David “Lee” Myers is an Associate Attorney at CD LAW focused on tenant rights, landlord-tenant law, and habitability litigation. His legal career has centered on advocating for tenants and individuals facing housing instability, drawing on experience in eviction defense, fair housing, and community-based legal services.
Before joining CD LAW, Lee served as an attorney at Inner City Law Center in Los Angeles, where he primarily handled eviction defense matters. During his time there, he litigated numerous eviction cases to dismissal and gained courtroom experience handling matters on behalf of tenants. He also participated in a week-long jury trial, giving him firsthand experience with trial preparation, courtroom advocacy, and litigation strategy.
Lee earned his Juris Doctor from Belmont University College of Law in 2025. During law school, he developed a strong focus on public-interest and housing law. He helped establish Belmont Law’s first Habitability Clinic and served as Clinic Coordinator for the school’s Legal Aid Society. His commitment to public service earned him Belmont Law’s Heart of Public Service Award and the Tennessee Bar Association’s 2025 Law Student Volunteer of the Year Award. He also completed the Tennessee Law Student Pro Bono Pledge.
Throughout law school, Lee clerked with the Tennessee Fair Housing Council and Middle Tennessee Legal Aid Society. His work included eviction defense, fair housing matters, criminal record expungement, and domestic violence divorce cases. These experiences helped shape his commitment to representing tenants and communities that often face significant barriers to legal representation.
Lee earned his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Berea College in 2020. While at Berea, he received the Fred Oscanyan Scholarship in Philosophy and was a recipient of the D.B. Bernice Robertson Fund Philosophy Scholarship.
Outside of his direct legal work, Lee has remained involved in tenant advocacy and community organizing. In Nashville, he participated in the People’s Alliance for Transit, Housing, and Employment and helped organize court-watch efforts. He also worked with Red Door Collective/Renter’s Union Nashville, where he helped publicize eviction data that was later highlighted by Princeton University’s Eviction Lab. In Los Angeles, he has worked with the Los Angeles Tenants Union, providing legal support and helping organize tenant associations.
Today, Lee brings that combination of litigation experience, tenant advocacy, fair-housing work, and community involvement to CD LAW’s habitability practice, where he advocates for renters facing unsafe housing conditions and landlord-tenant disputes.

“Very satisfied with Custodio and Dubey for handling my case. My attorney Miguel Custodio and paralegal Rosa were very helpful when it came to answering any questions or concerns I had about my case and made sure I was completely A-okay with my settlement before closing the tab. Would totally recommend Custodio and Dubey to my friend and I would totally recommend them to you guys. Very professional.”
“I asked to meet with Miguel and Vineet to see if I had a case. They gladly met with me to go over my case. From the beginning, they were honest, responsive, and sensitive to my needs. They represented me against a big company and did so aggressively. Their quick and decisive strategy proved to be successful. They were able to achieve a great result for me.”
“First and formal I would like to thank Custodio & Dubey for being very helpful, communicating, and being straightforward with my case. They solved my case with no issues. Second I want to thank Daniel for being very helpful. He kept me updated every time as the case was moving forward. In terms of my therapy, MRI, X-ray, and how I was feeling as I was progressing physically. He [Daniel] was always informing me in regards to my insurance and any documentation he [Daniel] needed for the case to move on and be settled little by little. Overall I highly recommend Custodio & Dubey as your trusted attorneys for any case you have. They will definitely take care of you. All their staff will treat you like family. Thank you Custodio & Dubey/ Daniel.”
“My mother and I had the utmost pleasure of working closely with Rosa. Rosa’s work ethic and professionalism are beyond admirable. She never failed to communicate with us regarding the progress of the case, nor did she ever hesitate to answer any legal questions we had. Custodio & Dubey was recommended to us by a friend, and we are glad we took the recommendation. It is unbelievably difficult to find a team that is really going to work with you, and we were fortunate to have worked with such a highly respected and well-organized firm. I definitely recommend this team for anyone in need of a personal injury.”
