Review Alan Peyrouton

Best Attorney

Posted by

Let me start by saying that Alan and Kevin gave me my life back. I was been charged with different charges and facing over 15 years in jail. When i first walk into their office i was scared and uncertain of what my future was going to be but thanks to these two great men i got my life back. I explained my situation and how i was falsely accused and they could see that i was telling the true. They became more than a bodyguard on my behalf. They defended me like if i was their son or a relative. Expended extended hours on my case, any other lawyer would charge a very large amount of money. They did an awesome job and i have a personal appreciation for them. The outcome of my situation was incredibly. Didn't have to go to trial even though they were more than ready, no jail time, no probation or PTI. For my career it was awesome because i have a secret clearance and anything other than a small fine would jeopardize it. I would like to thank them and If you ever need a knowledge lawyer call them they are the best. Quisiera empesar por decir que Alan y Kevin me devolvieron mi vida. Estaba en la situation que podia ver unos 15 años en la carcel. La primera vez que entre a su officina yo tenia miedo e inseguro de lo que esperaba del futuro. Le explique mi situacion e inmediatamente se dieron cuenta que decia la verdad sobre las falsas acusaciones. En ese momento tomaron mi caso y se volvieron mas que mis guarda espalda. Pelearon por mi como si yo fuera su hijo o algun pariente. Trabajaron muchisimas horas que cualquier otro abogado me ubiera cobrado muchisimo. En este caso tenia un dos por uno. Le tengo un aprecio personal a los dos. Al final los resultados fueron sorpredientes. No tube ningun tipo de probacion o PTI. Para el trabajo que hago cualquier cargo que no sea una pequeña multa afectaria mi trabajo. Ademas tengo una segurida secreta y para aquirir ese tipo de suguridad es muy dificil. Le quiero dar las gracias a los dos y recomendarlos a cualquiera que tenga algun problema con la ley

Brilliant, caring legal mind(s)

Posted by

Once again I find myself in a position to retain the services of Peyrouton Law Firm. While unfortunate, I must say, the silver lining of these circumstances are the unequalled representation of, in my opinion, the best, most hands on legal team one could ever hope for. I found Mr. Peyrouton quite by accident, calling attorneys for an unfortunate criminal matter I'd been entangled in. He immediately put me at ease, fully explaining the process, what to expect, and how to proceed. When I met his associate, Kevin Brown, who exhibited the same values as Mr. Peyrouton, I knew immediately I'd made the right choice. This is a first rate firm, that prioritizes your defense, cares about you, and follows up meticulously. If you need representation for yourself, or someone you care about, look no further.

He was honest about the whole process from the beginning. He told me so many things I didn’t know and the whole thing went exactly as he said . One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I have been a client of Alan Peyrouton for 10 years. He has always treated me with respect and professionalism. He is extremely knowledgeable and very prompt to get back to you with any questions or concerns you may have, he really cares about his clients which is important to me and something I did not experience when I hired other attorneys. I recommend Alan to my friends and family to help them with any legal matters they have. Thank you.

DRUG CASE DISMISSED! 1ST OFFENSE! NO CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE PROGRAM!

Posted by

I had in incident where I ran into the law in July of 2017. This was my first ever criminal charge. Scary process. Went searching on the internet and came across Alan. He pretty much left everything out on the table. And weighed my options. Plead guilty, and it stays on my record for 5+ years, or plead not guilty and we fight it. Best case scenario I did probation for 6 months to a year, and I use something called a “get-out-of-jail” free card, which you only get once in your lifetime. I told him let’s fight it. As of December 10th, 2017. All charges that were put upon me has been dismissed, and I’m a free man. This man is something special. He told me , “this was an early Christmas gift..” after court lol, so Merry Christmas to Alan and the Peyrouton Law Firm, I appreciate it greatly.

Any honest attorneys left? Yes there are.

I had a recent consult with Alan Peyrouton. After a pretty detailed discussion, I did not hire him because he could not help me with my particular case. But that's the best part about it - his honesty. We have all heard stories where lawyers will just take your money when they know there is a small chance of winning the case. Sometimes, that makes the public not trust lawyers that much, and I am one of those cynical people. However, I found Allen's demeanor, attitude, and knowledge of his topics to be very solid and professional. He was candid about his abilities, and what he could and could not do. He also related a few cases where he had some success when other attorneys didn't. When you get a little older as I am, and learn how to separate the wheat from the chaff, you start to realize when someone is being truthful about themselves, rather than bragging. He impressed me with his candid remarks, honesty and integrity. Based upon that, and my experience speaking with him, I would recommend him.

Best Criminal lawyer!

Posted by

I was facing serious criminal charges punishable by time in prison. I have consulted several attorneys but was not satisfied with their advice. I was referred to Mr. Peyrouton, by a friend, and hired him to represent me. Mr. Peyrouton explained all my options, was extremely knowledgeable, confident and optimistic. Thanks to Mr. Peyrouton's extraordinary work, my case was resolved and I was placed in probation, instead of going to prison. This result exceeded my expectations. I'll be eternally grateful to Mr. Peyrouton for his magnificent representation.

I endorse this lawyer. Alan is very dedicated to his clients. He realizes that each person's situation is a little different and calls for a different remedy. Alan is a solo practitioner, when you hire Alan you get Alan. Immigration can be a complex maze to negotiate, and Alan will be with you every step of the way.
