Working at the Attorney General’s office, Lee gained a depth and breadth of experience that is exceedingly rare for a young lawyer. He tried two federal jury trials, defended the state in nearly thirty civil rights actions, directed an undercover sting operation, testified before the Kansas legislature, and drafted consumer protection legislation. Licensed to practice law in Kansas and Missouri, Lee now employs his skills and experience in the representation of Martin Pringle’s clients.
