About Lisa
Lisa Derco built a clear academic foundation before entering the legal profession. She earned a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University in 2001 and a Juris Doctor from The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in 2008. Those years of study laid the groundwork for a practice rooted in state-level work in Virginia.
Her professional life has been centered in Virginia courts and matters. She is admitted to practice in Virginia and maintains current professional association memberships. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. Clients see an attorney who explains legal options in plain terms and follows through on procedural steps.
Derco’s training at Columbus School of Law is evident in how she structures cases and advises clients. She combines classroom learning with courtroom and office procedures to prepare filings and manage deadlines. The combination of a science-oriented undergraduate education and legal training shapes the way she evaluates evidence and frames arguments.
Over the years she has worked on a range of matters that arise in state practice. Her work requires careful attention to statutes, regulations, and local court rules. In correspondence, hearings and negotiations she emphasizes clarity and adherence to procedural requirements. That steady approach informs how she assesses risk and recommends next steps to clients.
She is currently affiliated with BenGlassLaw. At the firm she participates in client counseling, case preparation and courtroom appearances as needed. Her role involves coordinating with colleagues, reviewing documents, and representing clients before state tribunals. She also maintains memberships in professional organizations that support continuing legal education and collegial engagement.
Outside the office she keeps up with developments in Virginia law and attends educational programs to stay current on practice issues. The day-to-day work often revolves around resolving disputes, meeting filing deadlines and guiding clients through state procedures. Her current practice centers on serving clients through BenGlassLaw in Virginia.
