A San Antonio Bankruptcy Attorney Practicing Since 1978 — Voted #1 in the City by His Own Peers
Guillermo A. Flores Jr. has practiced law in San Antonio since 1978 — 47 years as of this writing. In 2014, Scene in San Antonio magazine named him the city’s #1 Bankruptcy Lawyer and #2 Civil Litigation Defense lawyer, based on a vote of San Antonio lawyers themselves rather than a purchased marketing placement. He followed that with “Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy Law” recognition in both 2015 and 2018.

Career History
Flores has practiced continuously in San Antonio and south central Texas since graduating from the University of Texas School of Law in 1978. He is licensed to practice in the Western, Southern, and Northern Districts of Texas federal courts, and is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the San Antonio Bar Association, and the San Antonio Bankruptcy Bar Association. His firm’s site states he has handled thousands of cases across bankruptcy, family law, probate, and civil litigation over his career.
Practice Concentration
The firm’s practice spans Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 11 reorganization, and Chapter 13 repayment plans, alongside probate, divorce and family law, civil litigation, and debt collection defense — a genuinely broad general practice built around a bankruptcy core rather than a narrow bankruptcy-only boutique.
Track Record
As with most bankruptcy practices, there is no comparable jury-verdict or settlement-figure table — a discharge or confirmed repayment plan is the outcome, not a monetary award. The firm’s own site states Flores has handled “thousands of cases” across his practice areas; Awesome Attorneys was not able to independently verify a specific case count and treats this as the firm’s own characterization.
Client Voice
Independent peer endorsements on Avvo describe Flores as “an excellent attorney and person of unquestionable integrity” and “a very competent lawyer” who “always takes care of his clients.” Client testimonials published on the firm’s own site describe positive experiences with both probate/estate matters (settling a father’s estate, preparing a will) and general representation, with one client calling him a “one-of-a-kind” lawyer. Because the client testimonials are firm-published, Awesome Attorneys treats them as attributed but not independently audited; the Avvo peer endorsements are independently sourced.
Beyond the Practice
The 2014 Scene in San Antonio “#1 Bankruptcy Lawyer” recognition, based on a vote of San Antonio’s own lawyers rather than a magazine editorial board or a purchased marketing package, is a genuinely peer-sourced distinction worth noting as such.
Recognition
Flores holds Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent rating — the highest available peer-review tier — for four consecutive years, 2017 through 2020, reflecting sustained recognition from fellow attorneys and judges for legal ability and ethical standards. Awesome Attorneys did not find a Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification for Flores in bankruptcy or any other area, and does not apply “specialist” language on that basis; the AV Preeminent rating and the Scene in San Antonio peer vote are being described accurately as what they are, distinct from TBLS certification.
Texas Bankruptcy Backdrop
San Antonio Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings go through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, with the creditors’ meeting typically held at the Hipolito F. Garcia Federal Building downtown. Texas’s homestead exemption protects a debtor’s primary residence at unlimited value on up to 10 acres in a city (100 acres, 200 for a family, in the country), and exempts up to $50,000 in personal property for a single filer ($100,000 for a family). A bankruptcy filing remains on a credit report for up to 10 years, though the firm’s own materials note this should be weighed against the ongoing cost of missed payments, accumulating judgments, and continued creditor collection efforts. This is general background information, not legal advice, and current figures and eligibility should be confirmed with a licensed attorney.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Flores’s clearest differentiator is nearly five decades of continuous San Antonio practice combined with a sustained, multi-year AV Preeminent peer rating and a genuinely peer-voted “#1 Bankruptcy Lawyer” recognition from the city’s own legal community — a stronger signal than a single-year award or purchased marketing badge. The honest limitation: no TBLS certification is on record, and the practice spans probate, family law, and civil litigation alongside bankruptcy rather than functioning as an exclusive bankruptcy boutique. This is a reasonable fit for a client who values a long-tenured, peer-respected generalist with genuine bankruptcy depth, particularly one who may also need probate or family-law matters handled by the same office.
