Excellent representation

Julio provided excellent representation. He gave me hope when I was left with none. I could not have asked for better representation and out of state at that. My case was in Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County and for the full duration of his services, I was living out of state. His services for my case w...ere efficient and effective. My charges consisted of trafficking and possession, and he was able to get both trafficking charges completely dropped. On account of the possession, I got the best possible scenario where I entered into only a 3-month, remote program. After the program is completed, my case is closed. I trusted his advice and was extremely happy with the outcome. Julio was responsive, honest, and transparent with me throughout the entire case. He made it to where my involvement and stress load were minimal. I highly recommend him and if needed would hire him again. Thank you, Julio, for everything you did!

Happy and satisfied!

My step father is actually the one who referred Mr. Perez and brought it to my attention that this was the man for the job. After reading his reviews and speaking with him on the phone he made me feel confident that even though I was facing some serious charges he was going to bring the best results ...possible. I honestly didn’t know what I was getting my self into as I never been in trouble with the law before. But I remember Julio telling me one thing, that this was all going to go away I just need to trust him. Sure enough after a couple months he was able to stand on his word and get all my charges dismissed. I’m am very grateful for all his hard work and dedication towards my case. I would definitely recommend Julio to anyone who needs a lawyer and wants the best results possible.

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.

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.

Peace of mind that you are being represented by one of the best

Should you ever need him to represent you or any of your family members, Julio will make sure that everything that can be done in his power will be done. During the most difficult time of my life he explained to me the process, the law, and my options with patience. He gave me the peace of mind I n...eeded because I knew I was being represented by someone who had my best interest in mind. His professionalism is next to none.
