The Law Office of Roger Perez (also styled 'Law Offices of Roger A. Perez') is a solo practitioner firm headquartered at 427 S. Saint Mary's Street on the corner of Nueva and South St. Mary's in downtown San Antonio. Founded by Roger A. Perez, the firm has served Bexar County and the greater San Antonio area for more than three decades. Roger's practice is intentionally focused on individuals — people going through divorce, those accused of crimes, those injured in automobile accidents, and families needing wills, trusts and probate work — and he also represents entities before the City of San Antonio. Roger brings unusual perspective to personal-injury cases: of his 33+ years in practice, roughly nine were spent on the other side of the table representing insurance companies in civil matters. That defense-side experience is what the firm points to when explaining how it 'aggressively' represents injured clients against insurance carriers, handling property damage claims, car rental coordination, and helping arrange necessary medical care along the way. On the criminal side, the firm says it has 'successfully represented numerous individuals accused of a crime' and is committed to 'vigorously defending your legal and constitutional rights.' The firm also leans on deep San Antonio roots. Roger is the youngest son of Porfirio and Annie C. Perez, who owned and operated a family grocery store and bakery on San Antonio's West Side. He attended Central Catholic High School, then the University of Texas at Austin (BBA in Finance and Marketing) and the University of Texas School of Law (JD, 1987). He was admitted to the State Bar of Texas on May 6, 1988, and is also admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Texas Southern and Western District/Bankruptcy Courts. He is a member of the San Antonio Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas, has been Martindale-Hubbell 'BV' rated, and was named one of SA Scene Magazine's Best San Antonio Lawyers four years running (2013–2016). From 1991 to 1995 he served two terms (the maximum allowed) as the District 1 representative on the San Antonio City Council.
