While being raised in Panama City, Florida, Lisa Anderson
attended grammar, middle and high school in Bay County. While also participating in many
extracurricular and scholastic activities, she worked in her family's seafood market on weekends.
After graduating from Bay High School, in 1988, she continued working with her family's
ventures including managing a successful seafood restaurant, seafood market and assisting in her
father's international tuna distributorship. Although Lisa loved Bay County, she knew at an early age
that her calling was to help people. Lisa decided to enroll at Gulf Coast Community College and then
American University in Washington, D.C. Upon graduating with a degree in Law & Society, she
attended Stetsun University College of Law to obtain her goal of receiving a law degree to practice
law. Her first job was as a Judicial Staff Attorney for the 14th Judicial Circuit where many cases were
handled for the Judges in this Circuit. Her work ethic prior to attending college has definitely
benefited her well to the stress of practicing law. She has been known to have a trial everyday of
the week and still manage to stay abreast of her current caseload without interruption. Also being
born and raised in Bay County, Florida, Ben Bollinger attended Bay County Schools graduating
in 1988 from A. Crawford Mosley High School. While still young, Ben's mother worked at the local
newspaper and then at a local fabric store, while his father was a logger and worked at the paper mill.
Ben has been employed since he was 12 years of age cleaning the floors at the fabric store where
his mother was employed. When turning 16 years of age, Ben started working at Showbiz Pizza
Place as a game attendant and worked his way up to team leader in the kitchen "flipping pizzas."
During college, Ben obtained employment at a feed and seed store in Southport, Florida. He spent
many days studying for his classes at Gulf Coast Community College and Florida State University
while selling horse, chicken, and dog feed. It cannot be forgotten that whether Ben was helping
his father log pulp wood, cut firewood or grubbing worms, he completely understands what it means to
do manual labor. Ben often states: "I am just a redneck with an education." In 1993, Ben was
accepted and received a scholarship to attend the private Catholic law school of St. Thomas
University School of Law in Miami, Florida. Upon graduating, Ben opened his private law practice
focusing on criminal defense. Seeing Ben at the office at 4:00a.m. demonstrates his
devotion to representing people charged with criminal offenses.
In 2001, Ben and Lisa met in the Bay County Court house First Floor Courtroom. It was from
this first meeting, Ben and Lisa became friends. Within two weeks, they started practicing
together, eventually forming Bollinger & Anderson and have never regretted such. From Lisa and
Ben's humble beginnings growing up to being featured in the Florida Law Weekly, Southern 2nd
Reporter, several newspapers, the Wall Street Journal, television appearance on the Bill O'Rielly
show, The Morning Show with Tom Najjar and their many commercials and legal tips, the Law
Firm of Bollinger & Anderson is committed to providing legal advice to those who may find
themselves charged with a crime.
