Marissa L. Simmons, Esq.
Of Counsel
Marissa is currently engaged as Of Counsel Attorney to Payton Employment Law, PC and has collaborated with the Firm (and its predecessor firm) on employee litigation matters since 2018.
Committed to bringing justice and fairness to challenging places, Marissa Simmons believes that every employee should have the ability to provide for themselves and their families, without fear of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. It is this passion that drives Marissa to be an effective advocate and negotiator for employees who have been disadvantaged by their employer through illegal labor practices. This passion has enabled Marissa to assist in obtaining multiple six-figure settlements for employee-clients who were discriminated against and harassed due to their race.
Marissa brings extensive experience, having previously served as the owner and managing attorney of her own law firm, MLS Law, APC. Prior to opening her
practice, Marissa clerked for various solo practitioners and small firms, engaging in various practice areas from family, entertainment, employment, and personal injury. After working as a mediator in both Georgia and California courts, aiding hundreds of landlords and tenants in negotiating disputes, Ms. Simmons expanded her practice to include representing employees in employment matters.
Marissa believes in serving her community and seeks out every opportunity to do so. She has previously served on the board for the Langston Bar Association for two years, both as the chair of the Young Adult Committee and Outreach and Community Action Committee.
