Posted by Karen | November 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

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!!!

Thank you for your awesome review, Karen. I have really enjoyed working with you, too. I work really hard for my clients, so it's always great to get positive feedback. Feel free to keep in touch and check in from time to time!

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...ook time to really review the details of my situation. Ultimately, he told me that bankruptcy was not the best course of action in my particular circumstance, but he offered insight and recommendations for me to consider moving forward. I truly felt that he had my best interest in mind, even if that meant that I wouldn't become his client. Though I hope to never be in this position again, he would be my first call if it came to pass.

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!

Great Advise

I visited my Lee for a consultation regarding bankruptcy. During my consultation, Mr. Lee asked me a series of questions, took notes, analyzed the information that I gave him and began to advise me based on the information given. Mr. Lee asked/advised to consider paying off my debts and to work ou...t my tax situation. After leaving his office, I took him up on his advise, paid off my debts, an established a payment plan for my tax debt. Now I'm rebilling my credit on my own. I didn't need bankruptcy after all, as Mr. Lee stated in my consultation. I am truly grateful!!!
