Marisol Jimenez

Attorney

Marisol has represented employees in numerous cases involving disability, race, ethnicity, pregnancy, age, and religious discrimination, as well as sexual harassment and wage theft claims against some of the most well-known companies throughout California. Marisol’s experience, combined with her unique background and commitment to her clients, has led her to obtain successful results on behalf of clients against even the wealthiest and largest companies.

In 2024, Marisol was recognized with the Rising Star Award from the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego. The same year, she received a Pro Bono Publico Award from Casa Cornelia Law Center for her pro bono work with the organization. Since 2021, Marisol has been selected as a “Rising Star” in employment litigation by Super Lawyers. This distinction is based on a peer review process and is awarded to only the top 2.5% of attorneys in the State of California for those under the age of 40.

In addition to her legal experience, it is Marisol’s personal background that drives her commitment to her clients. Growing up in the Central Valley of California, Marisol witnessed firsthand her parents being taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers, who often refused to pay minimum wage and overtime, despite the fact that her parents earned those wages after long days of grueling labor. As a result, Marisol knew she wanted to represent employees even before entering law school. This experience propelled her, and continues to propel her, to be a zealous advocate for workers.

Since 2015, Marisol has dedicated her career to representing workers in employment disputes. Before starting her own firm, Marisol worked at several local law firms, focusing exclusively on employment litigation, where she gained substantial experience in all aspects of litigation. Marisol has represented employees in single-plaintiff lawsuits as well as class actions and representative actions (e.g., Private Attorneys General Act, “PAGA”).

While attending law school, Marisol was a member of the Law Review, and she served as Executive Editor for the International Law Journal. Marisol also volunteered at Casa Cornelia Law Center, where she advocated for victims of human trafficking and received the organization’s Special Recognition Award for her work.
