Winning Results since 1998
We are a law firm, to which other lawyers refer their trusted clients.
In us taking a matter, clients have the benefit of our reputation for results in previous matters for 20 + years.
We appear regularly in the superior courts but put client interests ahead of our own, such as by arranging mediations to prevent the stress and expense of a litigation trial.
Dealing with a legal case is often an emotional and sometimes, a life-changing experience.
Our family has lived and owned businesses in the city for several generations. We are not short-sighted. When you are a client of Lee Lawyers, you are in safe hands.

Some of our Practice Areas
Compensation Claims
If you want an insurance compensation firm that does not advertise or treat clients as a number, you have found the right firm. We enjoy results in motor vehicle, work and public liability claims. Due to our staff’s extensive history, working in-house with insurers, our clients have an unfair advantage.
Estate Disputes
We are experienced in both prosecuting and defending applications for further and better provision from an estate, wills rectification, declarations and other orders about wills. Our principal solicitor is also a notary public so we easily handle international estate matters.
Commercial Litigation
Challenging though it may be, litigation is frankly sometimes necessary to deal with certain business problems and people causing them. Our principal and staff regularly appear in the superior courts. We often prefer to advocate ourselves rather than briefing a barrister.
