  • OVERVIEW

  • ADMISSION

  • AWARDS

Lee Coleman, a distinguished attorney with over 40 years of experience, earned his law degree in 1981 and has since built a reputable career focusing on personal injury law. For more than 35 years, Lee has championed the rights of the injured, becoming a partner with Ron Bell Injury Lawyers in 2008. Today, as the Managing Partner, Lee is steadfast in his mission to “protect injured people and their families from getting screwed by corporations and big insurance”.

During the first two years in his career, Mr. Coleman served as a prosecutor, honing his skills in criminal, traffic, and juvenile cases. With approximately 50 jury trials under his belt, he developed an impressive track record against well-prepared defense attorneys. This invaluable experience paved the way for his transition into private practice. By 1984, Lee had launched his own firm, providing an empathetic approach to clients facing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Many of his clients were ordinary individuals facing hard times due to job loss or catastrophic medical expenses.

With a keen understanding of legal marketing, Lee trailblazed the use of classified ads in the early 1980s, offering competitive rates for bankruptcy cases. His innovative approach extended to personal injury law by the mid-1980s, where his television advertisements helped him connect with victims seeking justice. During this period, Lee led more than 20 jury cases to verdicts, consistently advocating for clients who found themselves in challenging situations – not only financially, but also dealing with injuries and healthcare access.

As Managing Partner of Ron Bell Injury Lawyers, Lee’s relentless pursuit of maximum compensation for clients is well-documented. He understands the crucial importance of ensuring clients receive necessary medical care and are protected from unjust insurance settlements. His dedication to excellence has earned him the prestigious AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell™, a testament to his competence in the personal injury field.

Since 1992, Lee Coleman has led the M&L Legal Marketing and Management seminar, a biannual gathering where personal injury lawyers share insights and strategies for client representation. The July 2025 meeting was in Banff, Canada, further solidifying his role as a leader in legal marketing.

Interestingly, the partnership with Ron Bell began at an early M&L seminar, where both shared a zeal for client advocacy. Their collaboration continues to thrive, with Ron Bell’s attendance at recent seminars illustrating a mutual commitment to learning and preventing unfair treatment of the injured by large corporations and insurers.

In addition to his role at Ron Bell Injury Lawyers, Lee is also a proud co-owner and managing partner of Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers, serving clients across Kentucky and Tennessee. Outside the courtroom, Lee cherishes time with his family – his wife, the Honorable JoAnn Spinks Coleman, a retired judge, and their three sons, each successful in their respective professions, two of whom, Andrew and Ben, are practicing attorneys and practice alongside him. His third son, Johnathan is a physician in Chicago. Whether golfing, biking, or skiing, Lee remains active, and also enjoys spending time with his grandchildren who keep him on his toes.
