Michael Bell

As the Director of Client Relations, Michael leads the client relations & support teams and also serves on the firm's Executive Team. He joined L&B in December 2013 and spends most days in the trenches with the Team fielding client emails and phone calls along with working with corporate leadership for various management clients to provide the best experience for their teams. His favorite part of his job is engaging with clients either through education or while traveling for the firm.

Before L&B (and the original Brownlee Law Firm, where Michael started his career in the legal space), he worked in Communications at the Medical University of South Carolina, where the most interesting part of the job was hearing patients tell him way more about their issues than he needed (or wanted) to hear.

Michael was honored to be the recipient of the Charleston Apartment Association's Prestigious Pineapple Award in 2019, the same year he graduated from the CAA Lead Class. He received his NAA CAS Certification in October 2020, and in 2021, he was the recipient of the CAA 2020 Supplier of the Year Award. In 2022, he was elected to serve on the Charleston Apartment Association Board of Directors, where he currently serves as Co-Chair on the Education Committee.

When not at work, he enjoys spending time with his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, enjoying anything Disney related, or exploring National Parks and anything brewed with his amazing wife and partner of 30+ years.
