Months ago I found myself in a situation that I thought I’d never be in. I was wrongfully arrested for a dui and I didn’t know where to turn to until someone recommended Lee Pearlman. From the second he heard my situation he said “we’re going to war” and that’s what we did. I followed his word and got me exactly what I needed, justice. I didn’t think it was possible but this man and his team will fight for you like no one else could. I am forever in his debt(not financially) and could not be more thankful to have met someone who cares about the people and preserving the justice system. Please, if you or someone you know needs a lawyer to get your back, look no further than Denmon Pearlman Law. I am forever grateful that they represented me and you will be as well!
I retained Lee Pearlman to represent me in a difficult and sensitive matter. He is incredibly tenacious and he was able to achieve a fantastic resolution that did not seem possible at the outset of the case. I cannot recommend Lee enough if you are looking for quality legal representation in the Tampa Bay area.
Lee Pearlman was born and raised in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, a small town just outside of Harrisburg. He went to Northern York County High School, and attended college at the University of Maryland, College Park where he received two bachelor of arts degrees and two minors. Lee also studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia for 6 months in 2002. While in college he enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve and served two years in the Military Police. After college Lee moved to St. Petersburg where he attended Stetson University College of Law. While there Lee was a member of Stetson's top nationally ranked Trial Team and Alternative Dispute Resolution Board. He was the recipient of the Ralph Harris Ferrel Competition Award and The National Order of Barristers for his performance on those teams. Lee also served a judicial internship with the Honorable Donald E. Horrox in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Pinellas County.
After graduation Lee accepted a position with the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office, where he also interned during law school. During his time as an Assistant State Attorney Lee tried over 87 jury trials, ranging from 1st degree felonies to 2nd degree misdemeanors, including all traffic related citations and crimes. He served in county, traffic, and felony courts and dealt with every aspect of criminal law, including writing multiple successful appeals and handling Executive Assignments from the Office of the Governor.
After leaving the State Attorney's Office Lee accepted an associate position. As an associate Lee handled all aspects of criminal defense, including trials, motions, and appeals on behalf of his clients.
Lee is now a partner at the law office of Denmon Pearlman along with husband and wife, Christian and Nicole Denmon. Their sole focus and attention of the firm is their clients as they believe constant access and communication should always be available to those who put their faith in Denmon Pearlman. With this belief and the desire to help people in their time of need, Lee, Christian and Nicole believe themselves to be situated to help their clients achieve the best outcomes with the least amount of stress, fear, and complications possible.

Always the FIRST call you should make for legal services!!!
When it comes to needing legal help, you better believe I will only hire the absolute BEST... the stakes are just way too high not to! Lee Pearlman should not just be the first call you make, but also the ONLY call you make.
When I hired Lee to help me, I never could have imagined the service level I would receive combined with the results that exceeded all expectations. I've spent more time sitting in a fast food drive thru line than I ever did for anything Lee needed to resolve my legal issue.. and still deliver an outcome that exceeded my expectations!
They should build statues of his likeness in every law school across the country... he is THAT great at what he does!!
Great communication, great execution, top notch professionalism, and most important... GREAT RESULTS. Grateful for this man! Thank you Lee, God bless you sir!

Your search ends here Lee is phenomenal
Lee Pearlman was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options were limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Lee was able to defend a member of my family from an unjust accusation, his empathetic demeanor and determination was inspiring and we knew we were in good hands. I am eternally grateful for his service and I recommend Lee and his firm to anyone who needs a compassionate, caring and impressive lawyer.

Simply the Best!
Lee is a straight shooter who does what he says. Our family was so impressed with Lee. He was caring and compassionate during our case and provided results beyond expectations. He is also highly respected by his peers and those in the courtroom. If you need a defense attorney and want the best, look no further than Lee. There's a reason why he has nothing but five star reviews.

I Called this law firm at the lowest point in my life. I was shaken, afraid, and had no idea where to turn or what to expect. From my very 1st phone call with Mr. Lee pearlman he was caring and non judgmental. I left our 1st meeting feeling renewed like I had someone on my side that could help me navigate through the process and understand what was ahead. The communication and professionalism from everyone that i encountered from this firm, over the phone and in person, has been top tier. I couldn't have prayed for a better team on my families side. I'm forever greatful!

"I had the pleasure of working with Lee when he was employed with our firm. Lee is one of those special rare lawyers that has both a charming persuasive personality and is very knowledgeable on the law. He is well liked and respected in the legal community.

Criminal defense Attorney | Aug 24
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Mr. Pearlman and I were on opposite sides of the courtroom many times when I was a prosecutor. One time stands out in particular. Him and I were opposing counsel on a matter that went to jury trial. Throughout all phases of the trial Mr. Pearlman was a shining example of professionalism. In every jury trial you disagree with the attorney across the courtroom. In very few do you truly respect the person across the courtroom. Mr. Pearlman is, in my opinion, one of the top 5 trial attorneys in Tampa/St. Pete. (As a side note, in the trial mentioned above Mr. Pearlman received a not-guilty verdict for his client.)"
