This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Ethical Concerns Regarding Custody Litigation Involving Abuse Claims

In my opinion, this attorney prioritizes fathers’ custody claims even when credible evidence of abuse is presented, and I believe this approach puts children at risk. Based on cases I’ve observed, this attorney appears to disregard documented abuse allegations in favor of an ideological agenda about... fathers’ rights. I am deeply concerned that this legal strategy minimizes the safety and well-being of children in custody disputes.

Great lawyer and true gentlemen.

Eric helped me through the worst time of my life. He is knowledgeable and knows what he is doing, but most importantly, he is kind, a gentleman with professionalism.....he took his time to explain how things work in court, helping me to navigate the process in an appropriate way....Another great thin...g about Eric is that he listens. He was patient and he made it important for him to understand my particular situation and make the best of it. As a result I was able to protect the custody of my daughter...and ensure that she will be well after all. As I said before, he is a true gentleman....and I couldn't be happier with his legal representation...I would recommend Eric to anyone.

You are in excellent hands!

Eric Perlmutter is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. From the moment I was introduced (he came recommended by a colleague in the legal field), I felt comfortable that I was in good hands. He explained all parts of the procedures and during one of the most tumultuous times, left me reassured. He... answered all my questions thoroughly, accurately and in a timely manner. He presented best options and worse case scenarios so my family was informed throughout the process. We were very lucky to have hired him. Highly recommended.

Visitation case assistance

Eric Perlmutter helped my husband with a visitation case after months of not being able to see his kids. He was smart and strategic with all aspects of the case and has even gone above and beyond by making himself available for any questions or concerns we have had since. I would definitely recommend... him to anyone going through a similar issue and will be using his services again if ever needed in the future.

ACS case and custody case

Eric handled my ACS case and child custody case. He was able to establish my paternity and get rid of ACS. Then I had a custody case with the mother and I had Eric handled it. Eric is highly knowledgeble, well prepared and fully committed. I would highly recommend eric.
