Houston Bankruptcy Lawyer Nicholas R. Westbrook

Thanks for visiting my website.  I hope the information provided is helpful in making your decision whether to file for Bankruptcy. 

When choosing your Bankruptcy attorney, it is important to know a few things about them.  You want to make sure you and the attorney are a good fit.  This page has been designed to give you some highlights about my background, education and achievements. 

I am a native Texan who was born in Lubbock, Texas.  I attended The University of Texas at Austin and received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology.  I'm still a huge Longhorns fan. 

After college, I attended South Texas College of Law here in Houston, where I gained my Juris Doctorate.  I graduated in the Top 2% of my class (1 of 5 students) and received the highest distinction of summa cum laude. 



Since starting my own law firm,  I have concentrated on helping good people dealing with bad situations.  I have gained  excellent praise and recognition for my dedication to homeowners, small business owners and other consumers.  I focus on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.  I'm dedicated to my clients and want to help.
