About Rachel
Rachel Coxwell represents clients in Mississippi state and federal courts, handling consumer bankruptcy and related matters in the Southern District and the 5th Circuit. She manages cases that move from local filings to federal hearings and appeals. Her practice combines courtroom work, client counseling and litigation strategy.
She earned her undergraduate degree from Mississippi State University before returning to campus for law school at Mississippi College School of Law, where she completed her J.D. Those academic years laid the groundwork for courtroom procedure, debtor-creditor law and the practical skills required to run a small litigation practice.
After law school, Coxwell built a practice in Mississippi and opened Coxwell Lawyers, PLLC. The firm serves individuals who encounter financial distress, focusing on bankruptcy filings and adversary proceedings. She appears in state courts across Mississippi and is admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Those admissions allow her to handle matters that progress beyond the bankruptcy court record.
Her work often involves chapter 7 and chapter 13 filings, motions in bankruptcy court and representation in related civil matters. She also handles disputes that arise during bankruptcy cases, including contested claims and relief-from-stay actions. In federal court she has managed appeals and procedural matters that require familiarity with both bankruptcy and federal rules.
Coxwell maintains memberships in professional organizations that serve consumer bankruptcy attorneys and consumer advocates. She is a current member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers and the National Associates of Consumer Advocates. She also holds membership in the Mississippi State Bar. Those affiliations provide access to continuing education, collegial review of developments in consumer law and resources that inform litigation choices.
Clients and colleagues describe her practice as practical and procedural. She tends to emphasize clear explanations and steady case management. That approach informs how she prepares filings, approaches hearings and communicates options to clients facing financial decisions. She currently practices consumer bankruptcy and related federal matters at Coxwell Lawyers, PLLC.
