About Robert

Experience of fourteen thousand bankruptcies. Call today and sleep better tonight. 703-691-5823

I love being a bankruptcy lawyer because I can help almost everyone I see. Bankruptcy is about happy endings.

 

I've been a bankruptcy lawyer in Northern VA for more than twenty years, and I've helped more than fourteen thousand people get a new start in life.  I do the most Chapter 7 bankruptcies of any lawyer in Northern Virginia. We also offer Chapter 13 for the small number of people for whom Chapter 13 is better. 

We like Chapter 7 because it gives you a fresh start in five ways. the creditors can't call or bill you. they can't take you to court. Your credit score will improve. You'll sleep better. You'll be smarter.

 

I'm 67 years old, married and live with my (much younger) wife in Falls Church VA.  I'm a member of The Falls Church (Anglican).

    Review Robert Weed

    One of the best Bankruptcy Lawyers

    Posted by

    Very glad that I hired Robert Weed. He knows the nitty gritty bankruptcy law. Even after I was discharged a creditor mistakenly sent me a 1099c form. I contacted Mr. Weed and he responded within an hour. In all I will highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking such services.

    Robert Weed's response: Sometimes a lose end pops up a few years later. Raymond had one that I was able to clear up in a couple days. No charge. I think it's my job to make sure you get the full benefit of your new start.

    Super!

    I am new to Virginia. I was shopping for a bankruptcy attorney. I am what you call a true skeptic. Mr. Weed had many good reviews. I gave him a try and I am very satisfied. My student loan debt was discharged. I was always told that it has to be repaid. Thanks Robert Weed.

    Mr. Weed is an excellent bankruptcy lawyer! He and his team clearly outline what to expect with your case and what you, as his client, need to complete before your hearing. Even afterward he will sit down with you to go over your hearing outcome and follows up all the way through to receiving your discharge paperwork. Follow his instructions and you can't go wrong. They are there to help every step of the way!

    Submitted a question on AVVO and Mr. Weed provided an excellent suggestion. I followed his suggestion and my case was dismissed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

    I recommend Attorney Robert Weed to every one in need of a Bankruptcy Attorney

    Posted by

    My Original Bankruptcy Attorney moved out of state about four years after I filed a chapter 13 Bankruptcy and he was released by the court. I contacted Mr. weed as I still had approx. six months or more left on my case. I can only say how much I wish that I had gotten Mr. Weed from the start. Their was still a lot of paper work left to file in my case. I was able to deal with Lori. Mr Weeds personal rep. on a daily basis by phone or e-mail if need, I always received an answer to my questions right a way she is a great person to deal with I felt that she was my best friend. What a great team and Mr weeds fee was more than reasonable.

    I endorse this lawyer. I first met Robert Weed approximately 12 years ago at NACBA convention and seminar. He impressed me then and I have followed his career since then from afar. He clearly embodies the type of person and lawyer that I would want one of my family members have represent them if they lived near him. He seems to really care about his clients, and giving them great service appears to be his first goal.
