Other than an Objection to Write of Garnishment or a Motion to Quash/Dissolve Writ of Garnishment there really is no way to do anything else. The reason is that there is no procedure.

Once a final judgment was obtained the only way to do anything "final" is to either pay the judgment itself or somehow get the judgment declared invalid and that is almost impossible to do.

I'm sure you're aware but just in case the code that cover this can be found at http://law.justia.com/codes/florida/2005/TitleVI/ch0077.html

There is a form to use to claim your exemptions, I'm sure it is very similar to what you have already filed since it is almost teh same as the one in the rules, at http://www.pinellasclerk.org/aspInclude2/SmClaimsPdfs/CTCIV228.pdf

The lawyer may have put himself into a but of a bind as well. The rules prevent him from being a witness in a case where he is the lawyer. Rule 4-3., which can be found at http://www.law.cornell.edu/ethics/fl/code/FL_CODE.HTM
clearly states that a lawyer can't be a witness yet that is exactly what the lawyer is doing by signing an affidavit as to questions of fact. You can use that as 1) a reason to strike the affidavit, although it is doubtful the judge will strike it, 2) a reason to disqualify the lawyer from being the lawyer in the case, or 3) the grounds for a complaint to the State Bar against him.

We work for Positive Ratings, please click on one of the top three ratings or one of the Smile Faces, as this would be appreciated. We have recently implemented a new rating and feedback system. Please be aware that you are rating my courtesy and service as a professional, and not necessarily whether you like the information that you are receiving. Please bear in mind I can’t control what the law is and whether it helps you, I can only tell you what it says, and I assume you want truthful information.

PLEASE DO NOT use the rating system to ask for more information or in an attempt to tell the website that you didn’t like the substance of the answer as it gives a NEGATIVE rating to me personally if your rating is one of the lower two.

I believe in giving information that is to the point, but please remember that I can only base our answers on the information you provide and sometimes a misunderstanding as to what you are looking for or already know occurs so feel free to ask additional questions or for clarifications. Be very careful about looking at other internet sites that just post generic information without any inquiry into your facts because often those answers are dated, wrong, or wrong as applied to your facts. Please be aware that my answer is not legal advice, it is merely information. You should always contact a local attorney for legal advice.
