Scott Perry has been a noted trial lawyer for over 20 years. He is proud to have obtained many of the largest verdicts and settlements in the DMV (Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia). Scott’s achievements were specially recognized when he was inducted into the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invite only group of the Top 100 Plaintiff’s lawyers in the United States. Scott is one of only two members of the Inner Circle in Virginia. Scott is also a Board-Certified Trial Lawyer, having undergone an extensive process demonstrating his proficiency in this area of law.
Scott regularly takes on the largest corporations in the U.S. in product liability, aviation, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases.
While Scott has handled varied cases over the years, he enjoys cases where he can make change. For example, Scott once represented a family in a devastating case involving a drowning on the Potomac River. The victim, an 18-year-old Filipino immigrant, became a rowing coach while on summer break from his Ivy League university. Unfortunately, one beautiful day, the victim was thrown from the launch and tragically drowned—despite being a strong swimmer.
When Perry investigated the case further, he discovered that the sport of rowing in the U.S. fell well behind its European counterparts when it came to safety. Coaches in other countries are required to wear special life vests and safety lanyards—and he successfully argued that safety measures like these could have prevented this tragedy. Perry’s represented families in several other sporting injury and wrongful death cases since then.
