Lee Kindlon, an Albany native, attended Williams College, where he played football and graduated in 1998 with a degree in History. After graduation, Lee attended the University of Connecticut School of Law. He concentrated his studies in Constitutional and Criminal Law and received his law degree in 2002.
Lee was admitted to practice in New York State in December 2002 and the District of Columbia in January 2008. He is also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York and he is certified to practice in all military courts.
After receiving his commission in the Marine Corps during law school, Lee returned to active duty in January 2003, and was stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. During his three and a half years on active duty with the Marines, Lee worked as a Judge Advocate, first in Legal Assistance, and then as the prosecutor for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. In September 2005, he deployed to Iraq as a Battalion Judge Advocate and was stationed in Fallujah until April 2006. Now a drilling reservist, Lee still adheres to the warrior ethos and the commitment to be Always Faithful.
Lee returned to Albany in June 2006 and joined Kindlon Shanks & Associates, focusing his practice on litigation. Since 2006, he has taken more than thirty jury trials to verdict. In both state and federal court, he has successfully represented clients accused of a range of charges from felony murder to narcotics trafficking, simple traffic tickets to DWI, and from petit larceny to grand larceny.
While he specializes in criminal defense, he applies the lessons learned on the battlefield in the Marine Corps and in the civilian courtroom for every client on every case.
