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.

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!

Mr. Perry is in my top of favorite people.

I hired Mr. Perry to defend my son in a federal case. Since the very first time I had a good feeling; one year later, the out coming in my son's case confirmed that I was not wrong. Brian Perry is not only the best attorney, he is that human being who understands your frustrations and is able to tran...smit you faith and calm. I would recommend Brian Perry N times to be your attorney.

Look no further than Brian Perry

Brian Perry is an outstanding attorney and a truly good person. He represented my son in a federal criminal case and as a direct result of his efforts my son received the BEST possible outcome for his case. Brian always had time for my family, was compassionate, and due to his rapport with the federa...l prosecutor, we were allowed to meet with him, which we understand almost never happens. That meeting ultimately turned the case against my son from unthinkable to the best it could be. It was clear he is extremely well respected and highly regarded by the US Attorney and the US Federal Judge in our case. During sentencing, the Federal Judge said Mr. Perry’s pre-sentencing package was the best he’d seen in all his years on the bench. I urge anyone looking for a criminal attorney to choose Mr. Brian Perry – he is the best.

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.
