Attorney Lee R. Mercer graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a major in Criminal Justice, concentrating on pre-law. He began practicing in personal injury after he earned his law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law. Lee is deeply proud of the numerous clients he has helped, building meaningful connections with co-workers, adjusters, and defense counsel along the way.
One notable achievement in his career was his successful battle against State Farm in an extremely contested liability case. Initially, State Farm was in complete denial and offered his client a mere $500 as a nuisance offer. Through meticulous arguments and compelling evidence, Lee managed to overturn the liability decision, resulting in a substantial settlement of over $24,000 for his client. This unexpected victory stands out as a testament to his dedication and skill.
Professionally, Lee is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Ohio Association for Justice, the Southwestern Ohio Trial Lawyers Association, and the Cincinnati Bar Association. He is licensed to practice law in both Kentucky and Ohio.
Lee grew up on a tobacco and dairy farm in Stanford, a small town in southcentral Kentucky. Much of his youth was spent helping his father on the farm and enjoying the outdoors with his family. His mother has been the biggest influence in his life, inspiring him to work hard and overcome obstacles with resilience and determination.
In his spare time, Lee enjoys spending quality time with his wife, family, and friends. He is a passionate fan of all Cincinnati sports and an avid collector of various items, ranging from trading cards to watches. He also prioritizes his health by staying active at an MMA and fitness gym in Cincinnati.
Marrying his wife is the best thing that has ever happened to Lee, while losing his best friend stands as the hardest experience he has faced. These significant events have shaped his perspective on life and work.
Lee dreams of owning a vacation home in Scotland or Ireland, combining his love for travel and the outdoors with his desire for new experiences and adventures. His greatest hope is to continue helping clients who have been injured by someone else’s negligence, working tirelessly to obtain recoveries that help them become as whole as possible.
With a strong dedication to his clients and a passion for justice, Lee R. Mercer continues to make a significant impact in the personal injury field.
