The plaintiff in a writ of attachment case may obtain a lien on money or property owed the defendant in a cause of action. The court may restrain the transfer of the property or order it held by the court or the levying officer. If the property is transferred, the court may render judgment against the transferring third party. The defendant may file a claim of exemption with the court.
