Lee R. Montion

Lee R. Montion, the co-author of this book and partner at the Law Offices of Michael Gopin, PLLC. is an El Paso native. Lee Montion didn’t start his career in the field of personal injury law. In fact, his compassion for individuals and families struggling to cope with tragedy began when he worked as a funeral director earlier in his career. He saw families trying to pick up the pieces and make important decisions after tragic, life-altering events. This is why he knows how crucial it is to have a steady, guiding hand during difficult times.

Like many people, Lee’s first experience with the law was through television. He watched the TV series L.A. Law of the late 1980s and early 1990s with his mom. He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing before working in the funeral business for six years. Eventually, he decided to follow his calling and earned his Juris Doctorate from Texas A&M School of Law in 2009.

There are many aspects of Lee’s job that he enjoys. But mostly, he loves helping people. “When people are hurt and they can’t work and don’t know how they’re going to pay their bills, they’re in a pretty stressful time of need,” he says. Lee knows what a difference he can make in these people’s lives. He and the legal team at the Law Offices of Michael J. Gopin, PLLC, work hard to take the pressure off clients, answer their questions, and give them confidence that their case is in good hands.

In his leisure time, Lee plays golf. He is happily married to Jessica with two kids, a boy and a girl, and another boy on the way.
