Lee graduated from Lamar High School, class of 1969. In the fall of 1969, he joined the U.S. Army where he served until the spring of 1972. He was stationed in Korea as well as Germany.

Continuing his education, Lee entered Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where he graduated Cum Laude with the degree of Juris Doctor.

In the early 1980’s Lee opened his practice of law as a criminal defense attorney, which he continued until his recent retirement.
