Highly recommended criminal defense lawyer

We hired Brian Perry for representation on a case to be heard in Federal Court. From the initial consultation he fully explained all of the steps that would be taking place. Brian was always available to answer questions or address any concerns we had. He was a comforting and supportive influence ...throughout the entire stressful process. Brian is a talented and experienced criminal defense lawyer who I would highly recommend to anyone needing criminal defense representation at the local, state or federal level.

Brian Perry Esquire, Is truly preeminent amongst defense attorneys.On behalf of my felony case because of Mr.Perry I have been exonerated.I initially reached out to several attorneys in the beginning but all had different opinions that weren’t adequately conducive to my best interests.Brian Perr...y was straight forward and strategically planned the solution for my case.In the end I am now vindicated.I have a clean slate with no paper trail.He is worth the money.Pay for less then get less results.Justice is not cheap but at least now I can sleep peacefully at night.Brian Perry saved the day and I thank him for representing me .

Brian saved my freedom and my life!!

I was arrested and charged by Harrisburg Police of a felony stolen vehicle charge. Taken down at gunpoint by multiple police vehicles. A possible sentence of a 10 yrs in prison. I was innocent and had paperwork but the police nor the judges were willing to hear me. Brian was phenomenal he called th...e DA immediately to explain my situation and fought hard for my justice till I was freed. Even after case was over he continued to work hard to get my records expunged and my name cleared. He’s not only helped me but others I know. Brian’s got a true heart and an inspiration. Keep fighting the good fight. Don’t waste your time elsewhere hire him !!

Outstanding Representation!

Attorney Perry was retained to defend a family member who found himself in a very serious legal quagmire. He had made a mistake without considering the legal implications of his actions. Attorney Perry was highly recommended by a friend in law enforcement. From the outset, Brian was blunt and ...clear about what might and might not happen. He clearly outlined all legal options and explained that his past experience as a prosecutor allowed him the insight to predict likely outcomes. Over the course of the judicial process (over a year), it became very clear that Brian's experience, credibility within the legal community (to include the DA's office), and genuine wish to help his client were all factors that ultimately led to a surprisingly favorable outcome in court. While I cannot speak to others' experiences with Attorney Perry, I can confidently state that I don't believe that there is another attorney in Central PA that could have negotiated such a favorable outcome for my family member.

Homicide Acquittal

Brian was excellent, He saved my sons life! He was charged with first degree murder and with Brian's hard work and commitment to the case we received a justifiable self defense verdict from a jury of NOT his peers. Brian found a way to balance answering our families million and one nervous question...s and continued to remain focused on the case (Without getting frustrated). Brian researched every option to resolve the case prior to trial but the DA refused to see this case as anything other than first degree murder. His real talent comes in the court room where he seemed most comfortable, he was head and shoulders above the DA. We can't thank him enough. HE SAVED MY SON'S LIFE!!! Brian's PSW&Z Team is incredible and I can't forget his investigator BERNIE!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
