Excellent Attorney

My family hired Mr. Perez when we thought all hope was lost. Mr. Perez got to work immediately and went above and beyond to help my family member with his case. He worked with us and was always there for any type of communication we needed. He exceeded all expectations and was able to do the unimagin...able for my family member. Mr. Perez is not only an amazing attorney, but he is a fantastic person. I felt that he treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. He made us feel as if we were his only client and during this stressful and scary time for our family that meant everything to us. The case ended faster and with better terms than we could have imagined. Our family is thankful to Mr. Perez as an attorney and as a human being for going lengths for our family and allowing us to have quality of life and more time together. We highly recommend Mr. Perez to help you with your case.

Recommendation 100%

Mr.Julio Cesar Perez is a wise & judicious attorney. When presented with my cases course of action Mr.Perez advised me to wait and not accept the plea offer, which turned out to be the correct judgment. I am truly greatful for his recourse & recommend his services to anyone in need of a proper attorn...ey.

Highly recommended

Unfortunately, I was charged with assault for a crime I didn’t commit. It was a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The detective was pressuring me to confess to a crime I wasn’t even a part of. I wasn't even at the crime scene. I just so happened to have a similar car (silver... chevy truck, which is popular), and the “proof” they had was me driving by at a near traffic light... It's just ridiculous. I was picked out of a lineup as the main suspect facing a minimum of 3years, which just goes to show that the process can be wrong. Julio kept me steady and fought for my innocence. I can’t thank him enough. All charges were dropped against me. He is my hero.

My life back

I was charged with the most serious crime a father can be charged with.Two counts of aggravated sexual assault on a familiar minor. I was looking at life in prison but after I spoke to Mr Julio C Perez I knew I had hired the right person to handle my case, he never gave me false expectations, he was ...concise and to the point, he assured me that he would give me 400% of his attention and knowledge to resolve this problem, after 33 days of incarceration I was released on ROR, after extensive fact finding he was able to establish that the alleged statements were false and the charges were dismissed. I owe my life to this great lawyer. Don’t hesitate to hire this man, he is awesome.

Best lawyer in miami

Im leaving this review for Attorney Julio Cesar Perez after what i perceived as one of the most dedicated and truly remarkable displays of hard work in a courtroom. I was formally chargred in a high profile home invasion with a firearm a punishable by life charge in early November of 2018. After a f...ailed attempt to obtain a boot camp plea by another Attorney I came to find Julio who immediately took control of the situation by scheduling multiple depositions of the alleged victim and lead detectives on my case which resulted in creating holes in the prosecutions strong case against me offering me a chance to receive a boot camp plea but he assured me that he could do better and through a couple more legal procedures As a result my charge was reduced to strong arm robbery and I agreed to plea to a Withhold of Adjudication, 4 years probation with credit time served for 10 months in, something which I had believed was impossible without cooperating with the State but he got it done I'm truly grateful for finding not only a lawyer who works hard in and out of the courtroom but also has the best interest of his clients in mind this coupled with the fact that my co defendant had received 10 years for the same charge leaves me with the feeling that this attorney not only did his job to the fullest but gave me a second chance at a better life something for which I am truly grateful for. Hopefully this review will be a determining factor in helping someone obtain his services and save someone else who has fallen victim to the system.
