Serving and Supporting the Community - The Lee County Bar Association


An experienced civil trial attorney, Steve Koeppel has practiced for almost three decades in and around Fort Myers, Florida. In addition to his work as an attorney, Steve Koeppel is also member of the Lee County Bar Association (LCBA), and has presented on ways to prepare an expert for cross examination.

With almost 800 members throughout Lee County, Florida, the LCBA was established in 1927 as the Fort Myers Bar Association. As part of the organization’s benefits, members are invited to join one of the practice sections or committees - in areas like tort litigation, criminal law, and appellate law, among others - to share and expand their knowledge and expertise. A nonprofit organization, the LCBA also emphasizes participation in community service projects and pro bono opportunities.

One of the Lee County Bar Association’s main community service projects is the annual charity golf tournament, which is sponsored in conjunction with the Young Lawyers Division. As part of a larger event, which also includes an auction and lunch, the tournament has raised thousands of dollars since its inception in 2010. Open to the public, the 2016 event will benefit the Guardian Ad Litem Foundation 20th Judicial Circuit.
