Born in High Point, North Carolina, Lisa earned both her undergraduate and law degrees from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Lisa began her legal career practicing insurance defense at a large Triangle-area law firm.

She is especially passionate about supporting individuals experiencing homelessness and veterans, with her firm engaging in weekly outreach efforts across the state to help connect people with benefits and essential services.

A respected media voice, Lisa appears regularly on local television and radio discussing legal issues in the news. She holds the title of "Official Attorney" on 107.5 KZL and 92.3 Rock92, where she hosts the popular "Lawyer Up" segment—nationally syndicated and available as a podcast—offering insightful and often lighthearted legal commentary. She is also a recurring guest lecturer on Journalism Law at Wake Forest University.
