About Lisa M
Lisa M Robinson earned her J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 2004 after completing a B.A. at Alfred University in 1992. She spent her undergraduate years pursuing a liberal arts curriculum before returning to law school a decade later. The gap between degrees shaped a practical approach to legal study. She entered the legal profession with a clear intent to practice in courts across New York.
Her early career included courtroom exposure and civil practice. Records show that by 2024 she joined DeFrancisco & Falgiatano Personal Injury Lawyers. That move placed her squarely in a firm known for handling accident and injury claims. Casework there has involved representation before federal and state courts. She has appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of New York. She is also admitted to the Second Circuit and to practice in the state of New York.
Robinson’s work tends to center on personal injury litigation, including claims arising from motor vehicle collisions, premises liability and other bodily injury matters. Her practice requires familiarity with both state tort law and federal procedural rules. She has handled pretrial motions, discovery disputes and settlement negotiations. Her courtroom experience includes arguing before trial judges in federal district courts and navigating appellate filings in the Second Circuit when cases proceed beyond trial.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in file preparation and direct in court. She balances a steady courtroom manner with attention to medical records and expert testimony. That blend is necessary in injury cases where damages often turn on technical evidence and careful witness preparation. Robinson’s background—combining a liberal arts education with a professional law degree—shapes how she assesses liability and damages. It also informs how she advises clients about realistic outcomes and timelines.
Outside litigation, she maintains memberships in professional organizations that support civil trial practice. Her membership history dates back to the mid-2000s and continues today. That involvement keeps her current on evolving case law and procedural developments within federal and state courts across New York.
She works from DeFrancisco & Falgiatano’s offices and represents clients in personal injury matters. She currently practices at DeFrancisco & Falgiatano Personal Injury Lawyers, representing individuals in personal injury cases.
