The Law Office of Lisa Wenzel

Attorney

In 2006, the Law Office of Lisa Wenzel was established. Since that time, Lisa has spent countless hours at training seminars and conferences, keeping up to date and honing her skills as a criminal defense attorney. As a matter of fact, her participation in Continuing Legal Education (CLE) far exceeds the minimum standards set by state law. She is driven by a relentless passion to protect the rights of others and does whatever it takes to meet each challenge. This includes getting specific training for the defense of a single case! Over the last several years, Lisa has personally defended over 2,500 cases ranging from clients charged with capital murder to misdemeanor drug abuse.

2003 - 2004

The Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office

Felony Prosecutor

During Lisa's final semester in law school, she was asked to work for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office. It was at this time that Lisa established her favorable work ethic which ultimately led to being hired as a felony prosecutor soon after her graduation in 2003. Her criminal law training began with the Kentucky Prosecutor's Institute. But working side-by-side with seasoned prosecutors was the most gainful experience for Lisa Wenzel. She learned about the innermost strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution; what gives them the greatest victories and the worst problems. Essentially, Lisa Wenzel learned how to practice criminal law by the very people who are trying to put you in jail!
