About Renee
Biography
Licensed for over 20 years, attorney Renee Lee has done “a little bit of everything” in general legal practice before concentrating on Family Law over a decade ago. That diverse experience allows her to be more effective when business, real estate or land use issues arise in a family law matter.
Renee is adept at finding creative solutions that avoid litigation and its stresses on a family but is a vigorous advocate for her clients when the only avenue for resolution is in the courtroom.
"I am honored to be a voice for those who need one. I help level the playing field when my client feels overpowered or unsure in a relationship."
Renee earned her master’s degree and J.D. at the University of Washington. Originally from New York, Renee now considers herself a Washingtonian. She enjoys theater, spending time with her family, and running with her rescue dog, Cora.

Attentive attorney, always available
Renee is easy to talk to, even about difficult subjects. She walked me through a divorce and parenting plan. I have recommended her to others, who are also pleased. It's worth a call!

Such a pleasure to work with!
Renee was always very professional to work with and she really felt like a close friend through this process.

"It has been my pleasure to know Renee since my days as a prosecuting attorney. She is honorable in her dealings with other attorneys, zealous in her defense of her clients and compassionate in her treatment of others. Her respect for the court while making her arguments in favor of her client's case routinely win her favor with all who have the experience of seeing her in action. I learned much from Renee when opposing her in court and now, as a fellow private practice criminal defense attorney, I look forward to being able to learn from her experience. Her quiet confidence earn her much respect and great rewards to those who rely on her legal talents. It is with enormous pride that I endorse Renee Lee."
