M. Lee Johnsey, Jr.

I am fortunate to represent a wide variety of clients. I regularly represent real estate developers, bank and non-bank lenders, business owners, title companies, land owners, creditors, gaming finance companies and operators, and tax credit syndicators. I also represent both tax sale purchasers and those seeking to redeem property from tax sales.

I work on a variety of matters that generally involve one of three areas: real estate, lending, or corporate matters. I work with real estate developers in all phases of a matter - from developing the new corporate entity that will hold the real estate, to purchasing, financing, leasing, and ultimately selling the project. During these phases, general corporate, employment, and other legal issues arise. Assisting clients in all phases of their business allows me to be a better member of their team and anticipate legal issues specific to that client.

On a personal level, I get to work with clients I enjoy being around and working with. I am truly fortunate to have that opportunity. From a subject matter perspective, I view the legal issues in my practice as a puzzle. I get to assist clients with individualized needs work through problems and craft solutions to meet their goals and to mitigate risk. Every day I get to work on something new.

I frequently represent clients in both state and federal courts throughout Alabama. Because much of my practice involves debt issues, I also appear before bankruptcy courts in Alabama to represent the interests of clients who are creditors. When a matter involves tax sales, I appear before probate courts to achieve a resolution of those issues.
