I am a Virginia trial lawyer who provides a diverse range of legal services, including criminal jury trials, in several counties, including Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, and Fredericksburg. Please refer to the AVVO Q&A section to read some of my 15,500 legal answers.. The main reason I became a lawyer was that I didn’t see much diversity in the legal profession, and I thought the lawyers I hired for my life events, did not understand the context or cultural background. Though I tried to find other lawyers, my searches were futile.. I am an immigrant from India who became a US citizen a long time ago. My father, grandfathers, and great grandfathers were farmers owning huge parcels of farmland in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu, and accordingly, I studied Agriculture all through PhD and became an Assistant Professor at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, India. Later I pursued computer programming in the United States - MS in Information Systems and worked in Siebel CRM at Accenture and SAP FICO at the Customs and Border Protection. Later, I switched to Federal Govt employee status and worked as an Inspector at the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) in Washington, D.C. My team did audits of the detention centers in Texas. As a DHS OIG inspector, I was also trained in criminal investigations by NCIS' FLETA at Glynco, Georgia.. My first entry in the United States was as a graduate research fellow with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in Washington, D.C. DEI is a gift and IFPRI is a non-profit institute gifting diverse opportunities to the international PhD students (like me) around the World. I started my career as an Agricultural Economist (India), as a teaching Professor (TNAU), a graduate research fellow (IFPRI) and a DAAD fellow (JLU, PhD) in Germany. Later after publishing a book and marriage, a new married last name and a career in computer coding, and a beautiful daughter, I pursued law school. That means I bring multi-continental, multi-area, and multicultural lawyering to the practice of law.. I received a Rosa Parks Scholarship and studied law at the only public and affordable law school in Washington, D.C., the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law. My team won the ABA Client Counseling Competition Championship in Region 3. My team also won the second place at the Nelson Mandela Int'l Negotiations Competition. Some small law schools like mine produce great defenders and change agents.. I encourage people to donate to UDC David A. Clarke School of Law which shapes many African American students, immigrant women and men into fierce defenders and champions. Please check out the free legal clinics offered by UDC law.

I have a simple approach to practicing law. I believe that if I serve and treat my clients in the manner in which I would want to be treated, and if I pursue excellence in my work, my clients will be pleased with my representation and will recommend me to others who have need.  I have received enough help in my life from people who cared about me to learn that the only difference between my clients and myself is that they may have more paperwork to prove that they have made mistakes.

I started the Law Office of Lisa C. Francisco, P.C. because I saw the need to provide my community with effective and affordable legal services.  I have a client centered practice, and I pride myself in providing high quality customer service..

I have the experience inside and outside of the courtroom and am ready to put her skills to work for you.  I have been a prosecutor in Halifax, and am familiar with our local judges and unique local customs.  I also live in Halifax, and I raise my family here.  I will be there for you in your time of need, ready to answer your questions in a language you will understand and get you the legal solution you deserve.. Call today for an appointment to see how I can help ease the anxiety and fear of your difficult situation.

Due in large part to the success of the Capital Defender offices ( no death sentences in the last 11 years) the death penalty was abolished this year and my career of 30+ years as a Public Defender and Capital Defender came to an end. As Capital Defender I led a defense team that successfully represented over 50 clients charged with capital murder none of whom received a death sentence. As a Public Defender I represented people charged with offenses ranging from trespassing to murder in both bench and jury trials. I have extensive jury trial experience, am a skilled courtroom advocate and persuasive litigator. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to defend those who the government seeks to fine or imprison.

Fifteen years experience handling all types of criminal matters. Considerate, compassionate and fair.
