I'm a tar heel native, so I'm a huge fan of college basketball. My hobbies include running, pilates and bikrim yoga.

I'm a native of the Atlanta metro area, and a “double dawg” with both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Georgia. My first 8 years as a lawyer were spent doing defense work for the big insurance companies, an advantage that sets me apart from most personal injury attorneys.. I know how insurance companies work, so I can stay one step ahead of them. Many of the defense attorneys know me, and know I’m not afraid to take my cases to trial in front of a jury. I look forward to meeting you personally, and will use my litigation and insurance company experience to get you the best possible outcome.

I'm a client-focused personal injury trial lawyer who leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of a fair settlement or verdict for my clients. All clients have my personal cell phone so they can reach me 24/7.

I love what I do for a living - helping others in their greatest time of need. I like to ensure that those who have done wrong are held accountable for their actions.

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.
