“I met Mr. Lee through the San Francisco Bar Association while pursuing legal advice for my case. The work he did and the case settlement he helped me win saved me from further frustration and conflict. His knowledge, experience and calm, understanding attitude kept me grounded throughout what was an emotional case. He was able to lend me calculated and detailed guidance every step of the way without pressuring me to go beyond what I was comfortable pursuing financially, and otherwise. Bart Lee is a great legal counselor. Wise, effective and worth every penny!
“I hope this is useful for you and I wish you well. Thanks again for all of your help! All the best, Rose Kerbein”
