Her practice focuses on litigation of commercial and real property for creditors and other small businesses in both state and federal court. She has an in-depth knowledge of the relevant law in these areas, including the Truth In Lending Act, The Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act, and The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

 

In 2020, Lisa joined CSG Law as a litigation associate in the Equipment Lease and Finance Practice Group and in 2022 joined the Trusts and Estates Practice Group.
