We have worked with Joe Perl for several years and highly recommend him! Our experience is that he’s very knowledgeable, has great communication skills, is a pleasure to work with, and above all- he gets RESULTS! He’s not only easy to work with but he's creative, thinks outside the box, and is reliab...le to get the desired outcome from any given action in a reasonable amount of time and effort. You can’t go wrong with Mr. Perl- we HIGHLY recommend this attorney.

Happy Customer

Joseph did a great job on our case. A contractor has installed an insufficient beam in our house prior to us buying it. We didn't go to court, but the contractor settled for 90% of the cost.

President, Wavetherm Corporation

We hired Mr. Perl following a Google search of attorneys in the geographic area of our customer that owed us money. We hired him to try to recover money from a company that had owed us money for two years. He recovered the reduced amount that we had agreed to and took an acceptable fee from the rec...overed funds

If You Need Success, Call Joe, He'll Take Care Of The Rest!

I had two amazing interactions with Joseph Perl, one over the phone and the other in person. On my birthday Dec 5th 2016 I was sued by my college for 15,000. I had never been sued in my life. My only reference was what I'd seen on television. I read the court document to also discover my mom was bein...g sued . My mom co-signed the loan for me. My mom and I had 20 days to respond or an automatic judgement of 15,000 would be granted to the college. I found Joseph Perl through a google search, and thank God I did! When I called Joe, my hands were trembling with fear. I was scared over the potential outcome of my mother and I having our wages garnished. To my surprise when I called the office of Joseph Perl, Joe picked up the phone himself, no secretary . Immediately there's an automatic, direct connection with Joe. He asked me to explain my situation, I did. Joe gave me immediate advice/feedback regarding my case and how I could proceed. I didn't have to give my credit card info, hire him, zero commitment. He simply laid out all the facts and allowed me to choose what was right for me and in my own time. 3 minutes into the conversation and my hands were no longer trembling with fear. Joe put my fears at ease by laying out all possible scenarios and outcomes. I hung up the phone feeling hopeful and confident about the end result of my case. I did decide to work with Joe. My second experience with Joe, in person was extraordinarily positive. When I met with him at his office, he was prepared. Joe greeted me, then went to work immediately. I felt like Joe put himself in the clients perspective and was conscious that time was money; and saving money was crucial! I felt in my heart, he was there to truly help, and help the best way he knew how, with complete efficiency. At one point in the meeting Joe asked me personal detailed info about the case, that I should've knew but didn't. Joe was able to figure it out without my help because he's smart, resourceful, and overall just a really,really, good man, with a really, really, good heart. My case was settled with the best possible scenario. My mother and I are very happy! The name Joseph in Hebrew means 'he will add' and Joseph Perl has. Joseph Perl has added a sense of renewed self-esteem, worth, and resolve in my life. Please, let him do the same for you. Joseph Perl makes it a almost a breeze to get sued. Thank you Joe.

Excellent Attorney

Joe handled a very difficult loan company who was trying to sue us for non-payment of outlandish interest fees. He settled our case in a matter of a couple of months and charged us a reasonable fee for his outstanding services. I would highly recommend him.
