Petit Larceny Dismissed!

On November 3, 2024, I reached out to Crowley Peritz Law following an incident that resulted in a petit larceny charge on November 1, 2024. Prior to my engagement with Crowley Peritz, I had consulted with two other attorneys in the vicinity; however, I found myself uncomfortable with the prospect of ...retaining their services. The previous attorneys approached the situation as if it were a mere business transaction, with one paralegal even questioning, "Why should we represent you?" This was not the reassurance I sought during a critical time requiring legal support. On that Sunday, during the late morning hours, I came across an article detailing Seth Peritz's representation of a client involved in the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, commonly referred to as the "Capitol Riot." It became clear to me that I needed to locate Seth and secure his representation. From our initial conversation, Seth exhibited a reassuring demeanor while demonstrating his competence as an attorney. He possesses a thorough understanding of the court system, including the judges and prosecutors, as well as their respective tendencies. His approach is characterized by kindness, compassion, and genuine concern for his clients. He takes into account the broader context of the situation, recognizing not only the charges at hand but also their potential impact on daily life and overall well-being. He provided me with explicit guidance regarding the necessary steps to secure a favorable outcome. In my experience within the helping profession, I have come to understand that while a provider will exert every effort to assist, the onus ultimately lies with the client to engage in the requisite work. Seth outlined the actions I needed to undertake, and I committed to those efforts, which yielded positive results. On December 19, I arrived at the Fairfax County Courthouse, where the detective who had summoned me failed to appear, despite Attorney Seth having issued a subpoena for his attendance. It appeared that the prosecutor was inclined to seek a continuance of the case; however, Seth was actively advocating on my behalf while I observed various cases on the docket. I witnessed individuals accepting plea deals from prosecutors and others grappling with the complexities of the legal process without the benefit of legal representation. This was disheartening, and I found myself expressing gratitude for having found and retained Seth. Eventually, my name was called, and I was not required to approach the podium. I heard the judge declare, "Nolle prosequi." Seth responded, "Thank you, Your Honor," closed his file, and exited the courtroom. I was nearly convinced that I would enter the New Year burdened by this issue; however, Seth's determination proved otherwise. Seth's value is immeasurable, far exceeding the fees he charges. His rates are exceptionally fair, and his responsiveness is commendable. Unlike many law firms where communication is often filtered through paralegals, Seth ensures direct access; he is readily available via email, text, or phone call. His replies are prompt, and in the rare event that he is unable to respond immediately, he will follow up and inform you accordingly. In this society, regardless of the charges one may face or the privileges one may possess, the necessity of retaining legal counsel remains paramount. The adage "History is written by the winners" holds true, and Seth exemplifies this notion as a preeminent attorney in the Virginia region. While I sincerely hope to avoid requiring his services in the future, I aspire to draw upon his extensive knowledge and expertise in my professional endeavors. Seth is truly exceptional, and I pray for his continued health and well-being, so that he may assist those in need of his legal acumen.

Excellent Attorney!

Seth was amazing, he did the impossible. I had 3 charges pertaining DUI that I didn’t think I could get out of. Driving with open container, elevated BAC and suspended lisence. He took my case to trial and I received a not guilty verdict. Seth was always available on text to answer any questions I ...had since this was my first run in with the law. He explained everything including terms I didn’t understand throughout the process and during the trial. He invited me to his office to go over the body cam video which helped me feel more prepared for the court date. He was very honest with the possible outcomes but was very confident that we would win. Seth was also very kind enough to offer me a payment plan to his already reasonable rate. Seth is my now go to attorney and I 100% recommend!

Got a case? Choose Seth for best outcome!

If you hire Seth, which I recommend you do, he will always be available through text and call ( I personally preferred text.) His rates are VERY reasonable compared to other lawyers in the area, but I don't know them and I know Seth. He will explain literally every single detail that can be contested.... In my case, Seth reduced 40 days jail time to 4 days because he took the time to look through all of the evidence (video, reports). As a result, I still have my job. Seth is not a magical solution to all your problems, but if there is something in your case that can be contested, Seth will find it and discuss it with you. In addition, he was able to recommend a consult within 24 hours with an Immigration Attorney for me since I am not a citizen at the moment. I am not rich enough to have an attorney on retainer at the moment, but I fully endorse Seth's capabilities as a lawyer. If you're facing any kind of charge, consult Seth (full disclosure: as of this review, I know him only for traffic/DUI charges). I will recommend Seth to anyone who needs a consult - friends, family, and for you on the internet. To anyone reading this, I don't know you situation, but if you can afford to choose your own lawyer, Seth will deliver the best results. He does not shy away from trails and he fights for his clients. The ultimate decision will rest with you, but talk to Seth and he will negotiate legal outcomes that are closest to what you were hoping for.

Vikrant, it was a pleasure working with you. I am glad to have been able to minimize the charges and consequences in your case.

Posted by Leslie | November 16, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Thankful and relieved!

I had been pulled over for speeding and was deemed reckless driving in Virginia because it was 20 mph over the posted limit and is treated as a misdemeanor. This was very stressful & scary to think this would be on my record for future employment. I had an otherwise good record so with his recommend...ation of taking an online driving course, the reckless driving charge was amended from 63/40 to 49/40 speeding infraction and a fine of $100 in court. I am very thankful and relieved with the outcome. I would recommend his services to anyone requiring representation in Virginia traffic court. He was helpful, profesional, responsive and effective with reasonable rates.

It was a pleasure to work with you. We are very glad we could help.

Pleased

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. His communication was always relevant and he was always available or would call back. As a bonus, his firm's rate was very com...petitive.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
