GET A LAWYER WITH A 97%+ TRIAL WIN RATE ON YOUR SIDE
Unlike most lawyers, I take cases to trial and win them. Over the course of more than two decades, I have obtained judgment for employees in 97+% of my trials and administrative hearings, an unheard-of win percentage. In the process, I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients.
In one particularly difficult disability discrimination trial against the County of Kern in federal court, I was lead trial counsel and was able to obtain a unanimous jury verdict on all counts, resulting in a $1.1 million judgment. After the County of Kern appealed a separate loss, I won that appeal as well, resulting in a published opinion and a rare award of attorney fees (County of Kern v. Jadwin (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 65).
I have dedicated my career to representing the most vulnerable members of society who have been victimized by their employers.

I have worked with Eugene on many employment cases. I never met a man as dedicated as Eugene! He even worked on Thanksgiving Day! He is never too busy to answer a question and is always available for all his clients-and he has many! I strongly recommend him for his integrity and professionalism. He is always generous in sharing his insights whenever I need a legal opinion. I would definitely endorse Eugene Lee.

I know Gene through our membership in the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA). I also recently had the pleasure of collaborating with him on a social media conference. He has an excellent legal mind, and is able to bring together his vast knowledge of the law and technology to achieve excellent results for his clients. Perhaps equally important, he is an incredibly nice, dedicated and compassionate person. That's a rare combination in this field.

I am on the Technology Committee of the California Employment Lawyers' Association with Eugene Lee. He is a very sharp lawyer who stays on the cutting edge of legal knowledge and of the latest technological developments. As courtrooms increasingly become high-tech presentation forums, Eugene is the kind of lawyer I'd want in my corner.
Manbir Chowdhary, Employment and labor Attorney on Sep 22, 2010

I first read about Gene after his outstanding trial work in the Jadwin case. My subsequent interaction with him confirms why he's held in such high regard by members of the legal community. Not just for his mastery and knowledge of employment law matters - but his energy, enthusiasm, and the ease in which he connects with others. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer's work.
Brian Freeman, Employment and labor Attorney on Nov 16, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Mr. Lee is a fellow lawyer in my community and has shown himself to be an outstanding peer and contributor to the community's legal analysis, and a fervent protector of his clients' rights. He has demonstrated patience and professionalism. I would recommend him for your labor law and employment needs without reservation.
Ellen Victor, Employment and labor Attorney on Oct 31, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Gene and I belong to many of the same attorney networks/listservs and I have found his contributions and assistance to be very helpful. Gene is an intelligent attorney who truly cares about his clients. I endorse this lawyer's work.
