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.

Highly recommended

First I want to start by saying I’m not one to leave reviews, good or bad but feel compelled to write this review on my experience with Mr. Perez. To sum it up and give you the “jist” of it, my 18 year old son got into trouble with the law for a street fight, as you can imagine I was devastated as my... son is a great kid, an A student and unfortunately due to a bad decision this was his first fight ever and he ended up being arrested. After calling a few attorneys in my area, I wasn’t convinced any of those were for us as they were all short in conversation with me and did not show any signs of someone that actually cared, the emphasis was on how much $ it could be. A friend recommended I call Mr. Perez and speak with him for guidance, I cannot begin to tell you how different this call was, during my initial call with Mr Perez he spoke to me with much confidence, he was professional and also “human” as he sympathized with the pain I was feeling, he spoke to me for quite a length of time, always assuring me these things happen and explaining how the legal system works. I hung up that call feeling a sense of relief and somewhat joyful and knew in my heart he was the right attorney for us. I called him the next day and hired him to represent my son, this is the best decision I could’ve made, Mr. Perez was attentive, extremely professional, compassionate, smart and witty. My son’s case was finally settled after a little over a year (delays due to Covid) and am happy to say my son got the most favorable outcome given the situation. I highly recommend Mr. Perez and am forever grateful for the attention he gave to my son and I and most of all for his professionalism and big heart.

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.

Truly one of a kind.....

I can say I have been fortunate to have met Julio under very unfortunate circumstances. I was arrested under a very complicated coke/traf/attempt case in which there was unfortunately video surveillance among other things not to mention the amount involved. I am being a little specific here so those ...who know or are going through similar unfortunate circumstances understand the amount of trouble I was in. You will be hard pressed to find an attorney with more knowledge and ability to stay calm under pressure than Julio. Not only I was able to see him in the late hours of the night but he was proactive enough to be in court next morning first thing and actively engage the prosecution with a clear plan of action. Long story short, I did not serve a day and received an agreement with a few years probation with no cooperation. Today I'm lucky enough to have Julio as friend and as a family member I may add who to this date continue to call upon him for advise and support no matter what the circumstances are. I have recommended him since to anyone who needs a thorough, empathetic non judgmental attorney who puts his client first and fights for every inch next to you until the outcome he wants gets done.

Extraordinary Attorney but Most Importantly: Simpathetic

Julio Cesar Perez is one of a kind. His is very knowledgeable and professional. He maintained me informed throughout my entire legal process that lasted 5 years! He was very resourceful, concise and honest. Speaking/meeting with Julio on a regular basis decreased my anxiety level as he helped underst...and each part of the process and set reasonable expectations as we went along. Julio was always sympathetic and treated me with respect. Often times, I needed reassurance and just somebody to hear me out and calm my fears and there he was, making me feel at ease and giving me every little ounce of hope without underestimating my feelings and/or thoughts. Should you need to seek the help of a criminal attorney, do not ever hesitate to retain him. Julio Cesar Perez has been paramount in my life and in my family's as he helped me get out my most horrible nightmare with grace, professionalism and an excellent outcome.
