Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start for Consumers

For individuals facing significant unsecured debt with limited income, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often the most direct route to financial recovery. Often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, this option allows eligible filers to wipe out qualifying unsecured debts, including medical bills, personal loans, and credit card balances. Attorney Troy Blackwell helps clients assess their eligibility through the Texas means test and ensures that all eligible exemptions are claimed to protect your personal property, such as your home and vehicle. To find a bankruptcy attorney who can successfully guide you through this complex federal process, Blackwell Law Firm LLP is ready to offer aggressive and compassionate representation.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Reorganization and Foreclosure Defense

If you have a steady income but are struggling to keep up with monthly bills, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the ideal option. This path allows you to consolidate your debts into a manageable three- to five-year repayment plan overseen by a trustee. One of the greatest benefits of Chapter 13 is its power to immediately stop home foreclosure and vehicle repossessions, allowing you to catch up on missed payments over time. Blackwell Law Firm LLP specializes in helping Amarillo residents draft realistic, court-approved Chapter 13 repayment plans. We also assist clients in using bankruptcy to stop IRS garnishments, restructure unsecured debt, and protect vital family assets.
