We never got a glimpse into David Lee's personal life

He's single I believe and does not have children.

I feel like David Lee was supposed to be a pure antagonist. The only soft side we ever saw of him was how he reacted to Will's death. Even then, he wasn't particularly nice to those two female staffers when he told them to get out.

If we piece together all of seven years, I guarantee you that he's a very lonely and angry man. a single one at that.

Definitely single -- he says (S4, to Alicia's mother, when he's advising her on money) that he's too selfish to get married. I'm binge-watching and up to S5 E4, no info -- apart from the niece, whom he loves (he makes a point of saying that to Eli, who was giving the niece a hard time), and about being single -- no other info about his life.

"All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people."

He stated he is a conservative at Diane Lockhart's astonishment.
I understand he is jewish, saying he did not want to get politically involved with people close to an anti - Israel organization.
His niece was hired at Lockhart & Gardner.

In the later seasons there were jokes made between other employees that he was gay. When their emails were hacked it was revealed that Julius Cain had referred to him as a 'fruitcake'. I believe that's the first time this subject came up but it wasn't the last.

Just an obnoxious jew...the legal industry is full of such shysters.
