Lisa Coppola

In the 30-plus years she has practiced in New York, Ms. Coppola has actively litigated cases in State and Federal courts. She has a breadth of experience in business litigation as well as high-exposure personal injury matters, including taking cases to verdict over the course of many years and in many courtrooms. While she is comfortable before a jury, she equally is at home before appellate and arbitration panels, and she has a sweet spot for counseling and coaching business owners and executive management.

Ms. Coppola is the Chair-Elect of the National Association of Women Business Owners’ national board of directors and is a past president of NAWBO’s Buffalo Niagara Chapter. She is a member of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Region II Regulatory Fairness Board. Previously, Ms. Coppola was a partner at Hodgson Russ and was honored to be the first female litigator named an equity partner there.

Along with her business partner Joseph Han, Ms. Coppola owns The English Gardener, Western New York’s premier garden design and construction company where she combines her love of gardening with her keen business sense.

I found myself in need of having essential legal documents completed with an elderly family member. Things were also tricky due to my family member not living locally. Jennifer Scharf and her team were excellent to work with. They were able to accommodate our needs and were kind, patient, and informative. It is so important to get critical legal documents completed prior to truly needing them. I would strongly recommend anyone to use The Coppola Firm for their legal needs. They showed my family member the dignity and respect they deserved and were very easy to work with.
