I have been practicing bankruptcy for the majority of my legal career.  In 2016, I co-founded Gordon Lusky, LLP in Houston, Texas.  Throughout my practice, I have represented both debtors and creditors.  However, I primarily represent debtors and take satisfaction making a difference in my client's lives by relieving the stress related to their debt issues.. I am not a mass filer of bankruptcy cases.  I recognize the value of providing individual attention to each client and the specificities of their case.  By taking a limited number of cases, I am able to give each client the time and attention they deserve.  All of my clients deal directly with me, as opposed to paralegals or other staff.. If you have any questions regarding your situation and whether I can help, give me a call.  My initial consultations are free and there is no obligation to move forward.

Bankruptcy lawyer in Houston, TX.

"AV" Peer-Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell; named "Texas Super Lawyer" and "Rising Star" by Texas Monthly Magazine; named one of "Houston's Best Lawyers" by H-Texas Magazine. Board Certified, Business Bankruptcy Law, Texas Board of Legal Specialization; Member, College of the State Bar of Texas and "Barrister" of American Inns of Court.

Member of the American Law Institute.. I have compteted in several Houston marathons and one 70.3 Ironman Triathlon, as well as some smaller triathlons.  I spend most of my non-working time with my three young children, who can be as exhausting as any marathon.. When first I talk with a client, my goal is to keep them out of bankrutpcy.  Bankruptcy is truly the last option, and one that I do not recommend lightly.  If a client comes to talk to me sooner (when the financial situation is trending downward and when negative cash flow is just beginning), I can offer them more choices for restructuring their business and less expensive alternatives.  Sometimes people delaty visiting with a bankrutpcy lawyer until it is too late.  Do not let irrational fear guide your business decisions.  Use a level head.  Consult a bankruptcy or turnaround lawyer when you are looking for a turnaround.  You will lose little and stand to gain a great deal from a consultation with someone who has made it his life's work to turnaround struggling businesses and save struggling business owners.. I have represented creditors of all sizes, from massive insititutional lenders to small individual investors.  Generally, as a creditors' counsel, I bring my years of experience to bear in collecting the most money for the least cost.  The aphorism that "one cannot get blood from a turnip" does not require that the prudent creditor simply "write off" bankruptcy debts.  The debtor hopes that you will just go away, but a smart creditor knows his options.  The bankruptcy law provides for extensive scrutiny of the debtor's finances at a moderate cost.  A creditor armed with knowledgable counsel will use the bankruptcy court, the structure of trustees and committess, and the power of effective advocacy to get a useful return.  As the creditor's counsel, my rates are always reasonable, especialy given my expertise.  I charge the same rate for debtor or creditor work - a rate that is substantially lower than that charged by the massive super-firms.
