"JP and I worked together on a serious criminal case involving a potential decade long prison sentence. She was immensely helpful in getting command of the voluminous discovery and spotting important angles from which it could be attacked. I would strongly recommend speaking with her to anyone"
"I endorse Joanna. We've worked together on several cases and she is always professional and well prepared. I would recommend her services without hesitation."
"I endorse Joanna because I have worked with Joanna many times and observed her in action dozens of other times in Court. Her knowledge of N.J. law and procedure are an enormous benefit to her clients. Just as important is her amiable personality and professional conduct that has earned her the respect of Judges and allows her to achieve the best possible results for her clients."
"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."
