About Lisa
Biography
I have been a trial attorney for over 20 years and have been board certified as a civil trial attorney. I am committed to advocating and helping victims who are injured through the neglect of others or have lost a loved one due to the responsibility of others. I bring a unique perspective to handling cases for those that are injured. For many years, I represented physicians, nurses and hospitals defending medical malpractice cases. I know firsthand how medical negligence cases are defended and can anticipate or predict the defense to help build the strongest case possible. As a young lawyer, I worked in-house for one of the largest automobile insurers in the country defending drivers in automobile collisions. I know how the large corporations work. I handle a broad scope of cases from major medical malpractice cases and nursing home neglect cases to catastrophic automobile and trucking cases. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your possible case or to learn more about me and my firm.
