Delving into contracts inspired him to enter the field of law, and thus, he immigrated to the United States to pursue a law degree. Mr. Lee earned a JD from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University and began working as an associate at a local Michigan law firm. However, he soon endeavored to establish his own firm and began serving as the owner and attorney of Lee Law in 2020, where he remains today.
