Short answer. No. Partnership creditors have priority over your personal creditors when it comes to partnership property. Your personal creditors may eventually go after your share of partnership assets, but the partnership's own debts must be satisfied first. The firm's creditors stand ahead of yours.
What the law says
The creditors of the partnership shall be preferred to those of each partner as regards the partnership property.

Partnership creditors come first on firm property
Article 1827 of the Civil Code establishes the priority: The creditors of the partnership shall be preferred to those of each partner as regards the partnership property. When a partnership has debts, those debts are charged against partnership property before any partner's personal creditors can touch it. The partnership is treated as a separate entity with its own asset pool, and the firm's obligations have first claim on that pool. A personal judgment against one partner does not entitle that partner's creditors to pick over partnership assets while the firm still owes money to its own creditors.
Personal creditors are not entirely shut out
The article does give your personal creditors a path — but a limited one. Without prejudice to this right, the private creditors of each partner may ask the attachment and public sale of the share of the latter in the partnership assets. What they can target is your share in the partnership, not the partnership property itself. Once the partnership's own debts are satisfied and your economic interest in the partnership is calculable, your personal creditors may pursue that interest. They cannot, however, compel the liquidation of partnership assets before the firm's creditors are paid.
Why the law protects partnership creditors first
The priority rule reflects the nature of a partnership as a collective enterprise. When a supplier, lender, or contractor extends credit to a partnership, they rely on the partnership's assets as security for repayment. Allowing a single partner's personal debts to drain those assets ahead of the firm's creditors would unfairly prejudice the people who dealt with the partnership as a business. The rule preserves the integrity of the firm's asset pool for those who transacted with the firm in that capacity.
What this means for you
If your personal creditors have obtained a judgment against you, they can ask a court to attach and sell your share of the partnership assets — but only what remains of your interest after the partnership's own debts are settled. If the partnership is operating and has not been dissolved, your personal creditors' reach is further limited. They generally cannot force dissolution of the partnership just to collect from your share; their remedy is typically to charge your distributable interest. The practical effect is that your creditors must wait in line behind the firm's creditors.
