Welcome to Lee County Bar Association!
Established in 1949, the Lee County Bar Association was formed as a voluntary organization of attorneys living and working in Lee County, Florida. Since its founding, the membership has grown to nearly 1,000 and includes attorneys in adjacent counties whose clients have business and court issues in Lee County. The purpose of the organization is to further the education of its members, create meaningful interaction among its members, and to inform the community on important legal matters. The Lee County Bar Association supports the citizens of Lee County in many ways, including but not limited to:
- Free legal clinics on important topics of local interest
- Promotes the Rule of Law with student programs such as Moot Court and annual Mock Trial competitions, and School Speakers for Constitution Week
- Provides a Lawyer Referral Service to connect the public with qualified attorneys
