Before forming his own firm, Mr. Perkins was a Partner in a prestigious Miami FL personal injury law firm where he made Partner in under three years. His partnership coincided with the resolving of a tragic case for a prominent Miami family who lost two of its members in a car accident during major highway construction on I-75.  The case culminated in a recovery of $10,500,000 and involved many different aspects of law including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM), bad faith insurance law, auto negligence, seatbelt and ejection issues and highway and work-zone construction negligence.  The at-fault driver who started the collision was underinsured with an inadequate bodily injury policy of only $50,000 limits

 

Before choosing to specialize in protecting the rights of individuals against insurance companies, irresponsible corporate entities and individual wrongdoers, Mr. Perkins primarily worked as a defense lawyer retained by trucking companies and insurance companies. His familiarity with the other side’s way of thinking and procedures used in evaluating and defending personal injury lawsuits, gives him an insight and competitive advantage. His inside knowledge and distaste for how some businesses care about profits over people, inspires him to fight back to level the playing field for the “little guy”  who cannot otherwise do it himself.

 

A Maryland native, Mr. Alexander Perkins earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maryland before moving to Florida, where he earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law. Mr. Perkins is a member of the Florida Bar and District of Columbia Bar. He is admitted to practice in all the State and Federal courts within Florida. Mr. Perkins is also of counsel to an Orlando law firm so as to have a centrally located launching point to handle cases anywhere throughout the state.  He also is of counsel with his family’s law firm in his home state of Maryland. These strategic associations extend the reach and services Perkins Law Offices can offer its clients.
