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.

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.

David Inpyo Lee's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. GREAT and TRUSTWORTHY ATTORNEY! He has extensive experience in immigration law and has resolved numerous difficult cases."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I've taken the time to review a number of Mr. Lee's answers and have always found them to be well informed as well as demonstrating a keen insight into the law. I am very confident that he provides zealous representation on behalf of his clients."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. This lawyer has wealth of experience."
"Mr. Lee serves his clients with care and compassion. He pours all his effort into his cases and is diligent in following up on all matters. He is professional and courteous."
"David's passion and dedication to his profession, coupled with his work ethic, allows him to zealously represent his clients and obtain favorable results."
