Lisa Sigman

Attorney

1 year

I was born in CA, but raised in the Boston Suburbs since I was a baby.

I am a partner at Nobles and Sigman, a woman owned law firm, where I work as a primary care attorney for small businesses - my passion and focus is working with women owned and operated businesses. Fun fact - I decide to change careers and go to law school after seeing Legally Blonde!

I would hope that they say working with me and my firm is easy and enjoyable - maybe even fun! Lawyers have a reputation for being inaccessible, impersonal, intimidating. I work hard to buck that stereotype by being a team player with my clients and making sure they understand what we are working on.

During my divorce my mother observed that I was trying to ``fix`` everything all at once and that I couldn't do that. I try to remind myself of that every time things get hectic - I just need to handle one thing at a time.

I love fiction and my all time favorite is Contact by Carl Sagan.

I joke that I am a slave to my digital overlords. I use my phone, Alexa, anything I can to remind me of appointments, schedules and deadlines. That way I don't miss something and I clear space in my head for other things to think about.

I’ve been working with my amazing coach, Caryl Mix, and have really gotten my systems in place – tracking, streamlining my work flow, etc. – and I am set to nearly double my revenue from last year without doubling the time I am spending on the work.

Don't make decisions based on fear - the choice you make is never the right one when that is the basis.

I prefer to collect memories than things at this stage in life, so experiences and events like travel, concerts, even sitting around a fire with friends is my free time fun!

I worked as an MRI technologist right out of college, during law school and after. I just retired this past March after 20 years in the field. Yes, I did that while I was an attorney!
