Protection.
Preparation.
Peace of Mind.

At Bret Lee Legal Solutions, we believe in preparing extensively for every case. Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, a successful defense is built on examining the specific facts of your case. When you first meet with our firm, we will hear out the details of your case so that we can start developing a carefully tailored defense, rather than a "one size fits all" strategy. This approach has led to numerous successes in court and positive results for our clients.

As part of our strategy, we will review all of the available evidence in close detail. Witness testimony, DNA from the scene, and video footage can all play an integral role in the outcome of your case. If the prosecution cannot demonstrate your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, we will push for an acquittal.

In other cases, we can also consider mitigating factors to reduce the severity of a charge. While no result is guaranteed, our firm can help negotiate for a favorable resolution to your case to keep the disruption to your life to a minimum. Throughout the proceedings, we will discuss your options with you so that you understand the possible paths forward. We strive to keep our clients informed at every juncture, demystifying the confusion and uncertainty behind the court system.

Outside of criminal cases, we provide representation in expungement matters. We know how much a criminal record can affect your everyday life, so we can explore avenues to get an arrest or charge removed from public access.

A master at his craft.

Mr. Lee was very compassionate about my case from the start to finish. He went beyond my expectations with everything and is a master at his craft. Throughout my case, which went on for over a year, Mr. Lee was very responsive, reliable, and was great at explaining everything to me.
