Rising Stars is a designation of top-rated practicing attorneys selected through extensive evaluation. The multi-factor selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and evaluations, as well as professional achievement in legal practice.
While in college at the University of California Berkeley, Marissa worked for the Family Violence Law Center and helped obtain restraining orders for victims of domestic violence. At that time, Marissa was the only Spanish speaker and handled all intakes for Spanish-speaking clients.
During law school, Marissa was a founding member of the Medical / Legal Partnership for Seniors, a collaborative effort between UCSF and Hastings to legally and medically advocate for San Francisco’s elderly residents.
