Judgement
Date: Fri, 08/07/2009 - 12:22
I haven't gone to court yet, but want to prepare myself...I reached out for an attorney who stated she could represent me for $1500 or $500 a month, but I'm worried if I lose...I'll be paying $500 a month to her PLUS the amount I have to pay for my judgement.
I'm being sued for 9999.99, I make about 1800 a month...how much would a judge make me pay a month normally, what percentage of my paycheck?

The most they can do if you lose is garnish your paycheck. The
The most they can do if you lose is garnish your paycheck. The normal amount is up to 25% of your disposable income, which the judge can reduce to 15%. They use a statutory formula to determine what the amount is. I would be very careful about the lawyer. They may be looking at a fee and not caring if they win or lose the case. I am very cynical of lawyers however. I have never had a real good experience with one.
