Lee is a Memphis, Tennessee native and a 2006 graduate of The University of Tennessee at Knoxville where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Finance with honors. Lee subsequently attended the University of Alabama School of Law on full scholarship and graduated summa cum laude in 2010. He finished fourth in his graduating class and served in numerous extracurricular positions such as Student Bar Association Chairman of Career Services and senior editor for the Alabama Law Review. Lee received numerous best paper awards as well as honors from the Bench and Bar Legal Honor Society, the Public Interest Institute, the Order of the Coif, and Phi Delta Phi. Finally, he also performed work for the Alabama Law Institute and represented clients in the Alabama Domestic Violence Clinic.
After law school, Lee served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable William Royal Furgeson of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. He then clerked for the Honorable Jerome Kearney of the United States District Court for the Northern Eastern District of Arkansas for three years.
Since then, he has represented clients across the country from New York to California. Although a large portion of those clients has been professionals, such as doctors and attorneys, he has also worked to help persons from all walks of life, such as factory workers and repairmen. Lee has been involved in a significant decision impacting key provisions in a major U.S. company’s benefit plan and has had the privilege of assisting clients in obtaining favorable outcomes in numerous cases, notably including two favorable ERISA final decisions, something very rare in Alabama.
He is driven by the conviction that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect when it becomes necessary to rely on the safety net they put in place to protect themselves and their family. Insurers seem less and less willing to abide by their promises when that day comes, so he is kept pretty busy most days.
Lee has traveled to over 50 countries and hopes to see them all one day.
