About James Lee
James Lee Lindon is a former attorney who practiced law in Avon, Ohio, for over two decades. He was admitted to the Ohio State Bar in 1997, shortly after earning his Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University - Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Prior to his legal career, Lindon completed a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at Boston University in 1996. His legal practice, founded in 2002 as Lindon & Lindon, LLC, specialized in various areas, including criminal law, business law, DUI & DWI, intellectual property, patents, and trademarks. The firm operated from its office located at 35104 Saddle Creek, Avon, OH 44011.
In 2015, Lindon’s career took a drastic turn when he began working as a pharmacist at the Cleveland Clinic. During this time, he was investigated for prescription drug theft. Surveillance footage revealed him removing hydrocodone tablets from a basket and placing them in his pocket. When confronted by authorities, Lindon ingested pills from his pocket, which led to the discovery of additional prescription drugs on his person. This incident marked the beginning of serious legal troubles for him.
In 2016, Lindon faced felony charges, including theft, drug possession, and tampering with evidence — He was indicted and subsequently convicted on all counts. The court sentenced him to two years of community control, which included mandatory drug testing, counseling, and treatment. Following his conviction, the Ohio Supreme Court imposed an interim suspension on his law license in June 2016, effectively barring him from practicing law in the state. The situation escalated in 2021 when the Ohio Supreme Court indefinitely suspended Lindon’s law license due to his felony convictions and failure to disclose a previous disbarment in Michigan. This suspension came with specific conditions for potential reinstatement.
Lindon was required to maintain sobriety, enter into a two-year drug-related contract with the Ohio Lawyer's Assistance Program (OLAP), submit to random drug screens, and participate in counseling with a qualified chemical-dependency professional. Additionally, he was responsible for paying the costs associated with the disciplinary proceedings. Throughout his career, Lindon was a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and demonstrated proficiency in Spanish, both spoken and written. As of February 2026, James Lee Lindon remains not authorized to practice law in Ohio due to his indefinite suspension, marking a significant fall from grace for an attorney who once had a promising career in law and pharmacy.
