More details to this question:
I was in court on Monday with the defendant, because I froze his bank account to collect a judgment, and defendant filed a claim of exeption. While at the hearing the defendant showed up, but his attorney did not and the judge refused to hear the case without counsel present, so she noted claim of exemption hearing held & continued deft was present without attorney GARNISHMENT REMAINS. My ? is can I go ahead and have the bank release the funds to me since Judge stated garniushment remains, or do I have to wait to see if the attorney responds if so, how long does the attorney have to respond to a new hearing date.

Wouldn't bother, as if the debtor does have exemption, you will have to return all the money anyways. You'll just have to wait and attend the rescheduled hearing.
