Background

The Honorable Immigration Judge Adrien Lee-Lo earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2005 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a Juris Doctor in 2011 from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, and is a member of the New York State Bar. From 2022 to 2026 he served as an assistant district attorney at the Kings County District Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, New York, and earlier worked as in-house counsel at GEICO Insurance Agency LLC in Hicksville, New York, as a litigation associate at Boyko & Associates PC, and in legal compliance and civil litigation involving financial institutions. Judge Lee-Lo was appointed an immigration judge in May 2026, as part of the class of 77 immigration judges invested by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and assigned to the New York Immigration Court. This profile was compiled through independent primary-source research - EOIR's class-of-77 biographical release plus public bar records - because a standard individual biography for this judge was not published on EOIR's website, which is uncommon.
