MEET CHELLEI

Chellei Jimenez has spent 23 years in courtrooms standing beside people whose lives were on the line. Parents fighting for their children. Workers trying to stay afloat. Families facing uncertainty and fear. Thousands of clients who trusted her with their most personal struggles and their hope for resolution.

That experience shaped her judgment. As the managing attorney of her own law firm, Chellei has taken hundreds of cases from start to finish and tried more than 300 matters to decision. She knows the law. She knows the pressure of a live courtroom. And she knows the real cost when cases drag on. Time in court means time away from jobs, children, health, and stability. As a judge, she will run an efficient, prepared courtroom that respects people’s lives and moves cases forward.

Her commitment to service reaches far beyond her practice. For more than 16 years, she has helped lead a nonprofit that provides meals, showers, scholarships, emergency supplies, and direct support to people in crisis. For the past decade, she has mentored middle and high school students, sharing her own journey from a struggling teenager to a successful attorney so they can see what is possible for their own lives.

Chellei is also the wife of a United States Army veteran and has represented many military families. She understands their challenges and their sacrifice. She and her husband have three children.

Chellei Jimenez will be a judge people can relate to. A judge who listens. A judge who understands the real pressures families face when they walk into a courtroom. She will bring wisdom earned from thousands of cases, a deep commitment to fairness, and a focus on moving cases forward so people can move forward with their lives.
