Lyris Medrano zealously represents injured people in worker’s compensation and personal injury claims. She was admitted to practice before the Wisconsin Courts in 2008. 

 

Lyris grew up in Chicago's Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods where she volunteered to social justice efforts and worked hard to be a good student and serve her community. In 2002, Lyris earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a dual major in Psychology and Criminology from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. She went on to work in social services for several years, first as a family educator, caring for medically complex children in a group home in Chicago and later as a DCFS-licensed case manager serving families in northwest Cook County.

 

Lyris earned her law degree from Marquette University Law School in 2008. While in law school she interned at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, volunteered at the Milwaukee County Courthouse Pro-Se Clinic and represented claimants with the Marquette Unemployment Compensation Clinic. She was also selected to compete at the Robert F. Wagner National Labor and Employment Law Moot Court Competition held at the New York Law School.

 

Attorney Medrano began her legal career as an associate attorney at a mid-sized labor and employment law firm in Milwaukee representing inured and disabled people in worker's compensation, personal injury and Social Security Disability claims. After several years she went on to work as an associate at another mid-sized labor and employment law firm in Milwaukee where she was mentored by one of the most regarded worker's compensation attorneys in Wisconsin, Israel Ramon. In 2013, Attorney Medrano and Attorney Ramon went on to open the law office of Ramon & Medrano S.C. Since its inception, the law firm was dedicated to providing top-notch representation to injured people from all backgrounds in Wisconsin. In 2019, upon the well-deserved appointment of Attorney Ramon to the position of Milwaukee County Register of Deeds by Governor Evers, Attorney Medrano became the sole owner of the law practice and the firm's name was changed to

Medrano Injury Law, S.C.
