a network of legal professionals Dedicated to promoting the interests of the LGBTQ community and their allies

Teresa Pardiñas became a member of the Stonewall Bar Association in 2018 and joined the Board of Directors in 2020. She Co-Chairs the Law Student Outreach Committee and the Bar Relations Committee. 

Before attending law school, Teresa served as a law enforcement officer in Metro Atlanta.  There she realized her sense of advocacy for the community was not accomplished by placing handcuffs on people.  She left a nearly 15 years career to return to school and develop her sense of Advocacy. 

Teresa attended Mercer University School of Law and presided over Mercer OUTLaw, the school's LGBTQ student organization for two consecutive years.  Through community events and networking, she fostered connections between OUTLaw members, the Macon LGBTQ and legal communities, and the Stonewall Bar Association.  After leaving Macon, Teresa returned to Atlanta where she practices plaintiff-side employment law at Worth Jarrell LLC in Sandy Springs.  Her practice focuses on individuals who were wrongfully terminated, suffered retaliation, and/or discriminated against by employers.  In addition, she advises corporate employers on employment-related matters.
