Best Attorney

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 expla...ined 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

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

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 ple...ad 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.

Exceptional Defense Attorney Look No Further He is the One!

From the 1st conversation on the phone I knew he was the one to represent me against a simple assault and harassment charge with a neighbor. In my short experience in seeking an attorney, none presented themselves with such professionalism and thorough knowledge of the law, the court system and attor...neys. While one attorney I met asked if I brought the money within 5 minutes of speaking to me. Another wanted me to retain them without a face to face meeting. Alan not only spoke to me on the phone, he made arrangements to meet face to face to discuss my case. In our face to face meeting I never felt pressured as he was approachable, charismatic and considerate of my emotional and financial situation. He spoke of his accomplishments proudly and reassured me not of the outcome of my case but of his expertise in the system and success with similar cases. As soon as he arrived at the courtroom I felt a sense of relief as that is not a place you want to be alone. He knew the security personnel, the prosecutor, and even pinpointed when the judge would be arriving. His confidence put my mind at ease. He warned me prior that it may take several court appearances but would fight alongside me to get the best possible outcome for me. So I was ecstatic to find he accomplished everything in the 1st court appearance. Case was dismissed and charges were dropped. He is extremely good at reading people and knew I was the real victim here so was not willing to have the case go any other way. Once the decision was made to have the charges dropped and we were waiting to go before the judge, he took out a book which demonstrated to me his enthusiasm to better himself in his field. It’s no wonder he has a 9.7 AVVO rating, but in my eyes he deserves a 10 and beyond. He is an honest, down to earth, compassionate attorney who is willing to go the extra mile for his potential and future clients like myself. I would recommend him to everyone I know as it is hard to find a good one whose not out for himself. I’m glad I found him!

We highly recommend Mr. Alan Peyrouton if you are looking for a Honest Knowledgeable Lawyer

If you are looking for an Honest, Knowledgeable Lawyer, we highly recommend Mr. Alan Peyrouton. Our Nephew was detained in Texas and then transferred to the Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey. We were not getting any information or any answers from our Texas Lawyer. I had send an email to Mr. ...Peyrouton and he responded with in minutes back to me asking for us to call his office. I then contacted him and he took his own time to listen and answer questions that I had. Not only that my after I had explained to my husband that night what Mr. Peyrouton had informed me my husband had questions he wanted to ask and Mr. Peyrouton was willing to talk with us a 2nd time and talk with my husband. We are very Thankful to Mr. Peyrouton for giving us this time and talking with us. Mr. Peyrouton if very knowledgeable and very professional in how he answers and presents himself. So from our experience, If you are looking for a strong lawyer who will fight for you and your rights, Mr. Alan Peyrouton is the lawyer you need. We highly recommend him.

Iron Man

I call him Iron Man because he kind of looks likef Tony Stark, and because he came in clutch like a superhero. We took my case to trial and he was amazing! It was Alan against everybody and he didn't back down...there were like 20 cops in the court during trial and Alan was not intimidated at all.... His memory is incredible. During his closing argument he mentioned all of the cases in NJ that were relevant to my defense and I was in shock because he was not reading from any paper. He's also the most humble lawyer I ever met. He's my lawyer for life!
