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.

An Outstanding Attorney

Mr. William Permutt has handled all of my legal matters for the past 12 years. In my opinion, he is extremely competent, diligent and thorough. He keeps you informed throughout any legal matter he is handling for you and promptly responds to any questions you may have. Mr. Permutt is very knowledg...eable, articulate, patient and kind. He has been a steady source of support for me through some difficult situations. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.
