Brooke Elizabeth Perez's Philosophy:
"My job is to ethically and zealously represent the injured workers of the State of Florida in order to insure that they receive all monetary and medical benefits which they are entitled to under the law. It is my job to hold the insurance carriers and employers to the standards which are legislatively demanded of them while making the injured workers' experience through the workers' compensation system as beneficial as possible."
