EDUCATION AND PRE-LAW SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
Lisa Figueroa has dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of
others. This began on a smaller scale and has now escalated through
being the voice for her clients. This process took shape during her
studies at the University of Central Florida where she graduated cum
laude and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science.
Understanding the political framework in which we live and how to make
changes where changes need to be made was the driving force in choosing
that educational path. In obtaining that degree Mrs. Figueroa's studies
incorporated several areas of legal studies including legal research and
writing, Florida criminal law and procedure, Florida evidence,
constitutional law, and judicial process and politics.
Lisa received a Juris Doctorate from Florida State in 2003. Her
preparation for her Juris Doctorate included extensive studies in the
area of 4th Amendment protections and constitutional law in
general. In addition, her focus not only extended to the areas of both
state and federal criminal law, but also products liability, employment
law, employment discrimination, and immigration law.
While in law school, Lisa Figueroa was actively involved in several
civil minded organizations, all promoting those ideals that fuel her
desire to practice law. Lisa was Vice-Justice of Phi Alpha Delta, board
member of the Public Interest Law Student Association, active member of
the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Spanish American Law Student
Association. During her time in law school, she received the honor of a
Book Award for receiving the top grade in Law & Public Opinion. Lisa was
also chosen to be a member of the Journal for Transnational Law and
Policy
POST-LAW SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
After graduating from law school and upon passing the bar, Lisa was
hired by the Ninth Circuit’s Office of the Public Defender. Her
experience there greatly exposed her to several facets of criminal law,
both in and out of the courtroom. She obtained the highest number of
trials during that time span among her starting class and had an
exceptionally high level of success in those trials for her clients. In
2003, Lisa was awarded the Legal Eagle Award of County Court from the
Public Defender’s Office in appreciation for her outstanding achievement
and dedicated service
Lisa Figueroa is originally from Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, and is fluent
