Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller
About Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller
I represent victims of medical malpractice and sexual assault survivors because these individuals have been harmed in such a way that they don't have the strength to go against those that have harmed them, and are often left with devastating, life-long injuries. I enjoy bringing the truth to light. Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller represents injury victims in birth trauma, medical malpractice, and dangerous drug and device claims. She also represents survivors of sexual assault against those who commit these crimes and the institutions that protect them. Lisa joined Sommers Schwartz immediately after graduating summa cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley School of Law. Upon joining the team, she began practicing as a full-time litigator. She has devoted her life to advocating for those that have been injured by health care providers, dangerous drugs and devices, and sexual predators. She has successfully litigated cases in state and federal courts across the nation, including in Michigan, Illinois, and North Carolina. Lisa attributes much of her success to her background. From a very young age, Lisa was told that she would be a lawyer one day. This statement was most assuredly brought on by her love of debate, and, quite frankly, just a good argument. However, it takes more than a love of argument to become a good lawyer.
