Renowned Trial Lawyer James G. Perry Joins Atticus Injury Law

Atticus Injury Law, PC, a leading personal injury law firm based in Irvine, California, has announced the addition of James G. Perry to their team as a Senior Trial Lawyer. Perry, with nearly a decade of experience as a prosecutor, primarily with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, brings a wealth of expertise in both civil and criminal law to the firm's personal injury practice.

Perry's legal career, which began with a passion for trial advocacy during his undergraduate and law school years, has been marked by substantial trial experience and a dedication to helping those who have been harmed. His transition from criminal to civil practice has been driven by this commitment, with a particular focus on cases that involve both criminal elements and civil prosecution.

One of Perry's notable recent cases involved a wrongful death suit against the City of Los Angeles, where he represented the family of a young woman killed by a speeding driver at a dangerous intersection. The case not only secured justice for the victim's family but also exposed an unsafe condition that had led to an 800% increase in accidents over a decade.

Perry's expertise extends beyond the courtroom. He has written extensively on various legal topics, including the intersection of the Fifth Amendment and civil discovery, spoliation of evidence, and state and federal public records requests. His active involvement in the legal community is evident through his participation in several bar associations and committees, including the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association and the Consumer Attorneys of California's Inland Empire Chapter.

The addition of Perry to Atticus Injury Law signifies a significant strengthening of the firm's capabilities in personal injury litigation. His extensive trial experience and deep understanding of both criminal and civil law will likely enhance the firm's ability to handle complex cases and secure favorable outcomes for their clients.

This development is particularly relevant for individuals seeking representation in personal injury cases, especially those with potential criminal elements. Perry's background as a prosecutor provides him with unique insights into how these cases are built and prosecuted, which could prove invaluable in developing effective defense strategies.

For the legal industry, Perry's move from criminal prosecution to civil litigation in personal injury cases highlights the valuable transferable skills between these areas of law. It also underscores the importance of diverse legal experience in tackling complex personal injury cases that may involve elements of both civil and criminal law.

As personal injury cases continue to evolve in complexity, the addition of lawyers with diverse backgrounds like Perry to specialized firms may become increasingly common. This trend could lead to more comprehensive and effective representation for victims of personal injury, potentially resulting in better outcomes and increased accountability for negligent parties.

Atticus N. Wegman, Managing Partner at Atticus Injury Law, expressed enthusiasm about Perry joining the team, citing his passion for advocacy, impressive trial experience, and commitment to helping individuals who have suffered life-altering injuries as key assets to the firm. As Atticus Injury Law continues to grow and strengthen its team, it reaffirms its position as a formidable force in personal injury litigation in California.
