“Growing up, my family taught me to always stand up, speak up and fight for yourself and always do the same for those who are not able to fight for themselves. I believe this value led me to become an attorney. I focus on representing personal injury victims and workers’ compensation clients because these individuals are at their most vulnerable unexpectedly. While they endure suffering, their rights need strong protection and a voice to fight for their best interests, especially when facing todays’ culture of corporate entities. While they focus on healing, I focus on achieving the best possible result for their situation.” -Lisa A. McNaughton
