Resolve with confidence
DFWBankruptcyAttorney's Fresh Start Can Be Your Resolution
Life is worth improving. If you have out of control or unresolved debt and don't know where to turn, use the legal system created just for that.
Chapter 7 Information
- Most Chapter 7 cases in DFW finish in a few months when organized well.
- Far more households may qualify than actually file. DFWBankruptcyAttorney's goal is to help people get the financial reset that they might not know is the most viable option for them.
- Using the process early can reduce stress from lawsuits and collections.
Bankruptcy isn’t only for “rock bottom.” It’s for people who can’t afford the debt they’ve taken on—whether from a business venture, income shift, or other change. Choosing relief to stop collections before it snowballs is financially responsible and not something to be ashamed of.

How we help
Chapter 7 done with confidence
Fast responses, transparent steps, and filing discipline keep your Dallas–Fort Worth Chapter 7 on track.
Means test coaching
We map your Dallas–Fort Worth income, household size, and expenses against current Texas median figures and document every input for the trustee.
Why the means test matters
The means test is the gatekeeper for Chapter 7. Passing it clears the path to discharge; missing details can slow or derail your case. We map income, deductions, and household factors to keep your filing on track.
Eligibility clarity
The test compares your household income and allowed expenses to state medians. Getting it right avoids delays and keeps trustees confident in your filing.
Protect your discharge
Solid documentation of pay, deductions, and household size supports your petition and reduces challenges that can jeopardize a discharge.
Plan your timing
Knowing when you pass the means test helps you choose the best filing window—especially after income changes, business shifts, or one-time events.
Automatic stay readiness
Collection lawsuits, garnishment threats, and repossession attempts are cataloged so your stay notice reaches the right parties fast. A stay notice is the formal alert that tells courts, creditors, and payroll to stop collection actions once you file so your income isn’t disrupted while your case proceeds.
Why stay readiness matters
The automatic stay is the shield for your case. Prioritizing notices and proof keeps lawsuits, garnishments, and repossessions paused while your petition moves forward.
Urgent sequencing
We start with the riskiest creditors, courts, and payroll contacts so the stay reaches the right people first.
Protect pay and assets
Clear notice routing helps stop wage pulls and asset grabs, reducing post-filing surprises that can derail your relief.
What “notice” and “creditor” mean
A notice is the formal alert that you filed—sent to anyone trying to collect. A creditor is any person or company claiming you owe them money (like a lender, card issuer, or collector).
Track confirmations
We monitor stay receipt and follow-ups so gaps get closed quickly and your case stays on track.
Document support
Pay stubs, tax returns, IDs, and statements all route through a secure portal with reminders until your file is complete.

Clean uploads make trustee review smoother and help avoid last-minute delays or objections.
Clear checklist
We outline exactly which income, tax, and asset records you need so nothing is missed.
Faster filing
Early reminders and organized folders keep your petition on schedule and reduce stress before filing.

Everything is shared through encrypted uploads; no loose emails or untracked attachments.
