Tess Perica Is A Licensed Realtor And Attorney Whose Passion Is To Help People Using Both Professions
B
orn and raised in Edwardsville, Tess Perica graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Kentucky and earned her Juris Doctor from the Southern Illinois University School of Law, where she again ranked near the top of her class. She served as Justice in Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity and earned Dean’s List honors multiple times.
When selling a property - Perica Properties handles both residential and commercial listings - the mother-daughter duo has found that the seller is often overwhelmed at the idea of having to “get things in order” to be able to show it.
Upon graduation, she joined her dad, Bob Perica, at The Perica Law Firm bringing a fresh perspective to the firm while continuing the zealous representation of a growing client base. With experience including the Madison County State’s Attorney’s office, the Illinois Governor’s office, and the United States Studies Center in Sydney, Australia, Tess Perica strengthens The Perica Law Firm with a broad view of legal and practical issues.
The team’s knowledge of the area and enthusiasm for helping their clients realize their dreams, plus Perica’s technology and social media skills, truly sets them apart and is a winning combination for success.
“At our firm you will not pay a fee unless we win your case,” she said. “In addition, we like to pride ourselves on being very accessible to our clients.” In addition to practicing law, Perica realized a life-long dream to become a licensed real estate agent joining forces with her Mom, Melissa Perica, as the Perica Properties Team at Gori Realtors. “I have always had a passion to work in real estate and the law firm gives me that flexibility I need,” she said. “Working with people is the common denominator between my two professions,” and working with her parents makes it doubly enjoyable.
“But we can come in and show them quickly how to declutter and ‘stage’ their home, and get it on the market right away," she said. "We can organize everything for them.”
Knowing that community involvement is a worthwhile endeavor for any one, Perica is involved in: The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (BAMSL); Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA); Madison County Bar Association; American Association for Justice (AAJ); Alton-Wood River Bar Association; Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA); Young Friends of St. Louis Children’s Hospital; Humane Society of Missouri, Women’s Leadership Council; Greater Gateway Association of Realtors (GGAR); and the St. Louis Zoo Young Professionals.
