnishment in Pennsylvania except for child support, taxes or debts owed to a landlord for past due rent. Creditors can levy against other property that you own - there is no exemption for a homestead or a car. And they can levuy on your bank account if you have a balance greater than $300. As with anything, there may be an exception.
Please feel free to contact me regarding your situation.
