Lisa R Lang
Founder
Lisa R Lang's passion for helping those with disabilities stems from her own personal experiences. Growing up with her mother who battled Multiple Sclerosis, Lisa developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. Her dedication was further solidified during her eight years working as a lead paralegal for an attorney with disabilities. These experiences inspired her to earn her J.D. from Lewis and Clark Law School in 1995.
Lisa began her solo practice in 2002, initially handling a variety of cases. However, her true calling became clear after she won a case for a veteran with PTSD. This victory allowed her to give back to someone who had given so much, and it fueled her dedication to advocating for those in need. Today, under the banner of Empower Disability, Lisa provides compassionate advocacy and personalized counsel, making a difference in the lives of clients across the Pacific Northwest.

How Can We Help?
hear from our clients
I am so impressed with my attorney, Lisa. Out of all that paperwork, she pulled out information on my neck injury from 2009 and presented it to the Judge. This evidence made all the difference. Lisa gets a 10 in my book, and everyone at Empowered Disability was great.
Greg
I am extremely happy with Empowered Disability's service. I was trying to get disability for 20 years and I was so happy when I won.
Sherry
Lisa Porter-Lang was great. I had lots of questions at first, and you answered my questions. Everything went smoothly and I got a win. Your service was great.
