Have you ever wondered how to stop that Wage Garnishment?

Stop Wage Garnishment Utah


If you live in Utah and you've got some creditor coming after you hardcore, you need to stop the wage garnishment right now.

How do you do that?

Watch this video:


Okay, now that you've watched it you understand your options right?

I know that if you are a victim of a wage garnishment, you must feel horrible and like there is nothing that you can do.  But there is hope -- believe it or not, there is something you can do to put the kibosh  on wage garnishments.

First, you can attack the wage garnishment and stop it by showing the court that the creditor messed up or didn't do something they were supposed to do.  Or perhaps they are going after the wrong person!  This isn't your debt!  They've got the wrong one - the creditor screwed up.  Tell the court.  Perhaps your wages are exempt under Utah law.  If you have time, go through each and every Utah exemption in the Utah Code and see if one applies to you and your situation.  You can also meet with an attorney who does debt relief like us and we can advise you about your rights and exemptions under the law.

Second, you can stop the wage garnishment by filing a bankruptcy case.  Under bankruptcy law, once you file a chapter 7 case, or chapter 13 or chapter 11 case, an automatic stay goes into effect.  The automatic stay prohibits creditors from collecting anything from you.  Yes, you got that right - they can't do a garnishment so you can stop the wage garnishment right away.

If you've gotten to this point, you are probably very interested and maybe very motivated to stop a wage garnishment in the State of Utah.  Since this is the case, you should call me today for your free consultation 801-676-7308.  I will show you exactly and in detail how to stop wage garnishments in Utah now.

Expungement Utah - Does a crime automatically fall off of my record when I'm done with probation?

You should watch this video as I answer the question:

If I finish my probation and my criminal case is closed does my charge fall of my record at some point?

Watch and see:



Okay, now you know that the answer is - no.  It doesn't just fall off your record.

You have to go through several different steps in order to remove a criminal case from your criminal record in the State of Utah. 

To get a Utah expungement you have to wait a certain amount of time if it was a class c misdemeanor, then you have to wait 3 years.  Now, the waiting period on all of the expungements if the time from the date that you were convicted or release from incarceration, from probation, or from parole, whichever of these events was the last thing that happened.  That is when the time period starts to run. 

For a class B misdemeanor in Utah, an expungement takes 4 years.  It is 5 years for a expungement in Utah for a class A misdemeanor.  For a felony, you have to wait 7 years for a Utah expungement.  I know, it’s crazy isn’t it.

To start the process off, you should speak with a really good lawyer.  Give us a call 801-676-7308 and speak with us.  We’d love to assist you in your expungement in Utah.

Also, keep in mind that this is not automatic.  You have to get a eligibility certification from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification or BCI.  You have to file a petition for expungement in the Utah court where the case was filed.  You have to serve the petition and certificate on the city prosecutor or district attorney or attorney general – whichever prosecuted you.  You also might need to have a hearing in front of a judge.  The court may even get the AP&P – adult probation and parole services involved to give a response.

If approved by the judge, then you need to get certified copies of the order of expungement and you have to serve them on each and every agency that has a record of it.  You have to do this otherwise they won’t seal or destroy the records.  Once the court destroys the records, you’ll never be able to get other certified copies because the case will literally not exist anymore.  I hope this information is helpful.

If you have been convicted of a federal crime, the only way to get that removed is by a presidential pardon.  We do those applications – they are time consuming and expensive.

If you are looking for a top rated expungement attorney in Utah, you’ve come to the right place.
