Highly Recommend!

Attorney Brian Lee is a brilliant Attorney! He will stand by you as his client and go above and beyond to work for you and protect your interests. It had been over a year since my successful discharge when I had some legal questions outside my bankruptcy, and Brian Lee was there for me even after my ...case had been closed. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Brian! you are truly one in a billion!

Search no more!

This is your last stop in your searches for an attorney. After numerous research and interview with many lawyers, I decided to hire attorney Brian Lee. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, attentive and diligent. He went above and beyond to file my ch 7 bankruptcy and get a quick and successful... discharge. I had some assets and tax returns I was afraid I would lose as well as some mess with a family member that was also undergoing bankruptcy in a different state, under a different chapter that tied us together. Attorney Lee protected the both of us. He was available on Saturdays, was extremely responsive by phone and email and was even available for consultation after my discharge. He is worth 5x then what he charges. You will be very satisfied. Search no more!

Excellent Attorney!

I hired Brian for my Bankruptcy 7 case and he was so professional and thorough. He gave me a free consultation, carefully went over my financial situation and declared that I was a good candidate for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Everything Brian told me would happen did. There were no surprises in court ...and no additional fees for his services. Hopefully I will not have to hire Brian anytime in the near future but IF I had to, I would definitely hire him again. Excellent, excellent attorney!!!
