  • Lee...reviewed my personal employment dispute case and agreed to help. Throughout the six months of extreme stress that followed, Lee was always open and honest with his advice, supportive of my position and generous with his time. Lee made sure I was fully aware of my rights and conscious of the difficulties that could result from standing my ground. I cannot thank Lee enough for his attention to detail on my behalf and recommended him unreservedly to any potential future clients.
