Frei, Mims and Perushek LLP

United States 2025

Overview

Frei, Mims & Perushek has evolved over the past 40 years into a partnership of consistently effective trial attorneys committed to the highest standards of legal representation. The partners have spent decades representing the injured in cases involving medical malpractice, catastrophic injury and death, product liability and all areas of personal injury litigation. Each of the partners has the highest (AV) peer-review rating by Martindale-Hubbell and is a highly experienced civil litigator.
What makes our Virginia personal injury lawyers successful? Our goal in every case is to win for you what you deserve, and we are passionate about achieving justice for our clients. We offer you two key traits: Experience and a commitment to the highest standards of legal representation. Experience in the law matters in many ways. One key is trial experience because although many cases do settle without a trial, you need an attorney who can take your case to trial and has a track record of winning in court. Not all good lawyers are good trial lawyers.

Another factor is legal analysis, which we believe is one of our greatest strengths. Among our successful cases are those other firms turned down. We accepted those cases because our analysis showed a pathway to success based on the law and legal strategy. Another factor in winning your case might be the experts your attorney identifies to testify on your behalf. Over the years, we have developed relationships with some of the best experts in the country who help establish standard of care, lost wages or lifetime care requirements, equipment and property safety standards among others.

Client Comments

A strong relationship between a client and their law firm is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Open communication, trust, and collaboration ensure that attorneys understand each client’s unique goals and needs. Choosing the right firm means finding a team with the experience, knowledge, and dedication to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
Client comments reflect personal opinions and individual experiences. Every case is different, and outcomes depend on specific facts and circumstances. Past results and testimonials do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters. For personalized legal advice, consult directly with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your specific situation and provide tailored guidance.
