"As a former prosecutor I was opposing counsel to Ms. Perilli on several matters in municipal court. Ms. Perilli is an outstanding attorney. Whether it be DWI/DUI, criminal, or traffic/speeding, she was always thoroughly prepared and a very tough adversary. I have great respect for Ms. Perilli and strongly endorse this lawyer."
