Personal
Lisa is a true “California girl” who was born and raised in the high desert town of Lancaster, California. She is one of three daughters and while growing up, her parents owned and operated a well-known dairy distributorship servicing many Southern California cities and towns.
The Wilson family was very active in the local Lancaster community, participating each year in numerous community service activities and all the big fundraisers. In high school, Lisa was a multi-sport scholar athlete and to this day her jersey hangs in her high school gym.
Lisa started her college career playing volleyball at Long Beach State and then transferred to the University of Southern California. At USC, Lisa developed an interest in the law and studied journalism and sports information. She also pledged the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. In 1982, she graduated with a major in journalism and minor in sports information.
Before law school, Lisa worked with a prominent sports agent, believing she would eventually enjoy a career representing professional athletes. While in law school, Lisa won the prestigious mock trial championship and also had the opportunity to study law abroad at Cambridge University in England.
Lisa graduated from Western State School of Law in 1986 and worked for several years at large and prestigious law firm practicing insurance defense. Over time, Lisa realized that her interest in the law focused more on helping victims of personal injury and wrongful death rather than representing and defending insurance companies and big business. She also had a keen interest in owning her own business and law firm.
