Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Weber Law Firm, based in Houston, Texas, represents small businesses and consumers that need debt relief and desire to either completely eliminate debt and certain contract obligations, or reorganize their personal or business affairs by lowering debt payments. We also provide aggressive, cost effective representation of debtors (both consumer and business) and creditors in voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy cases filed in Houston or Galveston. The Weber Law Firm concentrates its practice to bankruptcy law, debtor-creditor rights and bankruptcy litigation.

William D. Weber, the firm's principal lawyer / attorney, is board certified in consumer bankruptcy law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He graduated in the top 6 percent of his law school class at the University of Houston Law Center and received his Texas law license in 1983. During his 28 years as a practicing lawyer / attorney, he has obtained a broad range of experience in small business and consumer bankruptcy, bankruptcy litigation and debt collection matters, and has concentrated on representing debtors (both business and consumer) and creditors in bankruptcy cases, and bankruptcy related litigation. He also has significant experience handling involuntary bankruptcy cases filed by creditors.

Mr. Weber especially enjoys handling Chapter 11, Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 reorganization cases, and bankruptcy litigation. Most lawyers do not like bankruptcy litigation and will refuse to litigate complex issues that arise in Bankruptcy Court, such as discharge contests, preferences, fraudulent conveyances, exemption contests, mortgage claims and stay violations. Although most bankruptcy professionals dislike litigation, Mr. Weber enjoys the challenge involved in handling contested bankruptcy litigation cases. We take referrals of bankruptcy litigation cases from local bankruptcy attorneys that do not like or have experience handling bankruptcy litigation.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

The Weber Law Firm provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Debtor Representation

• Chapter 7: Straight bankruptcy. Allows individuals to eliminate most unsecured debts, keep property and get a fresh start. Chapter 7 is commonly known as a "liquidation" proceeding, but this term is a misnomer since approximately 99 percent of all individuals keep all of their property in a Chapter 7 case.

• Chapter 11: Business reorganization for corporations, partnerships and individuals. Allows corporations and partnerships to reorganize by proposing a plan to eliminate or lower payments on debts and avoid unfavorable contracts.

• Chapter 12: Small business reorganization for family farmers and fishermen. Available to corporations and individuals. Similar to Chapter 13 in procedure.

• Chapter 13: Reorganization for individuals with consumer (personal) or small business debts through a court supervised repayment plan. Allows most individuals to repay debts over a 3 to 5 year time period, and eliminate or lower payments on certain debts.

- Creditor Representation

Our attorneys / lawyers represent secured creditors in the following matters:

• Stay Motions: Proceedings to lift the automatic stay and allow creditors to foreclose on land or repossess vehicles or other collateral.

• Plan Objections: Objections to confirmation of Chapter 13 plans.

• Valuation Disputes: Objections to debtor valuation of vehicles or other collateral.

• Dismissal Motions: Motions to dismiss repeated or abusive bankruptcy filings.

• Discharge Contests: Contesting the discharge of a debt in bankruptcy due to fraud or other abusive debtor conduct.

Weber Law Firm encourages mortgage and finance companies to contact us for a bid on creditor bankruptcy representation and legal services needed in the Houston and Galveston area. We will be happy to submit a bid for all of your legal needs. Our attorneys / lawyers will be able to provide a more cost effective fee structure in most cases.

Weber Law Firm will also agree to decline all debtor representation involving a particular creditor if that creditor agrees to retain us for all of their Houston / Galveston bankruptcy needs.
