Darla Perea, Receptionist
After a long career as a Nursing Assistant for the elderly in long term care,
we met Darla when she agreed to become a whistleblower against an abusive
nursing home. Her experience led to an interest in the law, and we are glad
to have her here at MCML. Darla is the friendly voice and the welcoming smile
at the front desk of this office. In addition to her receptionist duties;
Darla provides behind the scenes support to the attorneys and staff. She has
completed the Paralegal Certificate Program and is finishing the Associates
Degree for Paralegal Studies. Darla enjoys spending time with her family,
especially “hanging out’ with the grandsons, reading, drawing and
painting, and is an avid Tomb Raider (Laura Croft) video game player.
