Weber Law Firm: A Solo Houston Bankruptcy Practice Board Certified Since 1997, With a Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court Bar Card

William David Weber graduated 19th out of 332 students at the University of Houston Law Center in 1983 — top six percent of his class — and was inducted into the Order of the Coif. Four decades later, he still runs his bankruptcy practice as a solo shop out of a single Houston office, a scale choice that puts him at the opposite end of the spectrum from the city’s larger, multi-attorney debt-relief firms.

Origin and Background

Weber Law Firm, P.C. is located at 6666 Harwin Drive, Houston, TX 77036, confirmed through the firm’s own listings and Weber’s State Bar of Texas member record. William D. Weber earned an A.B. summa cum laude from Ohio University in 1979 (double major in Government and Psychology, minor in Business Administration) before his J.D. cum laude from the University of Houston Law Center in 1983, where his class rank and Order of the Coif membership place him among that class’s top academic performers. He was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 1983 and has practiced continuously since, putting his active bankruptcy career at more than 40 years.

Practice Concentration

Weber is Board Certified in Consumer Bankruptcy Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a certification the State Bar of Texas records show he first earned in 1997 and has recertified multiple times since. His practice represents small businesses and consumer debtors in Chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13 filings and related bankruptcy litigation; the firm’s own materials also disclose that it represents creditors in some matters, a dual-representation pattern common among solo bankruptcy specialists handling adversary proceedings rather than a sign of a defense-oriented practice. Weber is admitted to all Texas state courts, the Southern, Northern, and Western U.S. District Courts of Texas, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. See this Houston Bankruptcy & Debt directory for how this board-certified solo practice compares to the multi-attorney debt-relief firms also serving Harris County.

Notable Work / Track Record

As a solo consumer and small-business bankruptcy practice, the firm does not publish a table of case outcomes, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify one — Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 results are governed by the means test and repayment schedule rather than negotiated settlements. Weber is a contributing author of the firm’s self-published “BAPCPA Bankruptcy Reference Library,” a practitioner resource on the 2005 bankruptcy reform law, and his case history includes a reported Southern District of Texas bankruptcy opinion, In re McDonald, 486 B.R. 843, independently verifiable through court reporting services.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial public review record for Weber Law Firm across the major review platforms checked (FindLaw, Yelp, Avvo) — a genuine gap for a 40-year solo practice, disclosed here rather than papered over. What is independently verifiable is Weber’s sustained board certification and multi-decade court admission record, which speak to longevity and credentialing rather than client sentiment specifically.

Beyond the Courtroom

Weber has maintained active membership in the Houston Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys continuously since 1997 and in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys across two membership periods (1998–2008 and 2013–present). Awesome Attorneys did not identify separate non-legal civic or nonprofit board service documented for him.

Recognition for This Houston Bankruptcy Attorney

Weber’s Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification in Consumer Bankruptcy Law, independently confirmed through the State Bar of Texas’s own attorney records, is the credential Awesome Attorneys relies on to apply “specialist” language to his practice — consistent with house policy reserving that language for genuine TBLS certification rather than self-description. His Order of the Coif academic distinction and admission to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court are additional, separately verifiable credentials.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Consumer bankruptcy filers in Houston’s Southern District of Texas qualify for Chapter 7 primarily through a means test comparing trailing six-month income against the Texas median for a household of their size; filers above the median may still qualify after allowed-expense deductions or may be steered toward a Chapter 13 repayment plan instead. Texas’s homestead exemption is unlimited in value for a debtor’s primary residence, one of the most protective in the country, though acreage limits apply outside a municipality. None of this is legal advice; a specific bankruptcy filing should be evaluated by a licensed Texas attorney based on the actual facts and finances involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Weber Law Firm’s clearest differentiator is the combination of long-standing TBLS board certification (since 1997) with top-tier academic credentials and a full federal court admission record extending to the U.S. Supreme Court — an unusually academically decorated background for a solo consumer bankruptcy practice. The honest trade-off is twofold: as a solo practice, capacity is inherently smaller than multi-attorney firms in this category, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify a meaningful public client-review record to weigh against that credentialing, a genuine gap worth naming rather than glossing over. For a Harris County filer who prioritizes a deeply credentialed, board-certified solo attorney and is comfortable with a smaller practice’s client-review visibility, Weber’s certification history is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
