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!!

Active Duty Military facing Felony Charges

I’m going to choose to keep my identity anonymous for personal reasons but I was arrested recently and a firearm was involved in the incident and I was facing multiple felony charges. Brian Perry came highly recommended to me and I could see why as soon as I met him. He is very straight forward and t...o the point. I felt like even though he had other clients he was working with simultaneously that he was still able to manage my case and all of the others with maximum efficiency. He got my initial hearing waived. He pulled strings for me. He went above and beyond to help me out and I really appreciate his decimation to doing that. His legal represantion saved my Military Career. All of my charges got dropped and I never even had to appear in court. He’s extremely easy to work with and given the circumstances of my case and how little I had to do to get out of everything, the flat rate he gave me was more than reasonable. I’m not even from Pennsylvania but If you want to feel completely safe and not nervous about anything I highly recommend hiring this attorney.

Great Attorney who really cares about the individual & family.

As the result of our son's poor decision making and circumstances we found ourselves in a predicament that required an attorney and rock solid advise. Fortunately we had no previous experience with legal matters, we hired an attorney without local relationships & knowledge of the jurisdiction (big mi...stake). Once we realized our mistakes, Brian & his team came highly recommended to us. The moment Brian took over the case the entire situation became manageable. He and his team were fantastic through the process. They kept us well informed of what was going on, encouraged our son to participate in the process so the outcome would be successful. This was a very difficult period for our family, Brian's professionalism on legal advise as well as his personal caring for his clients were exceptional. We achieved the results we sort after, with the patience & solid representation carried out by Brian. We would highly recommend Brian Perry & his entire team when legal advise & representation.

Knowledgable, Compassionate, Quick

My son was charged with a Felony. His previous attorney said, my son would get 7 years in the State Penitentiary, to me this seem excessive since it was the first time my son has ever been in trouble with the law. The same attorney, a few weeks later, informed us my son's case was being sent to Fed...eral court. I immediately went to the internet and found Brian Perry. I called Brian Perry and we made an appointment for the next day. After meeting with my son and I, Brian wasted no time, he immediately called the Federal prosecutor with the hope of stopping my sons case from going Federal. It took almost a year, but Brian never gave up on my son. Brian Perry was able to persuade the Federal court not to prosecute my son. Brian Perry's diligence and perseverance is why my son is now serving 11 1/2 months in the county prison and we are extremely happy. I am so thankful we hired Brian Perry! If you are looking for an attorney who will work for your best interest and is honest and caring and fair. Then Brian Perry is that attorney!

Quick, Efficient and Personable

My cousin who goes to school in Harrisburg got involved in some serious trouble at his apartment. I am the only family he has in the country and it was about a week's worth of time for him in the prison before we were notified. I live in Texas and was unaware of anyone in the legal space. Did some re...search and was referred to Brian stating "HE IS WHO YOU NEED TO TALK TO". Brian did not disappoint. Within (2) days of hiring Brian, we got him out of prison and soon after reunited him with his family in India. Brian had the connections, experience and knowledge to work this case quickly and efficiently. He was very easy to talk to and he broke down the system for someone like me who is not in this space. It seemed like he really cared for every one of his clients. I would highly recommend talking to Brian Perry before hiring any lawyer to fight your case. Five stars all the way. Thank you Brian.
