An attachment restricts a bank account, salary, vehicle or property to secure payment of a debt. The law protects some funds and assets, and there are ways to ask for an attachment to be removed or reduced.

When should you contact a lawyer?

• Your account or salary has been attached.
• A vehicle or property has been attached.
• Funds protected by law, such as benefits, were attached.
• You're a creditor and want to attach the debtor's assets.
