I know Lisa to be a highly competent employment lawyer, especially in the area of disability and disability discrimination law. Lisa is always my "go to" person when I have a client with needs in this area.

Lisa is a respected colleague in the field of employment law. She and I have served on an employment lawyers' board together. Though she is competent in employment law generally, she has a superb reputation among those of us practicing in the field for her knowledge in areas pertaining to medical issues (such as disability claims, family and medical leave, etc.) I recommend her.
