Is there any way to get money back that was taken via bank garnishment on a settlement that the payments were current on?

My husband found out 2 years agothat a judgement was levied against him from an eviction eleven years ago. Since he was made aware of the judgement he has been making monthly payments to settle the debt. His payments are current and we have copies of every cancelled check. We just found out today that the law office that is handling the debt garnished $2,300 from our bank account. We close on the purchase of our home next week and that money was for our down payment. We can prove that he has never made a single late payment. There was no reason for the law office to put a bank levy on our account.
