Lisa Matukaitis, founder of Matukaitis Law LLC, exclusively represents individuals in employment and civil rights litigation. Dedicated to advancing employees' rights in all areas of employment law, from discrimination and retaliation to wage and hour violations, Ms. Matukaitis has a particular emphasis on pregnancy, motherhood, and family responsibility discrimination cases. She is admitted to practice law in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

A native of rural Central Pennsylvania, Ms. Matukaitis earned a B.A. in Women's Studies from Simmons College in Boston, a paralegal certificate from Georgetown University, and her J.D., cum laude, from Western New England College School of Law in Massachusetts. No stranger to the struggles of working men and women, Ms. Matukaitis worked full-time during law school, clerking at the Hartford Superior Court and for a national labor and employment law firm. Despite attending law school at night and caring for her young child, Ms. Matukaitis graduated in the top ten percent of her class, was a member of law review, and received an "Outstanding Note" award for her article on the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.

Shortly after opening her law firm doors in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Ms. Matukaitis and her cases began grabbing state and local media attention with headlines such as "Ex-Bus Driver Claims Sexual Assault by Supervisor", "Former Medical Center CEO Files Civil Suit", "Researcher Claims WellSpan Age Discrimination", and "Mom Fights for Law against 'Maternal Profiling'." In addition to her litigation practice, Ms. Matukaitis has spoken to national audiences and published articles on race, class, and gender issues. She has been involved in landmark appellate litigation in courts around the country, including cases involving the constitutional right to access the courts.

Ms. Matukaitis has appeared on ABC News World News with Charlie Gibson and Comcast Newsmakers to discuss maternal profiling and discrimination against mothers and families.
