READ CAREFULLY before hiring Mr. Lee!

I had contracted Mr. Lee to represent me in a criminal case regarding my ex husband whom had filed charges against me for pointing a firearm at me, assault, threats, and destruction of property. At times while he was counseling me, he essentially told me "I don't know what's going to happen to you". ...Also note, Mr. Lee likes to walk around a court room with a half burnt cigar in his mouth while the judge was present which resulted in a verbal statement from the judge inquiring that Mr. Lee not brandish his half burnt cigars in a court of law. Long story short, I was given essentially the maximum sentencing after months of continuance. Also, during my cross examination, I essentially had to intervene and object myself while Mr. Lee seemed uninterested during my cross-examination. While it is true that Mr. Lee is the most affordable lawyer in town, I would urge each and EVERY one of you to consider seeking representation elsewhere. I also happened to overhear what seemed to be legal jokes regarding Mr. Lee from the District attorney while awaiting the final decision from the judge. I was a certified nurse at a reputable hospital until Mr. Lee ultimately cost me my entire trial resulting in my 1 year jail sentence for a series of misdemeanors. Avoid this man at all costs and either represent yourself, or find a more reputable lawyer!

Amazing!!!

He has handled more than 8 cases in 2 years for my Fiancé. Several felonies and keeps him out of jail each time. Very knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend his service and now have several of my friends handling there cases, they are pleased also!

I COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB DEFENDING MYSELF!!! AWFUL!

During the initial consultation, Mr. Lee acted as if he was going to do everything in his power to defend me. After retaining Mr. Lee as my attorney, he never contacted me to discuss my case or prepare me for court. I assumed, since I'm not a lawyer, that he had another strategy (giving Mr. Lee t...he benefit of the doubt), because I figured a lawyer, out of all people, wouldn't go to court unprepared (not knowing much about his case). BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!! Not only was he unprepared, but I almost questioned whether he was actually an attorney! His questions were totally off and he would object for no reason or for a reason that didn't make since. I COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB DEFENDING MYSELF!!! Even the judgte was disgusted with Mr. Lee. I was totally embarrassed and whats even worse, I wasted money retaining him.
