At a Glance

Origin & Founder History

Reed Allmand grew up in Abilene, Texas, in financial hardship — after his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he and his sister took jobs to help support the family, and the household experienced a home loss and a vehicle repossession. He earned an accounting-adjacent path through Abilene Christian University (1997) before attending Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, graduating in 2000. In 2007 he helped build Allmand & Lee into one of the larger bankruptcy practices in Texas; when that partnership ended, he continued as Allmand Law Firm, PLLC, which today operates from Dallas, Hurst, and McKinney offices.

Practice Concentration

Allmand Law Firm is a high-volume consumer bankruptcy practice: Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 repayment plans for individuals and families, with a specific emphasis on foreclosure defense — the firm’s own materials describe Allmand as having “saved numerous homes from foreclosure” through timely Chapter 13 filings, which trigger an automatic stay against foreclosure proceedings. The firm offers virtual consultations and filing in both English and Spanish.

Track Record

The firm describes itself as “the largest bankruptcy filing firm in Texas” and states it has handled tens of thousands of bankruptcy cases over two decades. These are the firm’s own scale claims; Awesome Attorneys did not independently verify case-volume figures against court filing statistics. The firm’s Dallas Yelp listing shows 106 reviews, a substantial volume for a legal services provider.

Client Voice

Reviews attributed to hired clients describe Allmand as taking time to explain the bankruptcy process clearly; one reviewer specifically credited the firm with helping them “get my finances back on track.” Professional endorsements from fellow attorneys describe Allmand as a “go-to guy” for bankruptcy questions among peers, and multiple colleagues specifically praised his client-first approach to running the practice.

Beyond the Courtroom

Allmand was named Dallas Pro Bono Attorney of the Year in 2018, recognition tied to donated legal services rather than paid casework. He has been featured in national media coverage including Fox News, CBS News, and ABC affiliates discussing consumer bankruptcy topics, and is active in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

Recognition

Reed Allmand is independently verified as Board Certified in Consumer Bankruptcy Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a genuine, checkable credential appropriately described as such. No Business Bankruptcy Law certification was claimed or located, consistent with the firm’s consumer-focused practice.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Texas provides unusually generous property exemptions compared to many states — the homestead exemption has no dollar cap on an owner’s primary residence up to certain acreage limits, and personal property exemptions under Texas Property Code Chapter 42 allow filers to protect vehicles, tools of trade, and household goods up to specified values. Filing a Chapter 13 petition triggers an automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 that halts a pending foreclosure sale, though a filer behind more than 60 days on mortgage payments in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth) faces post-2016 procedural requirements to pay ongoing and arrearage amounts through the Chapter 13 Trustee. None of this is legal advice; a homeowner facing an imminent foreclosure date should consult counsel immediately given the narrow timeline involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Allmand’s genuine differentiator is scale paired with a documented board certification: a high-volume consumer bankruptcy practice that still maintains the TBLS Consumer Bankruptcy credential is not universal in this segment of the market, where volume-focused firms sometimes forgo the certification process. Allmand’s personal financial-hardship background, repeatedly referenced in his own materials, also appears to genuinely inform the firm’s foreclosure-defense focus.

The honest trade-off of any high-volume consumer practice is individualized attention — a filer whose case has unusual complexity (a disputed asset, a business ownership interest, prior bankruptcy filings) may get more hands-on partner attention at a smaller boutique firm than at a firm processing thousands of cases across three offices. For a standard Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filing, that trade-off is less likely to matter; for a complex case, it’s worth asking directly who specifically will handle the file.

Methodology & Sourcing

This profile was compiled from the firm’s own website (allmandlaw.com), Reed Allmand’s Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and LinkedIn profiles, State Bar of Texas licensing and certification records, and Yelp and BBB business listings. Case-volume and “largest in Texas” claims are the firm’s own marketing statements, attributed as such rather than independently verified.
