Amazing Experience

I hired Lee as my attorney for a medical malpractice case. I could not have been happier with my decision to work with Lee. Having never gone through this type of process before, Lee took the time to explain everything to me, making me feel comfortable and at ease. He has a wealth of connections... that allowed him to consult with experts who helped my case. Lee took the time to really get to know me, my family and our situation. He really cares. In my opinion, if you're in need of a great Med/Mal attorney, you can't do any better than Lee!

Outstanding Trial Lawyer

I have known Lee Tucker and I’ve had the opportunity to work with him on many multi million dollar cases. You will not find a stronger advocate, or more diligent Lawyer around. I speak from personal experience, and he is my first call in Washington or Kentucky. Apart from being an outstanding lawyer,... he is also simply a great guy. If my own family member needed an attorney, he would be my first call.

Car Accident

Lee and his firm went above and beyond what we expected. He and his team worked hard to get us the settlement we deserved. He and his team were easy to work with, and were always available when questions arose.

Rock Stars! Hire them!

I was hit by an uninsured driver and ended up having over a year of physical therapy and various treatments including back surgery. We contacted Lee's office and from day one they were amazing. From setting expectations to end results, they made the entire process as easy and painless as one could ...ever expect. They handled everything with our auto insurance and our health insurance, the coordination of everything for surgery scheduling, bill payment, and were incredibly prompt and friendly throughout. Of everybody involved, they definitely earned every penny. And a special thanks to Diane Lucas, paralegal to Lee. She worked tirelessly, often times after office hours, to make sure we had everything we needed when we needed it. They successfully got us the max amount possible and did it fast. If you're looking for an injury attorney, look no further. I cannot say enough good about these guys.

Lee is a trustworthy, careful, and prudent lawyer

We hired Lee as local co-counsel on a medical malpractice case in the Seattle area. Lee's knowledge and experience with medical malpractice/personal injury cases in the Seattle area is without question an indispensable benefit to the litigation. In addition, Lee's staff is very kind, supportive, and ...the entire office is very responsive and transparent.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
