Attorney Lisa Mitts Patrick
I graduated with Scholastic Merit from Western State University, College of Law, Fullerton, in 1987, in the top 12% of my graduating class. I acted as Co-Director, and participated in the founding of the University women's law association, aiding charitable organizations, and bringing women's issues to the forefront of student awareness. As a result of my involvement, I had the opportunity to meet many influential people, including Municipal and Superior Court judges and community lawyers.
I obtained my undergraduate degree from California State University, Fullerton in 1984. I resided for twenty-five years in the City of Fullerton, for seven years lived in the South Orange County area of Rancho Santa Margarita, and for the past ten years here again in Fullerton with my husband and three children.
I have worked previously in a family law practice, and from 1985 to 1991, with the highly regarded law firm of Allen & Flatt, in plaintiffs' personal injury and insurance matters (pre-litigation and litigation). I started my solo practice in 1991, specializing in bodily injury, disability, and insurance-related claims, including auto accidents, premises liability (slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall), medical professional negligence and wrongful death. I also engage to a lesser degree, in general legal practice including family law, probate, wills and living trusts, contract, collection and business matters.
I am admitted to practice before the California Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Federal Court.) I am a member of the California Bar Association, the Orange County Bar Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, and the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association. I was a member of the adjunct faculty of Western State University, College of Law, Irvine, having taught legal writing courses. I am a Judge Pro Tem for the Orange County and Los Angeles County Superior Courts, assisting judges with mediation and settlement of civil disputes and bench work in evictions, small claims and traffic matters.
I am also known as Elizabeth.
