Lee Partners Law Launches to Fight for Injured Workers Using Insider Defense Knowledge
Lee Partners Law: Injury Attorneys LLP brings a family-owned, client-first approach backed by decades of inside insurance defense experience. A new California law firm is opening its doors with a bold mission: to protect injured workers using the same insider strategies once used against them. Lee Partners Law: Injury Attorneys LLP, founded by brothers David A. Lee and Michael Lee, launches today with a statewide focus on workers' compensation cases—and a deep commitment to fighting for working families. What sets the firm apart is the background of its founders. Both attorneys spent over two decades combined defending insurance companies and major employers. Now, the brothers are putting that knowledge to use on the other side—helping injured workers navigate a system that's often confusing, unfair, and stacked against them. 'We're brothers, business partners, and former defense attorneys who've sat inside insurance war rooms,' said David Lee, Founding Attorney. 'We know exactly how those companies try to reduce or deny claims. And now we're using everything we learned to protect the people they overlook—injured workers.' Headquartered in Los Angeles and serving all of California, Lee Partners Law is a family-run practice built on trust, integrity, and aggressive legal representation. The firm's focus is 100% workers' compensation law, handling everything from denied claims and delayed treatment to serious injuries and maximum-value settlements. The Lees say their approach combines hard-hitting strategy with personalized, compassionate service—something they believe only a small, family-led firm can provide. 'We're not a giant corporate office. We're two brothers who grew up together, work side by side, and care deeply about every client who walks through our doors,' added Michael Lee, Partner. 'This firm is personal to us—and that makes us fight even harder.' Lee Partners Law is proud to represent the workers who keep cities running. These are the people who power California every day, and they deserve someone in their corner when they get hurt on the job.

CUPE- A Letter to Ontario Workers
Article content TORONTO — Dear Ontario Workers, As the president of Ontario Compensation Employees Union, a proud member of CUPE, I represent over 3600 workers at the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB). Article content Article content Workplace Safety & Insurance Board employees serve workers, their families, and employers in Ontario, providing compensation for loss of earnings, benefits and health care coverage to eligible employees who suffered an injury or illness because of their job. Article content Before I was elected to represent this hard-working group, I worked as a case manager myself. It was my job to make sure injured workers, and their families got the support they needed. That's what most people know about the WSIB. Article content At 19, I lost half of my hearing because of a traumatic incident in a factory. I learned that injured workers need a conscientious WSIB worker looking out for their best interest. This is what my colleagues take pride in doing for injured workers in Ontario. Article content I'm sitting somewhere no union president wants to be; talking to the people of Ontario about the possibility that we could be forced to withdraw our labor from the place where we work and to pause the critical services we provide to this province. Article content This isn't something we take lightly. Every one of my coworkers wakes up in the morning thinking about the needs of Ontario's injured workers, and when we end our workday, we don't just turn that off. Article content The workers we serve aren't just names and medical records in a file. They are real people who have suffered a traumatic injury, been exposed to disease at work or in some cases lost their life. Those workers and their families need our help to make it through what can be one of the most challenging times in anyone's life. Article content We take that responsibility incredibly seriously. Article content We take pride in the fact that our organization is in a surplus position and has no unfunded liabilities. The WSIB is not funded by taxpayers. Funding comes solely from Ontario Employers. Our negotiations have ZERO impact on the Ontario budget. Article content I am calling on the Ford government and the WSIB CEO and Board of Directors to do their job and get these negotiations on the right path. To do what's right, and what's good for their workforce, good for the organization and the Ontarians we serve. Article content Too many of my coworkers are running on fumes due to work overload in a toxic environment as validated by a third-party survey. Article content When the workers who deliver the very services Ontarians rely on are struggling, it has an unavoidable impact on service delivery. I know we can do better. We must do better! Article content We urgently need resources and investment in training so that we can improve delivery of service. Once we do that, employee wellness will also improve. Article content The WSIB has been around for over 100 years and has never been on strike before. But things are so bad that my coworkers came out in a show of force to deliver a 96% strike vote with an over 85% participation rate. If we need to take legal strike action, we will be ready. Article content The union's decision to commence strike action will be informed by what happens in the coming days of bargaining. It was management that filed a surprise request to terminate the collective agreement. Our bargaining team has negotiated an extension for the negotiations until May 21st. We are committed to reaching a fair deal for our members, but we need a willing partner at the table to make that happen. Article content The WSIB is dreaming if they think we will accept a deal that includes employer cuts, that fails to address the very real and systemic work overload problem, micromanagement and that does not include fair compensation. Low employee morale at WSIB cannot be addressed by clawing back provisions in our collective agreement. But that is what WSIB is trying to do. Article content Workers have all too often observed management rationalize their raises and bonuses. It's workers who feel the sting of inflation. No one should be asked to do with less. Article content If the WSIB cannot present an offer that respects my coworkers and our needs, we will be forced to take legal strike action. Article content We don't want that to happen. Nothing concerns us more than the effect that job action might have on injured workers who need our help. We will do our best to mitigate those effects, we can't allow our employer to exploit our compassion for injured workers to force a deal that puts us even further behind. And we know Ontarians don't want this. Article content We are ready to do whatever it takes to get a deal. We've got amazing allies across the province. We hope the WSIB can see what the rest of us see and prevent this from happening.
