    Filing the petition will stop the garnishment but won't get you back the money that was taken before the date of filing the petition.

    He may be able to get back any garnishments taken during the 90 days prior to the date the bankruptcy was filed if certain criteria are met (one is the amount - iirc, the amount must be over $600 ).
