Eric Southward | Houston Bankruptcy & Debt Lawyer

I am a member of the State Bar of Indiana and admitted to practice in the Southern District of Texas, Northern District of Illinois, and the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. I am a member of the Houston Association Debtor's Attorneys, National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees. I have thirteen years of federal bankruptcy and consumer law experience. Prior to joining Busby & Associates, I was a Senior Managing Attorney with Legal Helpers, P.C., a national bankruptcy firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. While at Legal Helpers, I helped oversee regional offices and previously managed their Indianapolis, Indiana office. Prior to the practice of law, I was a marketing manager with an advertising and marketing firm and a pharmaceutical research company, both based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to that, I was a national account manager with a magazine publishing services company based in Des Moines, Iowa.

I was raised and schooled in Iowa, but I am a native Texan, born in Corpus Christi. I re-joined my family, who all reside in the greater Houston area now. I received my undergraduate degree in 1992 from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa, and my law degree in 1999 from Indiana University.
