Arlington Bankruptcy Attorney

Debt ends. Life goes on.

Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and foreclosure defense from an Arlington firm that has walked thousands of Texans to a genuine fresh start.

Trusted Arlington bankruptcy law firm

A small firm that is big on results

For more than 20 years, Machi Wright & Associates has helped regular folks in Arlington, Fort Worth, and all of DFW use Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy to deal with credit card balances, medical bills, lawsuits, and other crushing debt.

You work directly with an attorney who takes the time to understand your goals, explains the pros and cons of every option, and builds a strategy around your income, your property, and your life — not a one-size-fits-all file number.

What we do

Five ways out of crushing debt

  1. 01

    Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

    Wipe out qualifying unsecured debt — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — while Texas exemptions protect essential property.

    Fresh start
  2. 02

    Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

    A court-supervised repayment plan over three to five years that can catch up past-due mortgage payments or car notes in one structured plan.

    Catch up & keep it
  3. 03

    Home Foreclosure Defense

    Texas foreclosures move fast. We use every legal tool — including the automatic stay — to stop the sale and fight for your home.

    Credit Card Lawsuits

    Being sued by a credit card company is scary — and winnable defenses exist. We help stop collection lawsuits, negotiate settlements, and protect your wages and bank accounts.

Straight answers

Before you decide, ask us anything

Clear, honest guidance on how bankruptcy actually works in Arlington and the North Texas courts.

(817) 335-8880
01What types of bankruptcy cases do you handle?

We focus on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy for individuals and families, plus home foreclosure defense and SBA loan default matters. During your free consultation the attorney reviews income, assets, debts, and goals to explain which option fits your situation.

02Do I get to speak directly with an attorney?

Yes. At Machi Wright & Associates you have direct access to your attorney — not a call center or an assistant. Fewer cases means more time for yours.

03Can bankruptcy stop a foreclosure on my home?

Often, yes. Filing triggers the automatic stay, which halts most collection activity — including a pending foreclosure sale. Chapter 13 can then let you catch up past-due mortgage payments over a structured three-to-five-year plan. Timing matters, so call before the sale date.

04What areas do you serve?

Arlington, Fort Worth, Dallas, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Benbrook, Burleson, Richland Hills, Keller, and communities across North Texas.
