Wage Garnishment Defense

A chunk of every paycheck, gone before you see it. Let's get your full pay back.

When the IRS takes your wages

A wage levy — what most people call garnishment — orders your employer to send part of every paycheck straight to the IRS. Unlike a one-time bank levy, this one repeats every payday until the debt is resolved or the levy is released. Rent doesn't care about your tax debt.

This is fixable. Levies get released when the underlying situation is addressed — a payment plan, an offer, or a financial hardship showing you can't afford the hit. We move fast because your next payday is already coming.

Every engagement starts with a $150 consultation (credited toward your engagement) and one flat upfront quote — no hourly meter, no surprise bills. Garnishment defense engagements typically run $2,500–$4,000 is the typical range for this work; your exact number comes from the consultation. Emergencies are prioritized same-day.

Common questions

How much of my paycheck can they take?

It varies with your filing status, pay frequency, and dependents — the IRS leaves a calculated exempt amount. A CPA can tell you exactly what your number should be.

Will my employer know about my tax problems?

Your payroll department will see the levy order itself — there's no way around that. What we prevent is ongoing drama: one clean resolution, handled professionally.

Can I just quit my job to stop it?

Please don't — the debt follows you, penalties keep growing, and the IRS has other collection tools. Fix the problem instead.

How fast can a levy be released?

It depends on the situation — sometimes quickly when the right resolution is in place. Speed is exactly why you want someone who does this every day.
