Personal Injury 100%

I offer more than the industry standard of 1/3rd to the client. My clients are all happy with the settlements they receive as I give the client much more. I do not rush to settle cases because I fight for what the case is worth.

Truly Knowledgeable Immigration Attorney

David Lee assisted with my families Visa Petition all the way from Japan. After talking to many lawyers I finally settled on Mr. Lee. He always seemed very knowledgeable of current immigration laws and always answered all of my questions appropriately. I had the opportunity to meet with him just once... but he was able to handle our case from overseas. I have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to go to him in the future. Feel confident that with Mr. Lee all of your immigration issues will be handled with the utmost professionalism and knowledge possible.

not only my attorney but also a great friend

Mr. Lee is the best attorney I know. He is honest, caring, and dedicated. Although other attorneys told me some things cannot be done, Mr. Lee assured me that he could get them done and he did. My wife and I both are legal permanent residents thanks to the work of Mr. Lee’s office. He is not only... my attorney but also a great friend.

generous and honest lawyer

I got into an accident late last year and had only soft tissue injuries. My attorney settled the case for $17,000 and gave $8,500 (50%) of the total settlement. He was great, generous, and professional.

Immigration lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David Lee is among the most dedicated attorneys in his fields of immigration law and personal injury. Client communications are returned promptly, his work is precise and detailed, he keeps clients fully informed of their options and progress, and he never hesitates to assist with any inquiries. His charisma and genuinely helpful mentality is only surpassed by his superior working knowledge of the law. Given the regular changes adopted by USCIS and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as well as the dynamic process by which applications are submitted and approved, the nuances of immigration law have become increasingly complex, both procedurally and substantively. David Lee expends significant personal time and effort to keep abreast of the lastest developments so that he can provide his clients with the best representation and updated information. It is this type of knowledge, experience, trust, honesty and diligence by which all persons should expect from their lawyer."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I interned for David while I was in law school and returned to work with him after becoming a licensed attorney. His work is impeccable and he is knowledgeable not only in the personal injury field but also has 10+ years of experience in the immigration field. Unlike most attorneys out there, he is one of the most loyal and selfless individuals I know, and he is extremely dedicated to his clients and profession."
