Yes. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings will stop garnishments (unless the garnishment is related to child support obligations).
The first step is to file your bankruptcy petition. The second step is to notify your employer and opposing counsel of the filing, which gives them notice required under Federal Bankrutpcy law.
We can not predict how long it will take for a garnishment to stop. It can be as quickly as your next check, or as long as a few months. The reason for the delay is because we are relying on other people to feel the urgency to restore your full paycheck.
The lesson here is -- meet with a bankruptcy attorney before your check is garnished, and formulate a plan to get your petition filed as quick as possible to protect you from your creditors.
