Good Bankruptcy Guidance in an estate
Brian Lee assisted me in 2023 and 2024, when I became executor of my brother's estate and it included a DC business. His name had been given to me by another attorney. We had to declare my brother's business bankrupt and auction off the assets and satisfy creditors. Brian was very knowledgeable abou...
Thanks for your thoughtful review and for trusting me during such a difficult time. Serving as executor of a loved one's estate is challenging under any circumstances, and the added complexity of a business bankruptcy can make the process even more overwhelming. We persevered with skill and grace! I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you, your estate counsel, and the several other professionals involved to navigate the unique legal and practical issues that arose in your case. Your organization and hard work played an important role in achieving a successful outcome. My goal is always to help clients understand what to expect, stay informed, and move forward with confidence, even when facing difficult circumstances. Thank you again for your trust and for taking the time to share your experience.

Wrongful Foreclosure
I give Brian three stars for taking my call and providing his legal advice. Free consultation is nice to have. :) However, I felt very unhappy at the end of the call. Our house was wrongfully foreclosed upon and the bank had admitted wrongdoing in a letter they sent along with a few hundreds of c...
Thanks for calling my office. As I explained, wrongful foreclosure litigation is outside my practice area: I help clients who are currently facing foreclosure, not post-foreclosure claims. I'm glad I could point you in a better direction. We remember the call differently. I'm direct with callers because sugarcoating doesn't help anyone, but I'm never dismissive — and the suggestion that your accent played any role is simply not true. I'm sorry the call left you frustrated. I hope you found the right attorney for your situation.
