About The Lady Law Shield
Built by a Cop, for Cops and First Responders
BRIDGET TRUXILLO, JD
Bridget was a Deputy Sheriff in Florida, and after spending time in patrol, she transferred to the Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU) and joined the SWAT team. Bridget knows the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside their agencies, based on her experiences with her agency and with the public.
Although Bridget loved serving the public, she realized she wanted to serve the law enforcement community in a different way, so she left and went to law school as a means to glean the knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose.
Bridget launched Lady Law Shield to help law enforcement officers and first responders alleviate legal worries.
All legal services are designed to provide comfort, ease, and support for a more balanced and joyful life.
Bridget lives with her husband and kids in Houston, Texas. To contact Bridget, please send an email to
