What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
After getting divorced, I owed my attorney $3k of the total $27k bill. I irresponsibly let this final $3k drag out and did not communicate with the attorney. He filed a motion for garnishment and a legal hold for just under $2k was placed on my bank account. Once I saw the hold, I called up the attorney and paid the debt. The hold was placed on June 10, I paid him on June 25.
Since the conversation I had with him on June 25 and retirement of the debt via credit card, he has completely ignored any communication with me and has not taken steps to remove the hold.
My question that I'm having trouble finding the answer to is this - is there a deadline for him to remove the hold by after receiving payment? If not , can anybody offer advice regarding how I can go about clearing this up myself? Thanks for reading and hopefully offering advice!
