Excellent law firm.....user friendly

During a recent low point in our lives; Adam's firm helped, consoled, and steered us through the minefield of bankruptcy. We emerged on the other side down....but not beaten. His firm was helpful, understanding ,and professional. I would reccomend them to anyone who thinks there is no hope.... or is ...afraid of the unknowns in this life changing situation.

A satisfied client - Bankruptcy

Attorney Schachter handled my bankruptcy case for me. I was real nervous at first, but he put me at ease. I supplied everything he told me he needed and he did the rest. He kept me informed every step of the way. He is very knowledgable in this field of bankruptcy. I would gladly recommend him to fri...ends and strangers. He has integrity, which is rare these days. He really cares about his clients. I feel he will continue to be a 5 star attorney.

Hope to a new financial beginning

After reading Adam Schachter's introductory letter and giving him a call, my husband and I felt there was going to be help for us with our debt. Even though, we are not proud of having filed for bankruptcy and the feeling of shame and embarrasment tends to haunt on us, Adam and his staff were great. ...I do not remember any word from Adam judging our mistakes that brought us to file for bankruptcy. Instead, he offered us solutions, gave us legal advice, and the most important of all: Adam helped us see that there was life after a bankruptcy. Soon it will be a year and half that my husband and I were discharged from our Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and we have followed Adam's advices, we are able to sleep at night not worrying about our past debt. We learned our lesson and have been able to stay away from financial difficulties. Thanks Adam for your help.

Excellent Lawyer

Adams is a special friend! A friend is a person that help you on your troubles. Specially, Financial problems that I gain through the years helping my parents. He is a humble person which help me in going through financial difficulties times. He knows how to help me. Clear understanding of my solut...ion to my problem and how I can leave my worries and stress in the past. Start a new life with my Wife married prior requesting Adams help. Make me feel that Monetory value is in second place. Helping People are the first important for a good lawyer

Client Review

Adam walked me through the entire bankruptcy process leaving no stone unturned and no question unanswered. If there was an area of uncertainty (very little) he found the answer. He always made himself available, returned calls promptly and worked around my schedule. Due to circumstances beyond m...y control it became necessary for me to convert to Chapter 7. Again I relied on Adam to get me through this difficult time. He genuinely cares about the well being of his clients and understands the stress we experience. If I ever need an attorney again Adam would be the first one I'd call. Even if not in his area of expertise I have all of the faith in the world in him to lead me in the right direction.

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."

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.
