Rashid Law Firm: A Houston Attorney Who Has Personally Filed Over 2,500 Bankruptcy Cases Since 2009

Radi M. Rashid wrote a book on bankruptcy and self-published it on Amazon — an unusual move for an attorney whose office sits on Gulf Freeway in southeast Houston rather than in a downtown high-rise, and one that reflects a practice built almost entirely around case volume and consumer education rather than institutional prestige.

Origin and Background

Rashid Law Firm is located at 10222 Gulf Freeway, Suite B-100, Houston, TX 77034, confirmed through Rashid’s State Bar of Texas member record and the firm’s Yelp business listing. Azwar-Radi M. Rashid earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from DePaul University in 2005 and a J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2008, graduating with multiple academic scholarships and Dean’s List recognition. He was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 2009 and is also licensed in Illinois; he has practiced bankruptcy law in the Houston area continuously since his 2009 admission.

Practice Concentration

Rashid’s practice centers on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy filings for individuals and their spouses in and around Houston. Awesome Attorneys did not identify Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification for Rashid and does not apply “specialist” language on that basis; some of the firm’s own directory listings describe a broader practice that also includes personal injury matters, a detail Awesome Attorneys discloses directly rather than treating bankruptcy as the firm’s sole focus. He is admitted to practice before the Southern District of Texas district and bankruptcy courts and, through a Puerto Rico bar admission, the First Circuit Court of Appeals and Puerto Rico’s federal courts. See this Houston Bankruptcy & Debt directory for how this high-volume, non-board-certified practice compares to board-certified specialists also serving Harris County.

Notable Work / Track Record

The firm’s own materials state that Rashid has represented clients in over 5,000 to 8,000 bankruptcy proceedings (the figure varies slightly across the firm’s own bio pages) and has personally filed over 1,300 to 3,000 individual bankruptcy cases since 2009, a wide range Awesome Attorneys attributes to inconsistent self-reported figures across the firm’s own materials rather than independently verified case counts. He authored a self-published book on bankruptcy available on Amazon. He has been endorsed by more than 25 fellow attorneys on Avvo, several specifically citing his knowledge of bankruptcy procedure and his contributions to the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys’ member listserv.

Client Voice

Client reviews on Yelp and the firm’s own site are consistently positive, with reviewers specifically praising the firm’s free consultation policy, responsiveness compared to other firms that charged for consultations, and the speed of the filing process. The firm reports several hundred client reviews and testimonials in total. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative or critical reviews warranting disclosure.

Beyond the Courtroom

Rashid is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the State Bar of Texas Bankruptcy Law Section, and the Houston Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, and peer endorsements describe him as an active contributor to bankruptcy-attorney professional discussion. Awesome Attorneys did not identify separate non-legal civic or nonprofit board service documented for him.

Recognition for This Houston Bankruptcy Attorney

Awesome Attorneys did not identify Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification for Rashid and does not apply “specialist” language on that basis. His recognition instead rests on third-party rankings — including a top-three Houston bankruptcy attorney placement from ThreeBestRated and recognition from HTexas Magazine and TrustAnalytica — credentials the firm itself distinguishes from paid placements by stating it has never paid for ranking or recognition, a claim Awesome Attorneys could not independently verify but discloses as the firm’s own representation.

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 directed toward a Chapter 13 repayment plan instead. Texas’s unlimited homestead exemption protects a debtor’s primary residence regardless of its value, subject to acreage limits 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

Rashid Law Firm’s clearest differentiator is sheer case volume — thousands of bankruptcy proceedings and well over a thousand personally filed cases since 2009, paired with a free-consultation model and consistently positive client reviews for speed and accessibility. The honest trade-off is that Rashid does not hold TBLS board certification, some of the firm’s own bio materials describe a practice that extends beyond bankruptcy into personal injury work, and the firm’s self-reported case-count figures are inconsistent across its own materials — details a board-certification-focused filer should weigh against the firm’s high accessibility and volume. For a Harris County filer prioritizing a fast, high-volume, budget-conscious bankruptcy filing over board certification specifically, Rashid’s case volume and review record are a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
