Our Success See what our client say

"I recently had a case with Ciment law firm, and the stress they alleviated for me has done wonders. My case was dismissed. I had minimal contact with them, which shows I could trust them to work on the job. Rest assured, they reached out to me when was needed, and I definitely received a response when I asked for the status of the case to follow up on other details. I was given all the contact information immediately and any changes to that information if that occurred. I researched for the right fit, and this firm came on the top of the search list. I called a representative for a consultation, which was free by the way we talked for a while, and they answered every question that I had and more. The fee for representation and this law firm having my back was is worth it, especially against dishonest debt collectors. They went to bat for me, and my case was dismissed saved me over 3000+ and a mountain of stress. Thanks again."

Byron F

"Daniel is a superior attorney. From our first meeting through all communications to the end of the process, he was extremely professional. He never hesitated to explain the process and what was happening. He never once talked down to me or over my head. He explained everything at a level appropriate for a non-legal professional. With the exception of the initial meeting, everything was handled either electronically or via phone calls. This prevented me from having to travel 1.5 hours to see him. He was able to handle 2 cases for our family within a matter of months. One case was resolved within days of meeting him. I would highly recommend."

Protected Funds

Protected Funds

Creditors can seize most but not all funds from bank accounts. Some are protected from seizure, even when the court issues a writ of garnishment. If your bank account contains unemployment wages, retirement funds, or proceeds from an insurance policy, you can still access that money. You can also access at least two months of social security income if applicable.



Protected Funds

What Funds Are Protected Against Bank Garnishments In Texas?

Most bank account funds can be legally garnished in Texas. There are some exceptions to the rule, though. Creditors typically cannot garnish retirement funds and insurance proceeds. If you’re on unemployment, those funds are protected against garnishment. Also, if you are on social security, you must have access to at least two months of the funds. Your bank should automatically protect those funds if they are direct deposited. However, if you do not use direct deposit, you might have to get legal help to prevent your social security income from being garnished.
