Client Review

When I first contacted Adam Schachter, I was scared and not sure what to do about my situation. He immediately helped calm me down and realize that I did have options. Adam, Ryan and Jessica treated me as if I was their only client, returning phone calls and emails promptly. I'm happy to say that m...y bankruptcy case was settled in just 6 short months. I still can't believe it happened so quickly. Adam was there for me whenever I had questions or just needed reasurrance. There are no words to explain how thankful I am for Adam and his team. They have given me a new financial beginning!

Trustful and knowledgeable law firm!

My husband and I recently closed our bankruptcy case, Mr. Schachter and his colleague Ryan were very successful and helpful during our bankruptcy process. We both first came in with much anxiety and trepidation but Adam and his team helped calm our worries and solve our bankruptcy case. I definitel...y recommend his firm to anyone in a bankruptcy situation as I know he will get the job done in a most timely, effiecient and trustful manner. Thank you to the Schachter team!

Adam and his team did a great job

When we contacted the Schachter Law Firm, there seemed to be no hope for our situation. Adam and his team spent a lot of time with us explaining, instructing, reassuring and answering our many questions. It was a long process, but we were rewarded with a very successful outcome. We highly recommen...d the Schachter Law Firm for their professionalism, their 16+ years of experience and their positive approach which got results!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer's work. There are many Houston lawyers who practice in the area of Bankruptcy/Debt. What sets Adam Schachter apart from his colleagues is a superior work ethic combined with excellent communication skills. Mr. Schachter can explain the complexities of bankruptcy to almost anyone. I have consulted with some of Mr. Schachter's clients in my own line of work, and I have been impressed that they have retained almost everything that Mr. Schachter has explained to them. I sure hope I never need to file bankruptcy, but if I do, I wouldn't call anyone other than Mr. Schachter."

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Nov 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Adam Schachter is among the most CAPABLE bankruptcy lawyers I know, and one of the most CARING and METICULOUS lawyers I've ever met. He regularly represents people who have fallen on hard times. Adam is practical and realistic, but he will help you find whatever light is at the end of the particular tunnel that YOU have found yourself in. Adam strikes just the right balance between, on the one hand, showing respect and compassion for his clients' problems, and on the other hand, giving clear-eyed, unsentimental advice that doesn't sugar-coat bad news. He's efficient and cost-effective for his clients -- he doesn't rush, but neither does he waste time (at your expense!) -- and he does not run an "assembly-line practice." Instead, he focuses on every client individually, to get each of them a custom-tailored result. Adam has the respect of the local bankruptcy bar and bench. All of his clients benefit from his credibility in court. I recommend him enthusiastically without any hesitation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
