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).

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.

He is one of the best consumer bankruptcy lawyers in the country. Bob has been a leader in using the law to help financially struggling families. He also has been an innovator in protecting consumers from predatory creditors. He has saved the homes of many financially strapped individuals.
