I am William E. Maddox Jr., L.L.C., Attorney at Law. For more than 20 years I have been helping people throughout the state prevent foreclosure, stop wage garnishments and eliminate their debts.
Clients turn to me when they want big law firm experience with the personal attention and client service that only a boutique law firm can provide. After spending more than a decade working for a large bankruptcy firm, I left to start my own practice centered on client service. My clients aren't handed off to younger, less-experienced lawyers or paralegals. Instead, clients get me — a state-certified bankruptcy specialist — to personally oversee every aspect of their cases.
Practice areas
One of only four state-certified bankruptcy specialists in Knox County, filing Ch7, Ch13, & Ch11. I develop plans to stop harassing creditors, reduce and reorganize debts, stop wage garnishments, repossessions, and foreclosures.
24 years
Well-executed estate plans provide support for your family and ensure your final wishes regarding end-of-life health care and support are heard, reduce the length of probate, & save family time and money. Power of Attorney, Wills & Living Wills.
24 years
I help clients form smart solid business structures & contracts providing the most beneficial tax treatment, while shielding partners and owners' personal assets. I also draft solid operating agreements reducing the possibility of future litigation.

I endorse this lawyer. Bill is an amazing bankruptcy attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and, in fact, is an attorney other attorneys go to with bankruptcy questions.
