Attorney Mary Y. Lee founded Lee Law Firm, LLC with a clear purpose: to stand up for individuals and pursue justice on their behalf. A former Assistant District Attorney in Milwaukee County and graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School, she brings both courtroom and deep conviction to her work. Before becoming an attorney, she built a career in education. Her path to law school began while she was already a mother of five—proving it is never too late to answer a calling. Today, she combines education, advocacy, and a powerful voice for those navigating the justice system.
