Review Robert Perry

Outstanding lawyer, and a genuine person

Posted by

Let me start by saying that if you are here and reading these reviews, you are doing your due diligence and I am here to share my experience. Rob represented me in a very unusual case where my spouse initiated criminal complaints in the Internationally thereby attempting to take leverage during a divorce. My spouse obtained a restraining order on me in NJ and then there were earth-shattering allegations on me and my family by misusing one of the most draconian laws as weapons (Google “Section 498A” if you are interested). With nothing but lies, allegations and endless money, my spouse had some of the highly paid attorneys on her side to litigate. Rob believed in me and represented me. He went above and beyond to expose my spouse’s litigation tactics to the Judge. He was reachable when I needed him as things in my case were evolving rapidly. He was always on time for all hearings. He even talked to my attorneys overseas to understand how my spouse was carefully laying a trap for a favorable matrimonial settlement by pursuing criminal actions to jeopardize my immigration status. I admire Rob as a person and have nothing with respect and regards for him. He is meticulous about his work and a truly honest and genuine person. He can handle some of the most ridiculous bullies in court with a smile. Let me assure you that you will be in good hands.

Knowledgeable and Responsive

From the moment I met Mr. Perry I knew he was honest and trustworthy. Mr. Perry stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Without the help of Mr. Perry, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. He was very knowledgeable and always there to help me ease my stress and answer any questions that I may have even after office hours or late at night. I seriously couldn’t have made a better choice by picking Mr. Perry and his team to represent me and my case. Thank you for all your hard work and making sure that justice was served.

I would highly recommend Robert He is highly competent and has given me strength to move forward. Call him if you need an excellent lawyer on your side. He is definitely our lawyer of choice for all legal matters moving forward.

FANTASTIC

Posted by

I rarely leave reviews, and I never in my wildest dreams thought I would leave one for a lawyer. Yet here I am, astounded at the service that I received from two lawyers. I originally met with Robert Perry over a temporary restraining order that was served on me by my father. My father is in the early to mid stages of dementia; my 2 siblings and I went to check on him after being cut off from all communications. His ex-wife, not our mother, swooped in to help him when he started showing signs of confusion. My brother and I have been helping him for the last few months and have set up full time home care so he was safe. The ex- wife found this a great opportunity to grab his assets. To make a long story short, her behavior was so egregious that a bank attendant notified Adult Protective Services of her predatory behavior. After our welfare check, we were served a temporarily restrained order orchestrated by the ex-wife. Mr. Perry assured us this was the most ridiculous restraining order that he has seen in his career and not to worry. Nonetheless, he took a detailed history of the past ten years, left no stone unturned and prepared for what I thought would be a total BS case. Unfortunately, Mr. Perry was called away for a family emergency and wanted his partner, Mr. Rosenberg, to defend us rather than postpone the hearing. Mr. Perry, Mr. Rosenberg and I met on a Sunday for three hours to bring our new lawyer up to speed on all the minute details. By the way, we were not charged for these billable hours, nor for Mr. Rosenberg’s court time. Surprisingly, the court hearing lasted 6 hours because my fathers’ lawyer was a long-winded pompous lawyer. Because of our earlier prep work and Mr. Rosenberg’s calm cool demeanor, it was a no contest. We won hands down and the restraining order was dismissed. Sorry, expounded a little but I had to, so you know how unbelievable this law firm is. These lawyers are not typical in my experience. They are not lawyers; they are caring professionals that practice law. That is the highest compliment I can bestow upon them. They are a testament to their profession; our world would be a very different place if all lawyers tried to emulate them.

Outstanding Individual, exceptional service.

Posted by

Mr. Perry was truly phenomenal. When my special needs daughter had an incident at school that required a court appearance, he took the time to make sure she absolutely understand what was going to happen and worked hard to ally her every fear. This could have been a traumatizing experience for her but his confidence and level of professionalism, not to mention his kindness and pursuit of the best possible outcome, made it so my daughter has no lasting worry or fear of a permanent record. I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and kindness towards my daughter and will recommend him and the firm to anyone who asks.

With respect to the questions I had regarding my case, Mr. Perry was very patient in taking the time to explain the legal process, and answer any questions that I had. I highly recommend Mr. Robert M. Perry; Attorney at Law.

Skilled representation beyond any expectations

Posted by

Robert Perry is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and aggressive about his career and helping his clients. Rob goes out of his way to make certain you are receiving the best representation available. Rob is truly is far more than just another attorney; he is kind, honest, straight forward, attentive, easy to talk to, available when it matters most, confident, aggressive in your favor, and treats you like your case is the only thing that matters to him when you are speaking with him. For my case, I had been in touch with three other attorneys whom all referred me to other attorneys either because my case wasn’t big enough or they lacked the knowledge and/ or experience. During this process, I was referred to Robert Perry. Rob took immediate action and within two business days of working with Rob and Daniel Rosenburg, my case was ultimately resolved… in my favor! To this day, if I have any question I can contact Rob and he takes my call seriously and compassionately. Without Rob and Dan, my experience would have been a negative one. They saved my career and my family. I would recommend Robert Perry to anyone seeking legal counsel or administrative representation!

Traffic tickets

Posted by

I talked to Mr. Perry a few times on the phone before he represented me in court. Talking to Rob was like shooting the breeze with a buddy, but when it came down to business, he was all business because he knew his stuff in the courtroom. He prepared me for the serious charges I was facing. During court, he was attentive to my questions and concerns and focused on getting me the best deal possible. Being a former prosecutor, he's very familiar with both sides of the law. He knew just how far he could push the prosecution to get me the awesome deal that I received in the end. After my appearance in front of the judge, his contract with me was basically finished. But he took the time and walked me out to the "pay fines here" window and asked if I had anymore questions or concerns. He offered me some useful advice regarding my newly acquired points and told me that if I had anymore questions, don't hesitate to contact him. Although the stupid act that I did to get myself in this situation will never happen again, I definitely would have Rob representing me if I were to receive another ticket.

I find him to be a bright, compassionate advocate for his clients. His approach is one that is aggressive in advocacy, yet within professional boundaries. He undoubtedly achieves better results for his clients than many of his contemporaries due to the relationships he's established and reputation he's earned throughout the legal community. I have, and will continue to refer clients to Mr. Perry, when I have a conflict, confident my clients will thank me for the outstanding work he will have performed on their behalf.
