Chicago Area Settlement Planning Consultant joins Ringler

Mr. Perkins joined the Structured Settlement industry after an extensive career in Finance as a former CPA and having held a management position at Protiviti's Credit Risk Management practice. His success in settlement services is directly attributed to his financial background that helps to bring credibility to the table. Having most recently worked for Structured Financial Associates, Mr. Perkins' expertise in working with insurance carriers, self-insured individuals and plaintiff attorneys, helps him settle claims with the claimants' future financial needs in mind.

Mr. Perkins and Case Administrator, Gina Sanders, will become part of the Ringler team in Chicago, led by Mike Casey and Pat Kilinsky. Kilinsky says, "Adding Derek to our team makes good business sense. His strong financial background is a great benefit to the settlement claimants, insurance professionals and attorneys that work with us. We are excited about Derek's skills in providing customers with objective, customized settlement solutions that yield a win for all parties involved."

Mr. Perkins commented, "The decision to make the move to Ringler was an easy one. I have long-admired Mike Casey and Pat Kilinsky in the industry and the opportunity to work with them was a perfect fit. In addition, the Ringler model, the direction that the company is moving toward, and the vision of the Management Team fits perfectly with my personal business model for the future."

Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer, Melissa E. Price, welcomes Derek Perkins to the Ringler organization saying, "We're truly excited to have Derek at Ringler.  I have worked with Derek since he joined our industry. He's a consummate professional and admirable colleague, coming on board at an important time of growth for our company.
