About Our Partners
Lee, Myers & O’Connell, LLP has founding partners who provide their own background that helps serve our clients. Partners John T O’Connell, Sanghun Lee, and Brett Myers all serve the community — both in the courtroom and out.
When Partner John T O’Connell isn’t helping our clients, he can be found in the air or underwater. As a lawyer, commercial pilot, and scuba diver, John offers unique experience to take on personal injury cases for aviation and scuba accidents.
While his results have earned him national recognition and awards, he began his career in Boston and opened O’Connell and Associates in Massachusetts, Florida, and Hawaii before joining the Colorado law firm of Lee, Meyers & O’Connell, LLP as a founding partner.
Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Partner Sanghun Lee speaks both Korean and English. Mr. Lee is passionate about serving the city of Aurora through the Aurora Sister Cities program for Aurora and Seongnam City, South Korea. This program promotes cultural, educational, and economic exchanges between the two entities.
Before he became a founding partner of Lee, Myers & O’Connell, LLP, Sanghun worked at a personal injury law firm from 2004 until 2014.
Previously a Professor of Law at Yeungnam University in Yeungnam, South Korea, partner Brett Myers is also involved in the Korean-American community. He serves on the board for the Korean Academy of Colorado. This school teaches Korean language and culture to Korean-Americans, Korean-American adoptees, and others who have a special connection to the Korean community. Brett also serves on the board of St. Anna’s Home, an assisted living facility in Aurora, Colorado, run by the Korean chapter of Sisters of Charity, St. Vincent de Paul.
Mr. Myers has studied Korean, French, and Spanish. He studied French at the L’Université catholique de l’Ouest in Angers, France. He has been practicing as an attorney in Colorado since 2004, specializing in personal injury law.
