CORAL GABLES, FL, September 30, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Erik A. Perez, Esq., has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Perez has distinguished himself as an expert in condominium and homeowners association law, serving as a shareholder and co-founder of Perez Mayoral – HOA, Condo & Business Lawyers in Coral Gables since 2021. In this capacity, he is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the firm, ensuring that every client receives the highest level of customer service. He has implemented innovative systems such as updated action plans that provide clients with real-time visibility into their cases.

Additionally, Mr. Perez leads training for partners and associates on legal developments, including recent appellate court opinions and their impact on firm practices. His role extends to marketing strategy, collaborating with the executive team on budgeting and planning, and hosting educational webinars and seminars for homeowners to keep them informed about changes in the law affecting community associations.

Under Mr. Perez's leadership, the firm has expanded its reach to six regional offices across Florida, making it possible for any homeowner in the state to access strong legal representation within an hour's drive. He considers providing homeowners with access to justice, particularly in cases marked by significant power imbalances, to be his most significant professional achievement. Unlike other firms that handle such cases selectively, his firm accepts every homeowner case where they can make a difference, establishing itself as the only practice in Florida managing this work at scale.

Mr. Perez's firm focuses on representing home and unit owners in disputes with their community associations, but it also maintains a robust commercial litigation practice that accounts for approximately 20 to 30% of its caseload. This includes handling breach of contract disputes, promissory note disputes and consumer disputes between businesses and their clients, representing hundreds of companies throughout Florida across a range of industries.

Mr. Perez emphasizes that his firm exists to give homeowners facing association disputes somewhere to turn for real guidance and support. He notes that while other firms distinguish themselves through big-name attorneys or aggressive marketing, his practice has always centered on customer service first. Because every homeowner brings different goals and concerns to a dispute, he stresses that the firm tailors its approach to each client's specific situation, aiming to ease the stress of the process and handle each case the way the client wants.

Prior to founding his current firm, Mr. Perez served as an associate attorney at Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell P.A. in Miami from 2018 to 2020.

Mr. Perez's educational background laid a strong foundation for his achievements in law and business. He earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables in 2014, graduating on the Dean's List. He was admitted to the school on a Dean's Merit Award scholarship after scoring in about the 90th percentile on his second LSAT attempt. During law school, he participated actively in moot court competitions and litigation skills programs that honed his oral advocacy abilities.

Before pursuing his law degree, Mr. Perez graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Business Administration in international business from Florida International University in Miami in 2011. He completed college a year early while working for both his grandfather's cafeteria and his uncle's accounting office, experiences that fostered his early interest in business operations and client service. Mr. Perez has been admitted to practice law before the State of Florida since 2015 and before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida since 2017.

Mr. Perez's success is attributed not only to personal dedication but also to collaboration with an exceptional business partner whose intelligence and motivation have been integral to building the firm's reputation statewide. He credits his family for instilling perseverance and discipline.

Civic engagement is a vital aspect of Mr. Perez's professional identity. He volunteers with Educate Tomorrow and Elevate Miami Church — where he assists with fundraisers and provides legal guidance when needed — and supports judicial fundraisers aimed at promoting good judges within Florida's legal system. As a mentor through Voices for Children, he is actively involved in supporting youth development by being matched with mentees who benefit from his guidance.

Recognition for Mr. Perez's work is reflected in numerous awards received by both himself and his firm.
