About Carissa
Carissa Peebles earned her J.D. from Nova Southeastern University. She completed the rigorous curriculum there and entered the practice of law in New York. Her academic training provided the foundation for courtroom procedure, legal research, and client advocacy that inform her work today.
She is admitted to practice in New York and holds membership in the New York State Bar. After law school she moved into private practice and is currently an attorney at The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C. Her professional path has been built on steady casework and courtroom exposure in state matters.
In day-to-day practice Peebles handles legal research, drafts pleadings, manages discovery, and prepares witnesses for hearings. She spends much of her time assembling evidence and framing legal arguments. Those tasks require attention to detail, careful organization, and clear communication with clients and colleagues.
Her approach to cases is practical and methodical. She prioritizes written clarity in motions and correspondence, and she focuses on ensuring clients understand the steps involved in their matters. She relies on careful preparation rather than dramatic gestures to advance a client's position.
Outside of the office she maintains professional connections through the New York State Bar. That membership keeps her engaged with developments in state law and procedural changes that can affect active cases. Peebles also takes part in firm-based collaborative work, coordinating with colleagues on civil matters that arise in New York courts.
Her current practice is based at The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C., where she represents clients in matters governed by New York law. She handles litigation-related tasks, client counseling, and courtroom work as part of her role at the firm. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in New York.
