Look no further. The Lee Legal Group will stand and fight for what is rightfully yours! You get timely updates of what going on with your case. They will text or call you personally! They know the Law… and are very good at it! They believe that each person deserves to be given justice and they are th...e voice for us! Daniel and his team worked relentless to make sure our case was taken care of. Their process is efficient to deliver the soonest possible result. Their efforts are exceptional and compassionate for me! They are like family, willing to give great advice I would recommend any consults with them about any legal matters I would need in the future.

Toughest Lawyer in Town! I don’t usually do reviews but this one is definitely worth it! I was put in an unfortunate situation and sought help from Daniel and his Team. His dedication, support and compassion for what he does definitely shows in how he fights for his clients. I can’t thank him enough ...for helping me during my time of need.

Personal Injury

When it comes down to the wire, with 5 seconds left on the clock and the score tied, you only want one person holding the ball. With the clock winding down, Kobe Bryant, the black mamba passes two guards, two seconds left on the clock, a crossover, he pulls up, SWISH! The Lakers, once again, CHAMPION...S!!! Daniel Lee, second to none, handled my case diligently, efficiently, and expediently. The Kobe Bryant of Lawyers and his team ensured that my case was resolved in a qualitative manner. Daniel Lee and his team, are a SLAM DUNK!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
