With nearly two decades of experience in the high-stakes arenas of criminal defense and immigration law, founding attorney Jae Lee offers a unique perspective that few can match. Having served as a former prosecutor, he understands the opposition’s playbook, allowing him to anticipate their strategies and build the strongest possible defense for his clients.
A Personal Connection to Your Journey
As a first-generation immigrant, he understands firsthand the anxiety, uncertainty, and immense pressure of navigating the U.S. justice and immigration systems. This personal history drives his commitment to being more than just an aggressive “attorney at law” in the courtroom; he prides himself on being a “counselor at law” who takes the time to connect with every client on a human level, easing their stress during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
A Proven Record in High-Stakes Trials
Jae Lee’s advocacy skills have been honed through thousands of cases and dozens of hard-fought trials across criminal, civil, and immigration courts. He is known for his “no-stone-unturned” approach, which has led to remarkable results in even the toughest cases, including:
Homicide Defense: Successfully secured an acquittal on the top count in a high-profile homicide trial, protecting his client’s future when everything was on the line.
High-Profile Advocacy: His cases have garnered significant attention from local and national news media. He is a sought-after legal voice, frequently providing expert commentary and interviews for U.S., Korean, and Chinese press, ensuring his clients’ stories are told fairly and accurately.
The "Crimmigration" Advantage
By blending nearly 20 years of criminal trial experience with a deep mastery of immigration law, he ensures that every legal decision is made with your immigration status in mind. In a system where one mistake can lead to devastating consequences, he provides the nuanced, strategic defense you need to stay in the country you call home.
Conversely, he is an expert in handling immigration matters for clients with criminal history or a complex procedural history.
