Profile

More

Flora Lee always strives toward what she believes to be the right or best path, not the path of least resistance. Her drive to be better and do more, combined with her keen analytical ability, allows her to visualize and work to implement her clients’ goals.

Flora was drawn to the legal profession by its unique combination of intellectual challenges, real-life stakes, and interpersonal collaboration. She works to understand her clients’ concerns even beyond the immediate case at hand, and to bring solutions that fit within their bigger picture.

Prior to joining Stein Sperling, Flora clerked for the Honorable Irma S. Raker at the Supreme Court of Maryland, formerly known as the Maryland Court of Appeals. Before pursuing her legal career, she researched and taught philosophy at Cornell University and started a consulting business in the Canadian education industry. Flora speaks fluent Korean.
