Lisa Sechelski is a passionate and aggressive advocate for her clients. Lisa’s interest in litigation began early in her law school career. During her second year of law school, she applied to the University of Houston Law Center Civil Litigation Clinic where she began developing her skills in and out of the courtroom. Lisa participated in her first bench trials as a student attorney under the supervision of the clinic staff attorneys. She participated in numerous hearings and multiple trials and mediations during the year she participated in the clinical program.

She began her legal career at a large Houston personal injury law firm where she quickly attained status as a partner in the firm.
