A: The exemption hearing is for the purpose of having you testify under oath as to the circumstances regarding your exemption claim. You would be asked, for example, who you support and how much of their support is paid by you. If you WANT to talk to the lawyer over the phone you can. If so, the judgment creditor and you might agree to waive the hearing.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: One of the great benefits of hiring a lawyer is to stop the other side's lawyer from calling you.
