About Jessica Farris
Jessica Farris Salonus built a legal foundation at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and completed her law degree at the University of Memphis. She entered the Tennessee legal community after law school and has since developed a practice rooted in employment law and related civil matters.
Early in her career she worked in roles that brought regular contact with workplace disputes and employee-side litigation. Those experiences shaped the practical approach she brings to cases now. Over time she moved into private practice and established The Salonus Firm, PLC, where she handles individual claims, administrative matters, and litigation on behalf of clients.
Salonus is licensed to practice in Tennessee and holds active memberships in several professional groups. She belongs to the Jackson-Madison County Bar Association and the Tennessee Bar Association. She is also a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association and the Tennessee Employment Lawyers Association, affiliations that connect her to peers who focus on employment law and workers’ rights.
Her work typically involves cases arising from workplace discipline, termination disputes, wage and hour complaints, and claims of discrimination or retaliation. She represents clients through administrative filings, settlement negotiations, and courtroom proceedings when cases require trial. Her approach is pragmatic: she evaluates the legal claims carefully, pursues remedies that fit the facts, and prepares for litigation when necessary.
Colleagues and clients describe Salonus as methodical and straight-talking. She balances courtroom readiness with attention to procedural detail. Outside of court dockets, she keeps current on statutory changes and case law developments that affect employment litigation in Tennessee. She also participates in professional association activities that focus on continuing legal education and practice standards.
She practices from The Salonus Firm, PLC and continues to represent employees in employment-related disputes, handling administrative and litigation matters in Tennessee.
