Nia Perkins

Competent but communication could be more consistent

I hired Nia Perkins at Pettit Kohn to represent my small business in a wrongful termination claim. Her background in labor and employment litigation was evident from the start; she clearly understood the legal landscape and her recognition by Best Lawyers in that field is well-deserved. The strategy she developed was sound, and we achieved a settlement that protected the company. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Nia was knowledgeable, there were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails or calls, sometimes leaving me in the dark for over a week on matters I felt were time-sensitive. The billing was precise, but the process felt somewhat impersonal at times, lacking the proactive updates I expected given the stakes. For straightforward legal matters where you need solid defense work, Nia Perkins is a capable attorney with the right expertise, particularly in employment defense. Just be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding communication cadence and to follow up persistently if you need timely information.
