Ruth Jackson Lee, Esq.

Ruth's a consumer rights attorney with extensive knowledge of the insurance industry and inner workings of the corporate world. While some young people dreamed of being ninjas or hot air balloon pilots, Ruth was first inspired to be an attorney when reading the classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird” in sixth grade. She was drawn to the role lawyers could play in helping individuals and furthering the public good. The book sparked a desire to join the legal profession, and fueled her (slightly dorky) love of “the law.”

This pursuit led Ruth to Liberty University, where she was a member of the nationally-acclaimed collegiate debate team (along with her future husband and now law partner, Jared). By the time she graduated from the Honor’s Program at 18, she had earned multiple first-place tournament championships in her division, most notably at the American Debate Association National Tournament and Cross Examination Debate Association Nationals.

Upon graduation, Ruth studied at FSU College of Law. There, she served as a legal writing teacher's assistant, held significant positions on journals and participated on the moot court team. She also made it across the pond to spend a summer semester at Oxford University to eat her weight in fish and chips.

Ruth ultimately accepted a position at one of the largest law firms in the South. There, she handled hundreds of insurance and business cases. After cultivating her skills with some of the best attorneys in the field, Ruth launched Jackson Lee | PA in 2013 to pioneer a cutting-edge law firm. She has since written several articles on legal matters including "Privacy Laws in the Dawn of the Drone Age." She has also been a speaker for large companies and organizations, including the Florida Bar, and served as a guest on a podcast regarding social media law. This fall, she'll serve as an adjunct professor teaching Consumer Protection Law at FSU College of Law.

Behind the scenes, Ruth is a mom to four future world-changers. She’s also an undercover tuba player and lover of all things upcycled, with an astonishing wardrobe of black shirts. She’s seemingly never in anything but a good mood, except for when she turns on “beast-mode” in the courtroom.
