Sorry I hired her...

From the start, Susan Perkins wanted me to and take a plea. I wouldn't. I was not guilty of DUI. My tox report showed that to be so. She "negotiated" a sentence with the DA, meant for high or very high rate of recidivism. And told me to "hurry up" while I was in a cell for the 1st time in my life, ...at 60 years old, a school teacher for 29 years and only a parking ticket to my name! Had she done even ONE of the 8 items I listed in writing for her to do in my defense, I would not have been found guilty. Like, getting the EYE WITNESS to the trial, and so much more... She came to the filthy pig sty, jail, she sent me to one time. She had the audacity to say to me, "I told you to take a plea!!!" Do NOT hire Sue Perkins!! You'll be as sorry as I am right now, almost two years later, still on probation, still on a breathalyzer, finished "alcohol class" and paid thousands in fines. And, i STILL dont have my license back! MA law says one year. She "negotiated 1 1/2 years for me. So, she is horrible at defense, horrible at negotiations, and frankly, a horrible person, too!

FANTASTIC!

Mrs. Perkins is truly one of a kind! She’s extremely personable! I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a difficult situation. She was always available when I called her, as well as threw texting. It’s nice to know that there are Attorney’s out there that actually care about their Clien...ts! Susan T. Perkins is definitely one of them!

Impressive

I got my first DUI a couple of months ago. I was referred to Susan from a friend who used her for his DUI. From the first meeting I knew she would be able to help me. She printed out the law and went over it with me and listened to what happened the night I was arrested. She was always available if ...I had a question by text or cell phone. She got my case amended to a reckless driving with a 20 day loss of license. I would highly recommend her to anyone charged with a DUI I didn't lose my job because of her!

A difficult situation

I went to susan with a legal case i needed cousaling on, A little nervous on the possible end result. She listened intevively and asked questions to be clear on things, She told me she would get the police report and talk to the people invovled,which she did within 2 or three days.Susan then sent me... paperwork to let me know when the case was and where. I think she sent the paperwork the same day because i received the paperwork fast. When she could not reach me by phone she emailed me to keep me abreast of the situation. We talked about the payment arrangements and worked out and agreement that would work for both of us. I feel like her price was fair and her service was excellent. She is my new family lawyer. She also didn't sugar coat my situation she was honest but realistic, and thats what i needed to navigate the court system. Superb.

Compassionate and Real

I hired Susan for my divorce. She was great, answering all my calls, texts and emails very quickly. She always returns my calls and sends me all documents coming into or going out of the office in my case. She also is very compassionate and genuine...she is real. I recommend her to anyone going th...rough a divorce.
