Lee and Lee Attorneys

The story is told that Robert E. Lee acquired the building in which the firm practices by somewhat of an accident. In 1977, Mr. Lee was walking in front of 109 East Gay Street one morning to get a cup of coffee at the Ideal City Cafe. The building was being auctioned while he was walking by. The auctioneer shouted to Mr. Lee to make a bid so, Mr. Lee made a bid but kept walking to get his cup of coffee. After buying his coffee and without giving the auction any more thought, Mr. Lee ventured back to his office. As he walked back in front of the building, the auctioneer informed Mr. Lee that he was the proud new owner. Lee and Lee Attorneys has been housed in that building ever since.
