(1970 - 2026)

For more than two decades as an attorney at Cook Brown, Lisa devoted her career to serving employers throughout California, providing thoughtful legal counsel, practical solutions, and steadfast advocacy. She was widely respected for her deep knowledge of employment law, her unwavering integrity, and her ability to guide clients through their most challenging workplace issues with wisdom and compassion.

Many of Lisa's clients came to view her as far more than their attorney. She was a trusted advisor who worked tirelessly to resolve workplace disputes promptly and creatively so her clients could get back to work. Her calm demeanor, strategic insight, and genuine concern for those she served earned the trust and loyalty of clients throughout her career.

Within Cook Brown, Lisa was equally admired as a leader, mentor, and friend. She generously shared her knowledge with colleagues, supported the development of younger attorneys, and approached every challenge with determination and grace. Her professionalism and dedication helped shape the culture of our firm and left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Beyond her legal practice, Lisa was deeply committed to serving her community. She volunteered her time and expertise through numerous organizations, including the Sacramento County Bar Association Pro Bono Committee, the Voluntary Legal Services Program Employment Law Clinic, the Anthony M. Kennedy American Inn of Court, and the Gordon D. Schaber Mock Trial & Moot Court Competition. Through these efforts, she helped strengthen the legal profession and expand access to justice for others.

Lisa also brought the same determination and perseverance to her personal pursuits. An accomplished athlete, she competed in several triathlons, including two Ironman races.

We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have known and worked with Lisa. Her contributions to our clients, our profession, our community, and our firm will not be forgotten. Her legacy continues to inspire the work we do every day and the values we strive to uphold.
