Lisa is no stranger to life challenges with her biggest challenges of all – being simultaneously and dually diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis at the young age of 36 years old.
What strikes people most when they meet Lisa is that she prefers to focus on thriving, not just surviving, through life’s trials and tribulations by being centered on gratitude and “Looking for the gifts within” every life challenge.
“I bring a perspective of care and compassion to those I come in contact with because I understand the challenge of being thrown a huge curve ball when going through everyday life. I strive to serve as an inspiration to others in showing that you can overcome whatever life throws at you and come out even better on the other side.”

Lisa’s advice cuts through traditional thinking and lends new perspectives on how to get a better settlement, that many lawyers may not even be aware of, which has led her to be interviewed by the media including CNBC.com, Business Week, The NY Times, First for Women, Forbes Women’s and Oprah magazines, as well as being a sought after radio show guest and public speaker.
