Eviction

so I have a tenant that is 2 months behind in rent now I gave enough warnings and chances and they just keep lying. I spoke with my attorney for eviction. but my brother who use to work debt and bill collection told me if this tenant is on social security and works under the table at a job I can't garnish his wages because disability and social security are protected which I find ridiculous since he has been living for free guess these deadbeats know the system so well to get away with things. My question is anyone with experience with this I would like him out most of all but I would like the money owed as we have a lease. Should I have my attorney file eviction and spend more money or should I myself file for small claims I don't want to waste time and money if nothing can be garnished of his. Thanks
