David Lee is a divorce lawyer with Stern, Lockhart & Gardner and an equity partner. He is the head of the family law division, which is responsible for a sizeable chunk of the firm's income so he has more sway than Diane Lockhart or Will Gardner would like.David is generally in a bad mood. He scowls, pouts, whines, bitches and connives when he doesn't think things are going his way. More than anything, he is concerned with making money.He particularly hates Julius Cane, the firm's head of litigation and an equity partner. Nevertheless, at rare moments, Alicia Florrick turns to him for help and he comes through.
