It depends on the state... Probably. * Four US states do not allow garnishment if there is another option for the judgment holder to collect monies owed (bank account levy, seizure and liquidation of non exempt property, lien against real property). Those states are North and South Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania. In all other US states a judgment holder can garnish wages. It would be quite simple for an attorney as they already have the necessary information to execute the judgment as a wage garnishment.
