About May Y
May Y Lee built her legal foundation at the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she earned her J.D. She had previously completed both a master’s and a bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, studying general education and English education. Those degrees gave her a grounding in clear communication and instruction, skills she carried into the courtroom and client meetings.
After law school she moved into criminal defense work. Colleagues and clients see a lawyer who prepares cases methodically. She joined the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2017 and has been active in professional circles since. In 2020 she became a member of the National College for DUI Defense, a group oriented around advocacy in impaired-driving cases. That same year she was listed among the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, a recognition that highlighted younger attorneys engaged in trial work.
Her approach combines courtroom advocacy and careful case review. She spends time on the record, handling motions, negotiating resolutions and, when necessary, taking cases to trial. Her academic background in education informs how she explains complex legal issues to people who are often seeing the court system for the first time. She emphasizes practical steps and clear options rather than legalese.
Lee practices from LEE LAW FIRM LLC. The firm handles matters at the state level, representing clients in criminal and impaired-driving proceedings. She works with clients from the early stages of arrest through post-conviction procedures when appropriate. Peers note that she maintains regular professional engagement, attending seminars and training aimed at trial work and DUI defense.
Outside the courtroom she continues to participate in professional organizations that shape criminal defense practice in Wisconsin and beyond. Those memberships provide continuing education and forums for case strategy and ethics discussion. Her record of involvement reflects a path centered on court experience and sustained learning.
She now serves clients at LEE LAW FIRM LLC, concentrating her practice on criminal defense and DUI matters.
