An attorney and certified case manager, Lisa is proud to use both her legal and social service experience to advocate on behalf of her clients and their families.
Admitted to four bars (New Jersey, New York, and two federal) Lisa is often asked why she is not currently "practicing" law. In short, Ms. Bayer believes that as an elder care advocate she has the privilege and opportunity to work with families and do what she loves without being bogged down with the administrative tasks involved in litigation and document production.
After graduating Tufts, Lisa was a case manager with Boston Senior Home Care, a non-profit organization overseen by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs.
While at law school, Lisa was a founding member of the still-active Public Justice Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing grants to students who took low- paying or unpaid positions in the public sector. Upon earning her degree, Lisa worked with MFY Legal Services, part of Legal Services of New York City, specializing in Social Security law. It was while first employed at MFY that Lisa learned first hand what it means to be a caregiver. Both her father and grandmother were diagnosed with cancer at the same time. Having received a bone marrow transplant her father is a 14 year survivor of non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma. Sadly, her grandmother passed of leukemia after a valiant fight.
Lisa is an active volunteer with her childrens' parent teacher associations and is a member of several volunteer organizations and township committees.
