The best lawyer hands down

I had the privilege of working with attorney David Yoon-Lee during one of the most challenging times of my life. Initially, my only options seemed to be a 10-year sentence or going to trial with the risk of facing 25 years to life. Despite these tough circumstances, I expressed my hope for probation,... even though it was a difficult ask given the nature of my case. David not only listened, but he exceeded my expectations. He worked diligently and compassionately, securing me a fair probation deal of four years, something I never thought possible. His commitment to my case was unwavering, even though he accepted very little up front. He genuinely cared about my family and understood that this case was deeply connected to my children. David Yoon-Lee made a tremendous impact on my life, and for that, I will forever be grateful. I am still working to fully compensate him for his incredible work, and I stand by my word to ensure he is paid for the excellent representation he provided. Thank you, David, for your compassion, dedication, and for making my life easier. You truly are amazing.

More than a lawyer..

This man here is not only the man who helped me get my life back on track, but he is also somebody who really cared for me in a time in my life where i needed it most. He worked with me on pricing, and was the most generous offer i had received for my 2 felony charges and 1 out of county warrant. He ...got the warrant dropped, the 1st degree felony dropped, and a probationary term on the 3rd degree - & he also helped me during the early termination process as well, which let me get off probation half way through the term. In times where i thought my life was just going to be disarray, God blessed me by allowing me to stumble upon Lawyer Lee. David is a wonderful person through and through, and ill never forget tearing up when he got the outcome he said he could get from the beginning. This man right here is a light of hope in a world that needs it more than ever. Thank you for everything youve done, for me and for countless other people David, much love - Forest Joe

Hire David!

David was an amazing attorney! He was on top of everything and got me a way better deal than I had expected. All way faster than I expected. He is very experienced and cares about his clients I would recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney onto their case. You will not regret it.

Follow Up

Before I give my conclusion allow me to express a couple thoughts. First let me say that I have had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting lawyers more than I would ever desire to. In fact my last attorney was so bad that I had to put a two-way Communication in his ear to educate him in a trial setting.... So I definitely was skeptical with any other attorney that I ever would have. David definitely picked up on that scepticism immediately. Unlike many attorneys he began a conceited effort to build a trusting relationship with me. More so he was effective. Which is a very difficult feat to achieve. He is so humble and good at what he does that it is almost astonishing. Unlike many attorneys who think they have all the knowledge and information he does not do that. He is very educated and his craft however he is definitely humble enough to listen. You don't find that quality in many people in his profession. My hat goes off to you. In conclusion I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone facing any unfortunate circumstance. I truly believe that he will fight in your interest not in the interest to give the state one to get one. If you provide some legal advice David has absolutely no hesitation on utilizing that. However if you do not feel confident that he does possess the skills necessary to defend you. Being prosecuted is a very scary feeling. The ability to put one at ease is a gift that he possesses. I consider him a professional friend as well as a real friend. His communication skills are Limitless. I literally spoke to him on holidays and weekends. Sent emails on the weekend. His honesty and clarity are clearly shown. I 100% would recommend this attorney to anyone facing any matter in a court of law.

DWLI

My case was a DWLI (Driving While License Invalid). I honestly don’t even know where to begin, David not only went above and beyond to help me but he thoroughly devised a plan ensure that I could get this charge dismissed. I was quite the hassel to say the least and he stayed the most patient individ...ual and never hesitated to reassure me that my charge was going to get dismissed. Fast forward a few months later after some tricks and exhausting his connections, MY CASE WAS DISMISSED! He was more than helpful. Although I hope to never have to use him again, he will be my go to if anything ever happens or if any of my friends need a referral. Retain David Lee if you can and I promise he will do everything in his power to get you the best situation possible!!!
