Attorney Seth Peritz has been a practicing Criminal Defense Attorney since 2016. Moving to the Northern Virginia Area after graduating from prestigious William and Mary Law School, he began his career working in a highly sought-after position with the Loudoun County Public Defender’s Office. In 2017, he left to become a private Criminal Defense Attorney at a small criminal defense and immigration firm. While representing criminal defendants on all types of charges, many of whom were noncitizen immigrants, he learned the importance of taking a holistic approach to representation, including understanding a client’s background, career, goals, family, community, and how a criminal charge impacts them individually.
In 2018, Matthew Crowley recruited Seth to work at a firm where he was the then Managing Partner of the Criminal Division. Seth began as an associate and quickly became the firm’s youngest Senior Attorney and a rising star. Seth exclusively represented clients in criminal defense cases, focusing mainly on DWI/DUI defense, drug cases, theft cases, domestic violence cases, and violent crimes.
In 2020, Matthew and Seth began Crowley Peritz Law. This allows them to represent fewer clients and focus on each case even more effectively. Seth genuinely enjoys working with each of his clients and getting to understand their goals. Seth’s sincere interest shows up not just in his courtroom results but in how much his clients like him and make personal referrals to him.

Mr. Peritz was able to get my reckless driving dropped to speeding, which is what I had hoped for. I chose Mr. Peritz to represent me after speaking with almost 10 attorneys.

Responsive and Efficient
I had a reckless driving citation that I believed was for much higher speed than I was actually going. Seth was very responsive in working with me on short notice. He explained my defense options clearly, and was very efficient in getting my charge reduced.
"Seth Peritz really hustles for his clients. He has a ton of energy and uses it to vigorously defend his clients and fight for them in court, and be responsive to them when they need him. He is a knowledgeable and talented attorney."
"Mr. Peritz works hard for his client and is knowledgeable about the law and local courts. He is a valuable asset to the local criminal defense bar."
"Being a great criminal attorney requires the knowledge of how to build out a criminal defense. It’s not easy, it’s time consuming, and some of the work is meticulous and often behind the scenes. To do it, and do it consistently, you must be focused and committed to your client, pay attention to details and willing to do the small things which, in turn, add up to big things. Seth shows up everyday, in every case, and is wholeheartedly committed to the success of his clients. The results he’s achieved, the result published here, are but a small fraction of the satisfied clients that Seth has represented. He’s a tremendous talent, big brained, strong professional ethos that drives his commitment and the results you see here on AVVO. Your case, large or small, simple or complex, will be thoroughly explored, researched, thought-out, and presented to a prosecutor, judge or jury. That’s what great attorneys do - every time. Seth is a great attorney whom I proudly endorse."
