"I fully endorse Mr. Perkins. He is our "go to" attorney for Connecticut personal injury matters. I send to him my New York clients who get injured in Connecticut and must sue there.
Similarly, Mr. Perkins sends to me his Connecticut clients who must sue in New York. We have had a fruitful relationship for 10+ years.
The office is pleasant and efficient, and all of the cases that he has sent to me are well prepared. We can just pick-up on the case where he left off.
