If you have ever been in a car accident, then you are probably all too familiar with how much of a traumatizing and complicated experience it can be. The process of getting your life back to a sense of normalcy probably took years or is still ongoing. There is hope, however, as one person is trying to make this process easier and more beneficial for the individuals and families who are not at fault in auto accidents, her name is Lisandra Matos.
Lisandra Matos is the founder and principal attorney at The Matos Las Firm located in Lakewood, Colorado, which was founded in 2015. Her journey to becoming an attorney started when she was just a teenager and her family immigrated to the United States, from Cuba. Afterward, she put herself through college at Rice University in Houston, Texas where she received her B.A. in Psychology and Political Science. She went on to earn her J.D. at the South Texas College of Law. Matos is currently a member of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, Colorado Bar Association, and Denver Bar Association.
Matos is no stranger to the difficult world of health care coverage ever since she tore the ACL and meniscus in her right knee after a skiing accident in 2015. After six weeks of not putting weight on her right leg, she lost almost all of the muscle and it felt like her leg had died. The process to reclaim a normal feeling in her leg was long and painful but with a lot of hard work and determination, she was able to get past a physical and mental barrier that was hindering her before.
Matos said about her journey, “I felt so alive! I had overcome a huge mental, emotional, and physical challenge. It was life changing and I wanted to help other people feel that same way. I decided to start my own legal practice and empower others to keep moving forward, too.”
The Matos Law Firm is continuing down a path to be a pillar that the community can look up to and hopes to continue its practice for the foreseeable future. Matos and the rest of the law firm are proud to serve the Latino community of Colorado and hope to make the process of dealing with an injury in a car accident easier and more affordable.
Matos’ ultimate goal is for big corporations to be held accountable for their actions, and she believes that the people who place their trust in these corporations should not be held responsible for doing what is right. The role Matos offers as a personal injury attorney is to serve as an equalizer between multi-billion-dollar insurance companies and individuals who have been injured in a car accident through no fault of their own.
Matos has been involved in hundreds of cases during her time as a personal injury lawyer and has been able to get the best possible results for her clients time after time because of her specialized knowledge of personal injury law and her passion for justice. Matos also enjoys her time with the community and frequently hosts women networking events in the Denver area that are open to all women looking to expand their networks and grow their businesses.

Another unique aspect of the firm is that it is woman-owned with an all-woman staff, which has been a great way for female attorneys to have more representation in their community and show that there isn’t a stereotype one has to follow in order to be a successful attorney.
Matos looks forward to serving the community of Colorado at The Matos Law Firm for many years to come.
