A very nice headline and impactful about the attorney goes right here
Mr. Lee was born in Toledo, OH, but has now spent the majority of his life here in South Florida where he lives with his family and manages his law practice. He attended the University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, and Florida State University during undergraduate school and obtained two majors prior to attending law school in Orlando, Florida.
Robert is licensed to practice law in the State of Florida as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He is also eligible to practice before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Robert is a member of the Florida Trial Lawyers Association, the Dade County Bar Association, and the Miami-Dade Trial Lawyers Association. Mr. Lee has been published in a host of legal areas and various legal publications over the years, has tried numerous cases to jury verdict, and is no stranger to the courtroom.
In his free time outside the Courthouse, Mr. Lee enjoys spending every available minute with his family and their two dogs (also family members).
A Nationally Respected Legal Architect
Peers describe Robert as “a master storyteller in the courtroom,” “ethically fearless,” and “the architect of modern trial strategy in Nevada.” His visionary work has helped transform jury selection, trial presentation, and mass tort litigation in America. He is a sought-after lecturer on trial advocacy, jury psychology, product liability, and catastrophic injury law, and he regularly trains the next generation of plaintiff trial lawyers.
Robert’s creative and fearless legal strategy was never more evident than in the aftermath of the 2008 Las Vegas Hepatitis C outbreak. While others sued clinics and doctors, Robert targeted the pharmaceutical companies behind the contaminated drug that caused the outbreak—bypassing Nevada’s medical malpractice caps and securing four blockbuster verdicts, including the largest personal injury verdicts in the United States in 2010 and 2013. His efforts led to nationwide healthcare reforms, including changes to CDC guidelines and pharmaceutical packaging protocols.
A Leader in Complex Litigation and National Settlements
In the wake of the 1 October mass shooting, Robert was among the first attorneys in the country to act. Within days, he filed a class-action lawsuit against the bump stock manufacturer, putting them out of business, and became lead counsel, coordinating a nationwide legal response. Despite skepticism, he pursued MGM Resorts—ultimately leading to a landmark $800 million settlement and sweeping security reforms across MGM properties.
When the opioid crisis devastated Nevada, Robert advised the state and local governments to opt out of the federal MDL & settlements and pursue its own litigation. That strategy paid off: he secured $1.3 billion in opioid settlements, helping Nevada fund treatment programs and public health initiatives for those most affected. The settlement Robert secured for Nevada was 7 to 10 times the amount per capita than any other state recovered.
