Although Cliff has worked for injured workers for over thirty years, he has limited his practice exclusively to representing injured workers the last 12 years.

WIN-PAC is the political action committee for injured workers in Georgia. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Georgia Workers' Compensation Claimants Lawyers, and a member of the WCCL Amicus Curiae Committee, which is responsible for writing briefs and arguing before the appellate courts on behalf of injured workers in Georgia. He has completed the National Institute for Trial Advocacy's Program in the Arts & Skills of Trial Advocacy and has successfully tried workers' compensation cases in all levels of the courts, including the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Cliff has been a featured speaker at claimants' attorneys meetings and seminars on subjects such as: Developing Medical Evidence and Reports, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Recent Case Law Developments in Workers' Compensation, and Trial Tactics.
In addition to making insurance companies do the right thing, Cliff enjoys hiking, fishing and playing with his twin grandchildren.

Clifford C. Perkins Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"I have defended many a claim that Cliff has brought on behalf of his clients. While our clients often have strong disagreements, Cliff has always been very professional with me. We can agree to disagree and still be civil. Characterizing him as a 'Velvet Hammer' on behalf of his clients is the best short hand way I have of summarizing his style and effectiveness. I expect a hard fight when I see his name, but I also know that it will be a fair fight. His word can be trusted."
"Cliff is one of the leading workers' compensation attorneys in Georgia. he is going to be the Chair of the Workers' Compensation Section of the State Bar of Georgia next year. it is my pleasure to endorse him."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Cliff has always provided outstanding representation for his clients and does so with the highest ethical standards."
"Cliff Perkins is an outstanding and experienced workers compensation attorney. We have worked on cases together and his clients give him the highest compliments about his work.
