About Lisa
Biography
I have practiced employment law for over 20 years in big and small law firms and in-house. I launched my own law firm in part because when I was the in-house client, I was dissatisfied with the lack of responsiveness, strategic planning, and billing practices of outside counsel. Personal attention, responsiveness and cost-effective solutions for our clients are our number one priority.

Thorough and effective!
I engaged Ms. Sherman to research and present a legal education course on the subject of legal ethics in the age of social media. She did an outstanding job. She researched the topic very thoroughly and developed a highly informative presentation on the subject.
Lisa Gail Sherman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Lisa Sherman. She is my go-to attorney for employment law matters in Los Angeles."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Lisa is smart, makes herself available day or night for her clients, and is always looking for the most cost-effective solution. For employers, she has achieved unimaginable results in tough cases that would likely be churned by other lawyers at reasonable hourly rates minimally staffed. For employees, she uses her 20 plus years as a defense attorney to be more effective than the most seasoned plaintiff’s employment attorneys. With her big firm, small firm and in-house experience as an employment lawyer, she is clearly experienced, but what makes her stand out is that her clients adore her, even after experiencing some of the most emotionally and financially difficult times in their lives. She is my go to employment attorney."
"Lisa Sherman is an excellent lawyer and workplace investigator. She did a great job for us in a sensitive matter. I would highly recommend her."
