Attorney Chris Lee on Doing It Right: Confidence & the Power of the Process | Living Your Legacy

He lost all his confidence in high school. Then Chris Lee discovered what happens when you fall in love with the process. In this episode of Living Your Legacy, Greg Weimer sits down with Chris Lee — Managing Director and COO of Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote, one of Pittsburgh's most respected law firms. Chris walks through the years he spent drifting, the moment Duquesne Law School turned everything around, and the three-decade career that followed — including leading the defense in the Chi-Chi's hepatitis A outbreak, one of the largest in U.S. history. The conversation comes back to what matters most: the lunch table where young lawyers got mentored every day, the wife who made the career possible, and the father who set the standard.
