Very knowledgeable Lawyer

This review is in regards to my experience with Mr. Permutt. I used Mr. Permutt to represent me in my complex divorce which included a difficult custody battle. I was extremely happy to have Mr. Permutt represent me. He is extremely knowledgeable and his years of working in the field truly showed. He... was able to make my stressful situation more tolerable. He basically held my hand through the whole process and was very accessible either by phone or email to explain and go over any worries I had. Now that this whole very stressful situation is finally over I can say I would highly recommend him without any question or hesitation. I was so thankful I was referred to him by an acquaintance who also used him and was very happy with her outcome. His knowledge and experience resulted in a great outcome that will insure that my children will thrive post divorce and I will be financially stable. Just a side note he also will be doing my real estate transaction. I am happy I will be able to use him for that as well since we worked so well together.

Not a Trial Atty nor Strong Negotiating Atty. Stay Away Period!

I hired William Purmutt to represent me in a very contested and jaw wrenching divorce and custody case. All I can say is if you want to experience fear, anxiety and get knocked down every time you ask a question or have a concern this is the man! I had to sit down on my own and review my own custody ...agreement page by page without any help from him. He will just forward emails he receives from the opposition directly to me with no advise or communication. He will not negotiate for me period!!! If the opposition is well known William submits to them. He acts like he is representing the other side all the time. He says and advise one thing and then does the opposite when he is under pressure. He is afraid of a Trial and panics a lot. I have lost thousands of dollars by retaining him. I have gotten second opinions and I was told my case was misrepresented from the beginning because of him. All he has is a sense of humor like everyone else says. Just be aware. If you have children this is not the man you go to represent you to protect their welfare. I am so sorry to have to leave this review but I really would not want to see someone else going through the agony I endured with this attorney.

Anyone can say anything they want online anonymously. I do not want to embarrass this client nor do I feel the need to defend myself. My reputation for the past 42 years speaks for itself. I stand by my handling of this case. I will just say that what is stated is neither accurate nor true. I am, however, sorry this client feels this way and I wish this client the best of luck.

William Permutt

William Permutt is an excellent lawyer. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life, my divorce and my return to court for money owed to me for my children. He is courteous, professional , knowledgeable and understanding. On top of all that he makes you feel welcome in his office with his k...indness and sense of humor. I highly recommend him.

Awesome Lawyer

I retained Mr Permutt for my divorce and custody case. It was both legally and emotionally complex and difficult. William was extremely knowledgeable in the law and very supportive during a difficult time in my life. He guided me and assisted me at each stage of my case. His advice and caring about... my case was invaluable. I got a great result and I was not bankrupted in the process. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone who needs legal assistance. He is always available and will always return your call or email and answer your every question.

Great lawyer

I hired Mr. Permutt for a very sensitive family matter. He makes me feel like I am his only client and my case is the most important case he's ever handled. He promptly returns all my phone calls and is spectacular in the courtroom. I cannot say enough good things about how he has handled my case. G...reat lawyer and extremely knowledgeable.
