Attorney

After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center, Y. Gina Lisitsa. passed the California bar exam on the first try. Believing she could provide the most efficient and prompt legal services independent of a large firm environment, she went on her own in Los Angeles in 2002.

Prior to Lisitsa Law, Y. Gina Lisitsa. actively attained a wide variety of hands-on legal experience beginning as early as 1997. This includes second-chairing felony trials for the US Attorney’s Office, where she drafted motions and summaries, researched case law, and conducted witness conferences. She also gained extensive Supreme Court legal knowledge while interning at the CBS Evening News in Washington, DC, where her work included researching background on term 2000 cases and attending/drafting summaries on Supreme Court oral arguments and opinions.

Gina’s interest and pursuit of women’s human rights issues drove her to propose and develop legislation in Uganda that banned female genital mutilation, promoted equal rights within marriage, and criminalized the mistreatment of women.

Lisitsa Law was built on Gina’s passion for the litigation process and her uncompromising drive to see truth and fairness prevail. That’s why she immerses herself in all aspects of civil litigation, from extensive jury and court trials to arbitrations and mediations. Her perpetually expanding legal expertise combined with her meticulously organized, driven personality make her a highly effective attorney with a very impressive win/case ratio.
