Lisandra Guerrero is a trial and appellate litigator in the firm’s civil division. She handles complex commercial disputes, civil forfeiture and asset-restraint actions, terrorism-judgment enforcement proceedings, litigation running parallel to state and federal prosecutions, and the appeals that follow.
Lisandra represents individuals, public figures, and companies in matters where the exposure extends past the courtroom to a client’s business, assets, and reputation. Whether preparing a dispositive motion, developing an appellate strategy, examining a witness, or working through extensive discovery, she approaches cases with meticulous preparation and practical judgment. She is known for immersing herself in the factual record and working closely with clients from the outset to understand not only the legal dispute, but also the larger business or personal interests that the litigation may affect.
Lisandra was born in Cuba and raised in Miami. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Criminal Justice from Florida International University and her Juris Doctor from the University of Notre Dame Law School, where she served as President of the Hispanic Law Students Association and received the Excellence in Oral Advocacy Award. She is fluent in Spanish and has provided pro bono legal services through the Cuban American Bar Association’s Immigrant Children’s Program.

Before joining Black Srebnick, Lisandra spent a decade litigating a broad range of complex civil matters in federal and state courts.
