Lee Ann L. Kley is a Personal Injury Trial Attorney and manages the personal injury and worker's compensation divisions of Kley Law, P.A. She was born in Southern Minnesota and grew up in a small farming community. At a young age, Lee Ann wanted to become a lawyer in large part due to her desire to help others.
After enrolling at Minnesota State University, Lee Ann immersed herself in pre-law and political science studies. She became involved in the community by mentoring through Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America and regularly volunteered at local food banks. After obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in political science, Lee Ann accepted a position with a disability services organization and spent a year developing and implementing program plans for social security disability recipients.
Lee Ann’s love for an active lifestyle prompted her decision to apply to law school in Florida. After receiving an offer from Barry University School of Law, she uprooted her life and moved to Orlando. After spending the summer after her second year of law school in the Netherlands observing International Court proceedings, the Florida Supreme Court admitted Lee Ann into the Certified Legal Internship program where she gained invaluable experience working with the Legal Advocacy Center of Central Florida. During law school, Lee Ann received honors for the highest grade in several courses, participated in numerous student organizations and obtained a position on Moot Court.
Lee Ann spent the early part of her career working at a prominent bankruptcy and family law firm near downtown Orlando. She moved to South Florida after accepting an offer with a personal injury law firm located in Pompano Beach. After gaining extensive litigation experience, she branched out and opened her own law practice. Lee Ann has resolved hundreds of cases on behalf of her clients.
