Atticus Injury Law, PC has announced the addition of James G. Perry to their team as a Senior Trial Lawyer, bringing nearly a decade of experience as a prosecutor with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office along with a strong background in both civil and criminal law. Perry's legal career has been shaped by his passion for trial advocacy, which began during his undergraduate and law school years through participation in mock trials, leading him to pursue criminal law before transitioning to civil practice.
Throughout his career, Perry has developed a particular interest in cases that involve both criminal and civil elements, especially wrongful death cases, a focus consistent in his work at the District Attorney's office and in his recent years as a civil practitioner. His expertise in handling such complex cases is expected to significantly enhance the firm's capabilities in representing clients in similar situations. One of Perry's recent notable cases involved a wrongful death suit against the City of Los Angeles where a speeding driver struck and killed a young woman at a dangerous intersection; through this litigation, Perry and his team exposed an unsafe condition that had led to an 800% increase in accidents over a decade, securing a positive outcome for the victim's family despite technical complexity.
In addition to his trial work, Perry has contributed significantly to legal scholarship, authoring articles on various topics including the intersection of the Fifth Amendment and civil discovery, spoliation of evidence, and state and federal public records requests. His involvement in the legal community extends to several professional associations where he holds leadership positions and actively participates in educational initiatives, serving on the Top Gun Event Committee for the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association and the Education Committee with the Orange County Bar Association while also holding board positions with the Consumer Attorneys of California's Inland Empire Chapter and membership in several other bar associations.
