The Law Firm of John W. Lee, PC has office locations in Newport News, Hampton, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. We have six experienced attorneys on staff that focus their practice in the areas of bankruptcy, family law, criminal defense, and estate planning. With over 90 years of combined legal experience our attorneys are ready to help you face your legal challenges.

Our attorneys have helped thousands of people eliminate debt through the bankruptcy process. If you are struggling with garnishments, repossessions, collection calls, or foreclosure you should call us for a free consultation. Our attorneys are trained to help you find the best possible solution to help manage your debt, even if the answer is not filing bankruptcy. If bankruptcy is not right for you, we may be able to help you negotiate settlements with your creditors.

Bankruptcy is not the only thing we do. Our attorneys have helped thousands of people file divorce in Virginia, both contested and uncontested. We also understand the unique challenges divorce presents military personnel. We can help you with child custody, support, or visitation matters. Other things we handle include guardianships and adoptions.

Even if you are not facing an immediate legal crisis, you may need us to help you prepare a simple Last Will and Testament, Power-of-Attorney, or Advanced Medical Directive. We offer very competitive flat fee pricing for basic estate planning documents and packages.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been told by a client facing a crisis that he wished he had talked to me before he had taken whatever action that caused him to be sitting in my office. In many cases, I could have saved him a lot of heartache and money if I had the opportunity to advise him earlier, before he signed that contract or made that assumption that landed him in hot water. For folks that just want to have me look over a document or discuss a situation before an action is taken or a mistake made, we offer very simple, easy flat fee consultation.

We understand that sometimes lawyers can be expensive; so, to help our clients access the help they need we offer easy payment plans on most legal services.

We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Unprofessional left me without representation 2 days before trial. Not even enough time to get a refund to get another lawyer. The situation was thoroughly explained and they chose to go on vacation rather then honor the agreement.

Divorce

Hired Attorney

I retained Raphael Connor at the Law Offices of John W. Lee PC for help with my divorce process. 1. Mr Connor didn't reschedule a pendente lite hearing when I asked him to after I came down with severe kidney stones and was on narcotics. Instead, he went to the hearing and got conditions that were disadvantageous to me. 2. Mr. Connor didn't tell me of hearings and I had to find them out from my wife. 3. Mr. Connor didn't follow clear directions to file show causes when my wife breached the pendente lite order. Emboldening her actions and harming my interest in our joint business. 4. Mr. Connor didn't make requests for admissions, interrogatories, and discovery until after the failure of judicial settlement. 5. Mr. Connor tried to scare me into signing a settlement that was not in my favor. His firm didn't fix the problems he caused, either.

These people made several mistakes on my paperwork that I found and corrected. Those mistakes cost me more time and papers to file. The attorney makes promises until they get paid, then they ignore you and leave you with a paralegal. I am getting more help through the clerks office in town than this attorneys office I paid for. Do NOT waste your money with this firm.

Raphael Connor at John Lee P.C. is incompetent. I received custody of my Son in Aug 2019. Here it is December 29, 2020 and I still pay the Mother over $1400 in monthly support because Mr. Connor has not represented me correctly. Mr. Connor told me that I didn't have to be present for my child support reduction hearing in September 2020, in which I was the petitioner. Needless to say, the judge dismissed my case, causing me to continue to overpay the Mother. I have been overpaying the Mother for 16 months and counting. The child support appeal hearing was (2) months ago, yet DCSE still has not received the court order because Mr. Connor has not made sure that the other attorney has signed the order. I have been calling, emailing, leaving messages on his voicemail, even texting his personal cellphone, trying to explain to him that I am in danger of losing my home and being homeless. Mr. Connor refuses to contact me. I fired Raphael Connor.

I wanted to give this firm 5 stars however, as time has gone by Mr. Connor has not went over what his preperation would be for my case. when I email him about my case he short with me and most times unresponsive. this lawyer was paid in full way before going into a court room. You are supposed to trust that your attorney has your best intrest and your children's best interest in mind which I cannot see. I am not satisfied with the services and wish I would have hired a better prepared Lawyer for my case. he is good for blowing smoke to get hired for matter. DO NOT HIRE him for family law matters. If the saying is true you get what you pay for I don't see it.
