About Ciera

Ciera Lipps grew up in and out of the foster care system where she gained a passion for helping others and a desire to make the world a better place in any way she could. This desire to improve the quality of life for marginalized individuals led Ciera to obtain a bachelor’s degree in psychology at New College of Florida where she developed a resilience building program for children in low-income households which was successfully implemented as a part of the Sarasota Salvation Army’s Pathway to Hope program aimed at breaking the cycle of inter-generational poverty. After spending a year implementing the resilience building program, Ciera decided to attend law school at Stetson University College of Law where she graduated cum laude. While at Stetson, Ciera served as the President of the Child Advocates of Stetson Law, was a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal honor fraternity, co-authored a legal rights guide for children in Foster Care titled Know Your Rights, and volunteered as a Guardian Ad Litem for children in Foster Care in Pinellas County. Since graduating law school, Ciera continues to dedicate time serving those in need by taking on criminal defense cases for indigent individuals pro-bono, handling over 25 criminal defense cases free of charge to her clients in the 3.5 years since she graduated. In the past year, Ciera has become an active member of the motorcycle community in the Tampa Bay Area and has become dedicated to helping the motorcycle community by providing legal assistance and working on events that promote motorcycle safety and awareness.
