Get professional service of process for Writs of Garnishment and related court documents.
A Writ of Garnishment is a specialized court order used by a creditor to legally seize money, wages, or property belonging to a debtor. Unlike general lawsuits, this writ is not directed at the debtor. Instead, it is directed at a third party who holds the debtor’s assets, known legally as the garnishee.

The Three Core Parties Involved
The Creditor is the individual or business entity owed money after winning a judgment.
The Debtor is the individual or business entity who owes the debt and faces asset seizure.
The Garnishee is the neutral third party holding the assets, usually a bank or an employer.
Common Targets of a Garnishment Writ
Financial Institutions are targeted to freeze and seize funds inside checking, savings, or investment accounts.
Employers are served to intercept a legally mandated percentage of the debtor's disposable wages.
Accounts Receivable are intercepted to divert vendor payments owed to a debtor business directly to the creditor.
The Process Service Requirement
Serving a Writ of Garnishment and other court documents may involve statutory deadlines and procedural requirements. Failure to comply with applicable requirements may affect the garnishment proceeding.
Step 1: Formal Process Service on the Garnishee
Service must be physically executed by a licensed or court appointed private process server.
The Process Server physically hands the writ to the garnishee's registered agent, corporate officer, or human resources manager.
Service on a garnishee may trigger legal obligations concerning assets and a response to the court, depending on the governing law and court requirements.
Step 2: Mandatory Statutory Notice to the Debtor
Once the garnishee is served, the creditor has a tight window, often three to five business days, to notify the debtor.
The creditor typically sends this notice via first class or certified mail to the debtor’s last known address.
The debtor must receive a copy of the writ and a Claim of Exemption Form to argue that certain funds are legally exempt from seizure.
