Edward Le

Litigation lawyer | Mar 19

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Lee Raaen is a lawyer's lawyer. He is the real life version of Atticus Finch and the mold for all lawyers to aspire to. He is calm and professional in all instances but yet endowed with the legal brilliance that is unmatched by most lawyers. He is as immensely persuasive in court as he is captivating in character. He not only earned my strong endorsement here, but also my utmost respect."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I strongly endorse Lee. He and I have litigated several matters together over the years (him in the trial court, me on appeal) and I have always found Lee's work and insight outstanding. He is careful, thoughful, decent, smart, and hard working."

Litigation lawyer | Oct 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Lee since early 1979. We have worked on cases together. We have tried cases together. I have retained him to represent me in a few matters. I have seen him on his feet in court, in deposition, in settlement mediations and in about every imaginable circumstances a trial lawyer finds himself in. Lee has excellent litigation skills. He thoroughly prepares his cases for trial. He is never unprepared. One area where he truly excels is analyzing factual situations and developing legal theories. He is very creative as a litigation theoritician. Lee is a lawyer's lawyer."

  • 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.
