Jessica Pride

I’m Jessica Pride, Managing Partner of The Pride Law Firm in San Diego. For more than fifteen years, I’ve represented survivors of sexual assault in civil court. My practice is rooted in the belief that every survivor deserves both justice and dignity. I handle cases throughout California and work with co-counsel nationwide to support survivors wherever they live.

My approach combines advocacy inside the courtroom with compassion outside of it. I was the first attorney in California to bring a full-time Survivor Advocate into my law firm, ensuring that my clients receive not only strong legal representation but also the support they need during an incredibly difficult time.

I work with survivors of all ages, pursuing claims against individuals, corporations, and institutions whose negligence or misconduct contributed to the assault. I encourage survivors to reach out, ask questions, and learn about their rights. Together, we explore both the legal and emotional paths toward healing.

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a B.A. in English and earned my J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2006. Over the years, I’ve helped lead the national conversation on sexual assault litigation as Co-Founding Chair of the American Association for Justice’s Sexual Assault Litigation Group and as a member of the Board of Governors. Outside the courtroom, I serve as President of the Board of Directors at the Center for Community Solutions and volunteer with organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
