About Lissette
Lissette Blandino trained first as a scientist and then as a lawyer. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California, Riverside in 1989 and completed her Juris Doctor at The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 1992. Those two degrees set the tone for a career that bridges technical understanding and legal analysis.
After law school she established her practice in California. Over the years she has handled matters that required careful parsing of technical material and clear communication to clients and courts. Her background in biology gave her an early advantage when legal questions touched on medical, environmental or scientific issues. She pairs that grounding with the routines of litigation, negotiation and client counseling that most California practitioners face.
Colleagues describe Blandino as methodical. She approaches files by isolating the facts that matter and testing them against governing statutes and precedent. That style suits complex files where evidence must be weighed against technical standards. She does not rely on jargon. Instead, she breaks down technical concepts so nonexperts can understand the legal stakes.
Her legal education in Utah followed a science degree in Southern California, and that geographic and academic range has informed how she works. She is familiar with the legal landscape in California and maintains an active practice there. Over three decades in practice have required adapting to shifts in procedure, technology and client expectations. Blandino has kept pace by staying attentive to evolving court rules and to the practical needs of the people and businesses she represents.
Outside of casework she has participated in professional settings that emphasize exchange and review. She continues to hold memberships in professional organizations and attends programs that reflect changes in both law and the sciences. These activities help her stay current on developments that could influence litigation strategy, regulatory compliance, or transactional risk.
Her career path—science to law—has produced a practitioner who values clarity and evidence. That approach shapes how she evaluates matters, prepares filings and advises clients. She currently practices law in California, applying her legal training alongside her scientific background.
