Initial Consult

The best lawyer for you is not necessarily the one who just says what you want to hear.  He is the one who explains the law and how it applies to your situation, and tells you what you can reasonably expect, in or out of court.  The best attorney explains the “cost” (in dollars, time, and stress) of pursuing your legal matter.  He then lays out the strategic plan tailored to your particular case.  You, the client, can then make an informed decision.

Lee’s Background

Lee is a North Carolina native.  Born in High Point, he graduated with honors from Wesleyan Christian Academy.  He received appointments to the US Air Force Academy from Senator Terry Sanford and the US Naval Academy from Congressman Howard Coble, and decided upon North Carolina State University to continue his education.  He graduated from North Carolina State and North Carolina Central University School of Law with honors and was involved in sporting and community extra-curricular activities throughout his academic career. While in law school, he volunteered with F.A.C.E.S. (Future Attorneys Challenging Elementary Students), was a law school tutor and also interned at the North Carolina Attorney General’s office and a prominent lobbying firm in Washington, D.C.

In 1997, he was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar and is also a member of the North Carolina Bar Association and the Pitt County Judicial District Bar.  Lee began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Pitt County in District Court handling misdemeanor and felony charges before being promoted to Superior Court in 1999.  While in Superior Court for eight years, he prosecuted major drug cases and other high-level felony charges.  Lee has participated in three trainings with the Federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF).  He had immense success in winning jury trials.

In 2007, Lee joined a local law firm where he practiced real estate and criminal law as well as will preparation and corporate formation.  His longstanding legal career, in a variety of areas, has afforded him exceptional professional experience and prepared him well for opening his own law firm.

Lee's professional integrity is exhibited in his personal life through church and community involvement. He has served as a Missions Chairman for a large church, was a member of the Pastor’s Advisory Team, taught college classes and currently teaches children's classes, and continues to lead in-home small group Bible studies.
