Lisa Unger

Growing up in Southern California, Lisa Unger developed an early appreciation for discipline, creativity, and perseverance through years of dance and a love for the outdoors. Her curiosity about the world around her naturally evolved into a deep interest in the forces that shaped the nation’s history. That passion led her to earn a bachelor’s degree in U.S. History from UC Berkeley and a master’s degree in the same field from San Francisco State University, followed by completion of SFSU’s Paralegal Program. Lisa ultimately pursued the Law Office Study Program as her path to becoming an attorney, drawn to personal injury law through her fascination with legal history and its impact on real people’s lives.

Lisa began her legal career at Avrek Law Firm when it was still a small, growing practice. Through dedication, adaptability, and a strong work ethic, she quickly became an invaluable part of the team. Having worked in every department—from case management to legal operations—Lisa possesses a comprehensive understanding of how a case moves through the firm and what it takes to achieve meaningful results for clients. Her experience on both the legal and business sides of the firm allows her to approach each case with insight, empathy, and a commitment to securing justice for the injured.

Outside of her legal practice, Lisa is deeply rooted in her community, where she organizes local events and fairs for a neighborhood nonprofit. These efforts reflect the same values that drive her professionally: service, connection, and advocacy. Whether supporting her community or fighting on behalf of her clients, Lisa’s motivation comes from a genuine desire to help people rebuild their lives and move forward with strength and dignity.
