Garnishment Resources
ALL PARTIES TO A GARNISHMENT ARE STRONGLY URGED TO OBTAIN LEGAL ADVICE FROM AN ATTORNEY. Garnishment procedures are governed by Arizona law and are extremely complicated. All parties involved must follow these procedures correctly. The court may issue an order for monetary penalties against any party who does not proceed properly, including the judgment creditor.
