A foreclosure sale date. A garnishment that already hit your paycheck. A debt lawsuit you just got served with. Those are the three calls I get most.
I'm Brian Lee. I have practiced law in the DC region since 2004 and built Lee Legal in 2008 around one thing: getting people out from under debt they cannot pay.
I file Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the District of Columbia, the District of Maryland in Greenbelt, and the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria. I know the local rules, the trustees, and the judges in all three.
Chapter 7 wipes out credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans, usually in about four months. Chapter 13 stops a foreclosure sale and lets you cure mortgage arrears over five years while you keep the house. Chapter 11 gives a business room to reorganize and keep its doors open.
Not everyone should file. Sometimes the right answer is a settlement, a loan modification, or defending the collection suit on the merits. I will run your actual numbers and tell you which one fits. I will tell you straight, even when the answer is that you do not need me.
Before Lee Legal I worked with the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, and interned with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. I am admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Fourth Circuit, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the bankruptcy courts of DC, Maryland, and Eastern Virginia.
B.A. in English from Rutgers. J.D. from the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University. Member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the American Bankruptcy Institute, the Northern Virginia Bankruptcy Bar, and the National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees.
The consultation is free and confidential. Call. Don't wait for the sale date.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant
I met with Mr. Lee for a consultation as I was considering declaring bankruptcy. The notion of engaging in that process alone was incredibly intimidating and stressful, but I felt at ease within the first five minutes of our meeting. It was clear that he's an expert in this area of practice, and he t...
I always try to keep my clients out of bankruptcy, if at all possible. In many cases, there are alternative ways to deal with debt that do not involve a formal bankruptcy declaration. I'm glad I was able to help you!
