At a Glance

Origin & Founder History

Richard G. Grant trained under Myron Sheinfeld — co-editor of the treatise Collier on Bankruptcy and co-author of Collier on Bankruptcy Taxation — at the boutique Chapter 11 firm Sheinfeld, Maley & Kay, a firm whose reported client roster included Continental Airlines, Dow Corning Corporation, CompuAdd Corporation, and the creditors’ committee for Zale Credit Corp. From 1991 to 2000, Grant practiced there alongside Barbara J. Houser, who was later appointed a U.S. Bankruptcy Judge and eventually became Chief Judge. Grant went on to form Roberts & Grant, P.C. with the late Hon. T. Glover Roberts, a former U.S. Bankruptcy Judge, before joining Crescent Court-based CM Law (Culhane Meadows).

Practice Concentration

Grant’s practice concentrates on Chapter 11 reorganization and complex commercial restructuring, with reported industry experience spanning construction, oil & gas, hospitality, real estate, aerospace, intellectual property, and mergers & acquisitions — a breadth of sector exposure consistent with more than 25 years in large-case restructuring work.

Track Record

Grant’s professional history includes training and practicing directly under Myron Sheinfeld, a nationally recognized bankruptcy treatise author, and forming his own firm with a former sitting U.S. Bankruptcy Judge — both markers of deep engagement with the Northern District of Texas bankruptcy bench and bar over multiple decades. Awesome Attorneys did not independently verify specific case-level verdict, settlement, or confirmed-plan figures for Grant’s individual matters.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not locate a substantial base of independent, verifiable consumer or business-client reviews for Grant’s individual practice at the time of research, which is common for attorneys focused on large-case commercial restructuring rather than consumer-facing bankruptcy work; this gap is disclosed directly.

Beyond the Courtroom

Grant’s professional history — training under a co-editor of the leading bankruptcy treatise and later co-founding a firm with a former federal bankruptcy judge — reflects sustained engagement at the more institutional end of the Dallas bankruptcy bar.

Recognition

Grant was named to Texas Super Lawyers from 2018 through 2021, a peer-nominated, independently researched recognition distinct from pay-to-play marketing lists. Awesome Attorneys did not locate a Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification in Business Bankruptcy Law for Grant at the time of research, and no “specialist” language is used in this profile as a result.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Large, complex Chapter 11 cases of the type Grant’s background suggests he handles trigger the same automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 that smaller cases do, but typically involve additional complexity around first-day motions, DIP (debtor-in-possession) financing, and multi-creditor-class plan confirmation. None of this is legal advice; a business considering a large-scale reorganization should consult experienced restructuring counsel given the procedural complexity involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Grant’s genuine differentiator is pedigree at the institutional end of Texas bankruptcy practice — direct training under a nationally recognized treatise author and a firm co-founded with a former federal bankruptcy judge are unusually strong markers of sustained engagement with the field’s most complex work. The honest trade-off is that this profile is built more on professional lineage and peer recognition than on independently verifiable case-outcome data or consumer reviews; a prospective large-case client should ask directly for recent matter references given the comparatively thin public review record typical of this segment of the bankruptcy bar.

Methodology & Sourcing

This profile was compiled from CM Law’s (Culhane Meadows) public attorney biography for Richard G. Grant, Texas Super Lawyers’ published recognition archives, and publicly available professional history regarding Sheinfeld, Maley & Kay and Roberts & Grant, P.C.
