About Attorney daniel perez

I am proudly a University of Florida  alumnus where I received both my degrees.  In May of 1999, I received my  Bachelor of Arts in History, with Honors, with a Minor in Secondary  Education.  In May of 2002, I then received my Juris Doctorate, with  Honors, from the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 

During my law school years, I interned, and later was employed, as a  Federal Law Clerk to the Honorable William Wagner for the Northern  District of Florida in Gainesville.  I also served as a Certified Legal  Intern at the Virgil Hawkins Civil Clinic at the University of Florida  Levin College of Law where I assisted and advised indigent clients on  their family law cases.  In recognition of my efforts and dedication to  the clients of the Civil Clinic I received the prestigious Book Award  for the Clinic.  During law school, I was President of the Spanish  American Law Student Association (SALSA), a member of the Law College  Council and a College of Law Ambassador.
 

After leaving my employment as a Federal Law Clerk in October of 2002, I  was appointed as an Assistant State Attorney in Florida's Fifth  Judicial Circuit in Ocala where I received invaluable experience in  criminal law.  During my employment there, I prosecuted criminal cases  in the Felony, Juvenile, and Misdemeanor Divisions.  I prosecuted  crimes, such as Assaults, Batteries, DUIs, Domestic Violence Cases, Drug  Offenses, Sex Offenses, Thefts and Traffic Offenses.
 

While an Assistant State Attorney, I taught legal aspects as it  pertained to correctional officers and police cadets for the Central  Florida Community College's Criminal Justice Institute.  I also  teach Student Resource Officers the law for the Attorney General's  Office's Florida Crime Prevention Institute. 
 

In December of 2007, I decided to open my own law practice to serve the  needs of the citizens of North Central Florida in matters of Criminal  Defense, Family Law and General Civil Law matters.
