An aggressive litigator and fierce advocate for clients who have been wronged or injured, Karina Perez Ilić has diverse experience in the field of civil litigation, including motor vehicle collisions, catastrophic workplace accidents, wrongful death and more.

A Florida native, she got her start as an insurance defense lawyer in a statewide firm.

“I made partner young, but as luck would have it, I ended up having a case against Vanguard Attorneys and a life-changing opportunity presented itself,” she says. “For the past four-and-a-half years, I’ve been running Vanguard and helping people.”

At Vanguard, Perez Ilić is devoted to giving clients superior service to ensure they receive the best possible outcome. She says being on the plaintiff’s side has been more personally rewarding.

“It takes naturally competitive people to get into litigation and trial law. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t competitive and driven,” she says. “My clients have one chance at justice, so I think about if I was in their shoes, who I would want to be there for me. It motivates me to give my best.”

Working at Vanguard Attorneys allows Karina Perez Ilić to devote a substantial amount of time to each client.

“Although we could be bigger, we recognize the importance of every case and want to give each one the attention it deserves,” she explains. “It’s important in my industry, as insurance companies know which lawyers do and don’t try cases. We’re smaller by design and we do it for our clients.”

Perez Ilić has been recognized by Best of the Bar™ and as one of Super Lawyers’ rising stars.
