I'm not sure what is happening here... If you are asking, can two garnishments occur concurrently, the answer is generally yes.

A summons is normally a procedural requirement that you must appear for court as a party or witness. It sounds like a process server (private) was sent to serve you. The process server will come by at least 2 more times. You can try calling your local courthouse to see if there is a case filed... View More
Defendant went to once a week on 1st garnishment (so he wouldn't get garnished), and got a second job. Is the 1st garnishment good enough or do I need to go thru court for the second employer?

You will need to service notice to the second employer of the garnishment and file with the court (assuming you want to be a judgment creditor). You will not need to re-litigate the facts of the case. You may need to get a court order depending on whether the debtor objects to the garnishment. The... View More

I would recommend that you contact a general practice attorney. Any attorney can handle this type of work, but some specialists may not because they limit the scope of law they cover.
