Win without fighting when possible. Fight well when necessary.

A legal dispute can consume your money, time and peace of mind. We first look for a practical way to protect you without unnecessary conflict. That may mean clear advice, a firm letter, focused negotiation, a four-way meeting or mediation. When court becomes necessary, we prepare the evidence and advocate for you with purpose.

Clear advice for the problem in front of you

Legal problems rarely arrive one at a time. A separation may involve children, property and a family business. A failed real estate deal may lead to a lawsuit and an urgent claim against land. An immigration refusal may carry a short court deadline. You need someone who can see the whole problem, explain the real choices and help you decide what deserves action now.

George Lee Law Corporation advises and represents clients in family law, civil litigation, immigration law, criminal defence and selected solicitor matters. We tell you what looks strong, what needs evidence and what may cost more than it is worth. Straight answers matter.

Legal process

You should not have to translate your life before you explain your legal problem

George Lee advises clients in English and Mandarin and understands Cantonese. James Lee serves clients in English and Korean. This helps the firm understand not only the words in a dispute, but also the family expectations, business practices and cross-border records behind them. Court documents may still require an English version or certified translation. We will explain what is needed.

Interviews & media

Read before you decide

Our legal articles answer the questions clients ask in real cases: How do you protect a parental gift? Can you freeze money before trial? What happens when a buyer refuses to complete a presale? Can the Federal Court force IRCC to decide a delayed application? Read the general information, then speak with a lawyer about how the law applies to your facts.
