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...

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...

Adam Schachter and his team are professional, responsive, and trustworthy . They kept me informed and not once did I feel like a burden. The Schachter Law firm is simply the very best!
"I have worked with Adam Schachter for more than a decade. In that time I have been consistently impressed with his superior knowledge of the law as well as his absolutely unparalleled customer service. Adam is consistently available to his clients, returns phone calls promptly, and makes sure that his clients know what is happening every step of the way. If you are looking for a bankruptcy attorney, you will not find one better at bankruptcy nor more caring than Adam."
"I endorse Adam. He cares about his clients and works very diligently to get them the best possible outcome."
"Adam's specialty is customer service. He has a vast knowledge of consumer and bankruptcy law and always finds the time to listen to his clients. He has a knack for helping people to get through tough financial times while easing their stress level."
"I have known Adam for 8 years and I believe that he is an incredibly effective and passionate advocate for his clients. I could not recommend an attorney more highly."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Adam is a great attorney who cares deeply about his clients. I recommend him enthusiastically,"
"Adam is the only lawyer to whom I would ever refer a bankruptcy lawyer. Adam is a brilliant mind, an effective and creative lawyer, and one of the most compassionate souls I know. Adam cares deeply about his clients and strives to bring them through whatever financial difficulties they face."
"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."
"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."
