Litigation
Litigation requires a precise understanding of substantive law, procedural law, and practical application. In reality, it is often more complex than expected, and many situations demand quick decisions and judgments under pressure. Legal knowledge is important, but equally essential is extensive practical experience.
Attorney Young-Wook Lee has been practicing law since 2005, with over 20 years of continuous experience, handling a wide variety of cases every year. Just as his peers from the Judicial Research and Training Institute now serve as senior judges, prosecutors, and police officials, he brings to the legal profession a comparable depth of knowledge and experience.
Attorney Lee does not delegate litigation to junior attorneys. He personally drafts submissions, appears in court, and takes full responsibility for every case he handles.
With dedication and accountability, he strives to achieve the best possible outcome for every client who entrusts their case to him.
I had the privilege of meeting the finest attorney at the most difficult moment of my life. When everything was tangled like a ball of thread and I had no idea where to begin, attorney Lee’s sharp insight into the heart of the case, combined with genuine warmth and care for the client, brought about the best possible outcome. Thanks to this, I was able to put an end to the case and rise again with renewed hope.
