About William

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.

Review William Maddox

Highly Recommended

Posted by

Although we were in the worst of circumstances, he made this the best experience I have ever had with an attorney and court case. He was so helpful in keeping me calm and that’s not an easy task. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in our situation.

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.
