About Chance M.
Chance M. McGhee runs a solo practice in Texas and has built a career around courtroom work and client-facing case management. He is the owner and lawyer at the Law Offices of Chance M. McGhee. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and practical at the negotiating table. He balances litigation and transactional work, often moving between filings, hearings, and client consultations in a single week.
He began his professional education at the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in management and accounting in 1984. A decade later he returned to law school and received his J.D. from St. Mary’s University School of Law in 1994. Those years shaped the two sides of his practice: the numbers-driven demands of financial matters and the procedural rigors of civil litigation.
McGhee’s career has centered on serving clients in matters that reach state and federal courts. He holds membership in the Federal Bar Association. He also belongs to the San Antonio Bankruptcy Bar Association, a sign that much of his day-to-day work involves insolvency proceedings, creditor negotiations and related contested matters. He handles filings, attends hearings and counsels both individuals and businesses through the bankruptcy process.
As a small-firm owner he handles intake, strategy and courtroom appearances himself. That setup gives him control over the client experience and the legal tactics he pursues. It also means he is often the point person from the initial consultation through the final disposition of a case. He has experience managing complex schedules and coordinating with trustees, opposing counsel and court staff.
Outside of litigation, McGhee draws on his accounting background when advising clients on financial disclosure, plan feasibility and settlement structures. He prepares documents that require close attention to numbers and regulatory detail. His work can involve adversary proceedings and contested confirmation hearings, as well as negotiated resolutions when parties prefer to settle disputes without protracted litigation.
He remains active in professional groups that serve bankruptcy and federal practice communities and attends events and meetings that address changes in procedure and law. That participation informs how he approaches case management and courtroom strategy. He is licensed to practice in Texas and continues to operate the Law Offices of Chance M. McGhee, representing clients in bankruptcy and related litigation matters.
