Jennifer is a native of Nacogdoches and graduated from Nacogdoches High School in 2013. She is fluent in Spanish and English.

As the eldest daughter of parents who are both from Mexico, Jennifer learned patience, understanding, and compassion toward others from a young age. She would often help her family with translating conversations, appointments, or documents. Looking back, she appreciates the struggle with language barriers because it has helped in her career.

Jennifer began working with the Deppisch Law Firm as a receptionist in 2021. She enjoys being the helping hand that others need during difficult times.

Claudia Ibarra

Legal Assistant

Claudia was born in Mexico and raised in Cushing, Texas. She is fluent in Spanish and English, and Spanish is her native language. She became fluent in English by attending public school and watching English-speaking shows. Her family migrated to the United States when she was seven years old. Claudia graduated from Cushing High School in 2009 in the top 10 percent of her class. Claudia is the eldest daughter of wonderful and hard-working parents. Because her parents worked hard to provide for their families, their example taught Claudia to be patient, understanding and compassionate toward others.

At a young age, Claudia tended to the needs of her siblings and helped her parents with translation issues, document preparation, and the managing of bills. Claudia appreciates her upbringing, despite the challenges she faced at a very young age – including culture shock and language barriers. She tells her parents that this is the career they helped prepare for her. Although she was not always interested in law, she always knew that she wanted to help people, especially the Hispanic community, because of the hardships her parents faced. Claudia understands firsthand the struggles Hispanics face due to a lack of knowledge of the law. Claudia can assist them with knowledge and understanding of the law, especially if that knowledge is due to language barriers. She can also help them overcome their fear of America’s legal system.

Claudia began working at the firm in 2013 as a receptionist and moved up in the firm to legal assistant in September of 2020. She will be celebrating her 10-year anniversary in 2023. Claudia decided to take that giant leap of faith because she wanted to do more to help people. Claudia finds it very rewarding that she can guide and help individuals to the finish line of their family law case. Claudia strives to be the helping hand and friend they need during these difficult times. When Claudia is away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. One of her favorite activities is attending concerts.

She grew up with an interest in law and started working with Mr. LoStracco in October of 2007. She developed her skill as a litigation and family law legal assistant through many years of hard work assisting clients for the firm and is now Mr. LoStracco’s Senior Legal Assistant. She believes that having a “hands on” approach with work for clients is where you truly learn to provide excellence to clients in both communication and support.

As of 2024, Misti has been working with Mr. LoStracco for 17 years. We are so proud of the work that she has done, how she has helped build our firm’s reputation, and what she brings to the LOSTRACCO DEPPISCH PLLC family. She has done so much and helped so many people over the years. Misti says, “This career has truly been rewarding and I love what I do! Although it is hard work and we put in many hours and see many difficult and tragic situations, we help so many people. Helping others is what I am passionate about.”

Dance, music, and fitness is also something Misti is passionate about. She teaches a Zumba class Monday through Friday after work at the Nacogdoches Recreation Center. She started teaching Zumba in October of 2012. That part of her life and her students have been such a blessing to her over the years, and the firm has a great deal of pride in Misti’s “second profession” as a fitness instructor. She says she feels that dance or exercise in general is therapeutic and it has been just that for her. Regarding her two professions Misti states, “I believe that the work I do in my life both personally and professionally are truly what I was called to do and my goal is to help all people in various types of situations to the best of my ability.” We are so thankful for Misti and look forward to many more years of teamwork with her leading the charge.
