Arias and Pereira, PLLC is a boutique law firm in Coral Gables, Florida, founded by Maggie Arias and Eduardo X. Pereira. The firm concentrates its practice on immigration law, removal proceedings, and criminal defense, representing clients in both state and federal matters. Between them, the founders bring more than 30 years of combined experience in the criminal justice system.
Clients turn to the firm for representation in removal proceedings and criminal defense cases spanning state and federal courts, with immigration law forming a core part of the practice alongside criminal matters. Eduardo X. Pereira has litigated Stand Your Ground defenses in homicide cases, including a dismissal that made him the first attorney in Florida to secure that outcome under the statute. The firm's Coral Gables base serves the Miami area, where Arias and Pereira position their practice around direct attorney involvement in immigration and criminal cases alike.
