Lee Matthew Vernon
About Lee
Biography
I was born and raised in Indiana but now call San Diego home. Prior to attending law school in San Diego, I served eight years in the military as an active duty member of the U.S. Coast Guard. I graduated with high honors from Davenport University with a Bachelor of Business Administration.
I gained a passion for family law while working at a veteran’s legal assistance clinic during law school. A majority of the cases I handled at the veteran’s legal assistance clinic were family law matters. I enjoyed helping clients work through legal issues that were often emotionally difficult.
I am divorced and understand that family law issues can be emotionally and financially draining. As a military veteran, I am very passionate about assisting the military members and veterans in our community. I am also very passionate about providing assistance to members of our community that cannot afford legal representation.

Great Attorney
I hired Mr. Vernon to take on child-custody case (move-away order) and he was very professional. He put a lot of time and effort into my case which helped the judge to rule in my favor. Mr. Vernon is a great attorney to hire. He cares about his clients.
