2022 Up and Comers Honoree: Jessica M. Marra

Jessica M. Marra is Cuban-American, born and raised in South Florida, and a partner at the Law Firm of Kelley Kronenberg. She is a wife to Marc Marra and, most importantly, a “Heart Mom” to her 5-year-old daughter, Charlotte.

In 2017, Marra’s daughter, Charlotte, was born with a very severe and life-threatening heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, meaning she was born with only half of a heart, as her left ventricle never formed. This very unexpected and life-long situation has required her to possess a continued strength and ability to wear many hats to excel in each area of her life. She is grateful to be honored for her continued efforts, both professionally and personally.

A former Broward County Assistant State Attorney, Marra now focuses her legal practice on General Liability and Third-Party Insurance Defense Litigation, representing businesses and employers in serious and large loss negligence cases. Her extensive litigation experience, work ethic, and a methodical attention to detail have enabled her to excel in her field and zealously represent her clients.
