Minimizing risk is typically a goal of the type of law that Lee practices. Sometimes insurance policies can’t provide what legal tools can provide, and other times legal tools can’t provide the value that insurance can bring to people, businesses and farmers.

While sometimes successful people just seem to be lucky, often it’s a matter of smart planning and research that leads to success. Lee helps his clients analyze their liability insurance and to decide what additional legal tools are necessary and whether the client is appropriately insured or over-insured.

In representing people and businesses in the type of law that I most frequently practice, minimizing risk is usually a key goal. Minimizing risk usually includes some combination of traditional insurance (life, liability, long-term-care, health, disability and other types) and legal tools.

In some instances, even massive and comprehensive insurance policies cannot provide what limited liability companies and other legal tools can provide. Similarly, there is certain value that insurance brings to people, businesses and farmers that legal tools cannot provide.
