By Lorian Hartfield, Real Estate and Financial Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

If you searched for a licensed insolvency trustee in Houston, the short answer is that role doesn't exist here.

The firms below are Houston's top-reviewed bankruptcy attorneys, led by Allmand Law with 728 reviews at a 4.9 rating.

Short answer: There is no licensed insolvency trustee designation in the United States; it's a Canadian credential. In Houston, the equivalent professional is a bankruptcy attorney. Allmand Law leads with 728 reviews and a 4.9 rating, followed by Christopher Todd Morrison, P.C. (5.0, 192 reviews) and Texas Debt Defense (4.9, 153 reviews).

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Houston bankruptcy attorneys. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over 700 reviews carries more weight than a perfect score from a hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a bankruptcy attorney cost in Houston? (2026)

What to ask before you hire a bankruptcy attorney

Do you handle Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or both, and which fits my situation?
What’s the total cost, including the court filing fee and your attorney fee?
Do you offer a payment plan if I can’t pay the full fee upfront?
Will you personally handle my case, or will I be assigned to another attorney on the team?
How will you prepare me for the meeting with the bankruptcy trustee?
Can filing bankruptcy stop a pending lawsuit or wage garnishment, and how quickly?

Frequently asked questions

Is there such a thing as a licensed insolvency trustee in Houston?

No. Licensed insolvency trustee is a designation regulated by the Canadian federal government, and it doesn’t exist as a credential in the United States. In Houston and across the U.S., the professional who guides someone through bankruptcy is a bankruptcy attorney, which is what every firm on this page is.

How did you choose these bankruptcy attorneys?

We started from every bankruptcy attorney in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 typically discharges most unsecured debt through liquidation of non-exempt assets, while Chapter 13 sets up a repayment plan over several years, often used to catch up on a mortgage and keep a home. An attorney consultation can determine which fits your situation.

The bottom line

There’s no licensed insolvency trustee in Houston to hire, since that’s a Canadian designation. Allmand Law is the safe default among Houston bankruptcy attorneys given its review volume and consistent rating, while Christopher Todd Morrison, P.C. is worth a call if you’re specifically trying to save your home through Chapter 13.
