Karen E. Lee

An accomplished family law attorney, Karen E. Lee is the principal at her own firm located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Providing compassionate representation to clients throughout the Cleveland greater metropolitan area and other parts of the northeastern part of the state, she assists people who are facing the end of their marriages and who are being confronted with such divorce-related issues as the division of business interests, retirement accounts and other complex marital assets, child support, alimony, and child custody and visitation. Ms. Lee has more than 25 years of of experience in this practice area, allowing her to better serve her clients in what is often an emotional and upsetting time in their lives.

In addition to her skilled advocacy in the courtroom, Ms. Lee often pursues solutions to some of these issues through her employment of alternative dispute resolution techniques such as negotiation, mediation and collaborative divorce law. In the latter process, each party has separate legal representation. In addition, there are often neutral third parties such as child psychologists, mediators and financial advisers.

Ms. Lee also assists clients who are seeking a modification of a child support or custody order.

As an undergraduate, Ms. Lee attended Bowling Green State University and received a Bachelor of Arts in 1979. She then went on to pursue her legal education at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and was awarded her Juris Doctor in 1982. Ms. Lee is admitted to practice in Ohio and before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. She was an Assistant Prosecutor in Geauga County prior to  entering private practice.
