I knew at an early age that I wanted to help people, but I did not quite know how I could do that. I wasn’t particularly good at building things, and I didn’t feel like I’d make a very good police officer or firefighter. During my teenage years, a friend was wrongfully accused of something. The details don’t matter, but it triggered something in me. I wanted to fight for my friend. I needed to stand up for him and fight this injustice. I argued, advocated, and changed the minds of his accusers. It helped my friend and the experience helped me understand what brings me my deep gladness. Fighting to get justice for others.. And the world has a deep need for justice. Throughout my legal career, I’ve represented families and individuals who have been hurt by other people, healthcare organizations or corporations. And as the child of immigrants who fled Cuba for a country that valued justice and equality for all, I have a strong appreciation for our system of justice and the Constitutional right to a trial by jury. Fighting for my clients’ rights is something I care deeply about, and it is my honor to represent those who feel that they are powerless against insurance companies, healthcare providers and big corporations.. At The Pérez Law Firm, we have experience getting justice for the injured. Let us do that for you.

I help companies hire and retain top talent using carefully-crafted ERISA/tax-qualified employee benefit plans and executive compensation plans.  I also help companies resolve different compliance issues in their employee benefit plans before the IRS and the U.S. Department of Labor.  Finally, I help companies resolve independent contractor issues before the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor, and the Georgia Department of Labor.

I have the experience to help you with your family law matter. The first thing I do is listen.  I want to hear you say what is your problem, and what is important to you.  Upon speaking with me, we can determine your main objective and the best way to achieve the goal.  There is no reason to go nuclear when a precision attack will yield the required objective.  I am married with three children.  I am aware of family dynamics, and reality of how parents interact with each other and children.  I enjoy making barbeque, and making old world sausauge and brats.  If you would ask me what is may favorite store, I would say Cabelas and Bass Pro.

I have practiced law for almost 20 years although it does not seem that long.  I have chosen my practice areas in indigent criminal defense, education law, and now workers' compensation because all have allowed me to work for an individual.  I enjoy the connection with a live person for whom I can advocate.  I like to get to know the person I respresent.  My clients are more than mere case numbers.  I am more effective if I can empathize with and understand the individuals for whom I argue.. Becoming a lawyer was never the ultimate goal.  It has always been a means to an end. It is a way in which I can use my expertise to help people maneuver their way through an otherwise confusing and complicated legal system in order to invoke rights or request redress.. I spend my spare time with my husband and two energetic sons.  We enjoy travelling the world together and exploring new places, but in many ways, every day is an adventure.  There are very few dull moments in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

George School of Law in 2012. I was admitted to the Georgia bar the same year.

I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry,"  thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.. I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.. Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

I have been a lawyer for 37 years.  I became a family law attorney because I love helping people get through what can be one of the worst times of their lives with strength, dignity and grace.  Helping my clients get back on their feet as they go through the divorce process is often the most satisfying part of my job.

I focus my practice on real estate closings and community association law, specifically homeowners associations, condominium associations, and commercial associations, including mixed use, "green", and age-restricted community documents.  I help homeowners, developers, lenders, and others in creating, interpreting, enforcing, and administering these documents, including compliance with the Georgia Condominium Act, the Georgia POA Act (particuarly in adopting its terms), and other statutes that may apply.  As well, I assist in navigating the practicalities of running an association, including dealing with calling annual meetings, holding elections, or creating comitteess.. In 2013, Andersen, Tate & Carr, P.C. named me the head of its residential and construction closing practice group.. In addition, I have also mediated real-estate related disputes, with an emphasis on finding cost effective and realistic solutions. Using the insights I have learned through my representation of homeowners, lenders, developers, builders and association board members I am able to share perspectives that otherwise might not have been considered to bring parties closer together.. One of my toughest projects was to be part of the team, led by Thomas J. Andersen, responsible for negotiating and closing the purchase of the Beltline by one of our firm's clients in 2004 (Atlanta Business Chronicle’s "Deal of the Year 2004") and to remain involved with the continuing complex development issues that arose from the Beltline, including its sale to another development entity in late 2007 (the sale was listed in Atlanta Business Chronicle’s "Deal Makers" list, March 2008).

I focus on devising efficient, effective and creative solutions to complex legal problems. Whether dealing with transactions or litigation, I counsel my clients to assume very little and to be realistic in their plans and expectations. I further advise them that they must be honest with me in order to enable me to maximize my effectiveness in providing legal representation to them.

I enjoy practicing family law (many lawyers don't).  I often present CLE seminars and always learn so much when I prepare my remarks.. I grew up in New Orleans (yes, I am a long suffering Saints fan whose suffering has ended) and have lived in Atlanta since I started law school at Emory in 1985.. What sets our firm apart from many, is how many resources we have to help you.  In addition to 13 lawyers who all specialize in family law, we have 15 staff members including paralegals, law clerks and others and we maintain close relationships with many forensic accountants, psychologists and private investigators to ensure we can meet our clients' needs on a moment's notice.
