More About
Bankruptcy
If debt has taken over your life — the calls, the letters, the constant stress — bankruptcy may be the most powerful tool available to you. Filing immediately triggers an automatic stay, which legally stops creditor calls, wage garnishments, lawsuits, and foreclosure auctions the moment your case is filed.
Lee Legal has helped thousands of individuals, couples, and businesses across DC, Virginia, and Maryland eliminate debt and reclaim their financial lives. Attorney Brian Lee brings over 20 years of bankruptcy experience to every case — and he’ll work directly with you from your first free consultation to your final discharge.
Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debt — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — permanently. Most cases are resolved in about three months.
Chapter 13 lets you keep your assets and catch up on missed mortgage payments through a structured repayment plan that fits your budget. It’s the most powerful tool available for stopping foreclosure.
Chapter 11 gives businesses and high-income individuals a path to reorganize debt while continuing operations — without shutting down.
Bankruptcy law is complex and constantly evolving. You shouldn’t navigate it alone — and with Lee Legal, you don’t have to.
