This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer and excellent service. Fought for my case at every step and prepared me well.

Mr. Perkins has been my lawyer for the past 5 years and he delivered! He fought my case and when I didn't want to settle he pushed for the max amount and came through. With all of the surgeries and injections and pain over the years this is a peace of mind that is very appreciated. During the dep...osition Mr. Perkins had me prepared well. During the countless medical providers his firm kept track and kept them at bay until the case was over. Very nice person as well as a very great lawyer. Happy to have been in his service. Thanks Mr. Perkins!

Exceptional attorney

Where do I even start when it comes to my attorney Paul? It's not even enough room for me to describe my wonderful experience with him and his team. I came to him after being mishandled by a previous attorney and he listened intently and took my case. I felt helpless not knowing who to trust after be...ing lied to by other attorneys. But after meeting with Paul , and hearing him reassure me that he was going to fight for me regardless of how long it took gave me confidence all over again. I remember going to my mediation hearing with Paul and when the opposite attorney for the defense and insurance company made two very unreasonable settlement offers Paul looked at the mediator and said " if they think that they are going to be able to come in here ,make these type of offers and expect for me to advise my client to take it, They have the wrong attorney, I'm not that kind of attorney". That moment made me think back to our first office meeting when he reassured me that he would keep my best interest at heart. I will always remember those words he spoke that day to the mediator because it wasn't just talk. He was truly fighting for me.... Even though my mediation didn't settle that day I ended up getting much needed treatment and surgery due to my ongoing problems . Fast forward I got the treatment from doctors that I desperately needed and that same lawyer and insurance company settled with Paul Perkins on my case for 8 times more than the original amount offered..,. Paul Perkins and Julie his assistant guided me every step of the way. I am forever greatful for coming across his firm. He truly helped me get my life back on track.

Former client

In 2016 I was involved in a vehicle accident in Orlando . I contacted Mr. Perkins , from the very start I was treated like I was a friend in need of help and he and his team did everything possible for me , I could not have been more pleased with what he did for me . Even though I was in a terrible s...ituation with what I was going through physically I never had to wonder what was going on with my case , he aways kept me informed and when the case was over he still kept in touch with me to check on my well being . The best lawyer in this field , I would recommend Paul Perkins to anyone that needs a lawyer that will will work hard for them and treat you like a friend not like a number , thank you Mr. Perkins !!!!

AN HONEST MAN

MR. PERKINS IS SPECIAL BECAUSE, IN A BUSINESS THAT CAN BE HARD TO TRUST, I COULD COUNT ON HIM FOR THE TRUTH! HE IS COMPASSIONATE AND LOYAL AND I WAS GRATEFUL TO HAVE HIM REPRESENT ME BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE BELIEVED I WOULD WIN BUT WE DID! PAUL IS RESPECTFUL, RESPECTED AND KNOWLEDGABLE. I RECOMMEND ...HIM TO REPRESENT ANYONE WHO NEEDS A LAWYER THEY CAN TRUST.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
