Streetwatch vs Amtrak
I dealt with Lisa back in the early 90"s on the Streetwatch vs Amtrak case. Lisa was very helpful in our winning this lawsuit n Im happy to have known her during our case.
"Lisa is an institution, one of those rare lawyers who works to improve the criminal justice system every day. I look to her for advice and inspiration. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
