Jeffrey w Perlman saved me

I had a bad evening when my bf came home drunk, and yelling. I ended up being charged w/a felony assault case and as I was driving away from my house, I got pulled over and there was a gun in the car along with his Drugs. I didn’t know where there.. I called my father who told me to call Jeffrey W P...erlman, whose father had represented my father. This was in Wayne County 2021 and immediately told me not to worry, even though if it was a mandatory two year felony firearm on the case. I was a nervous wreck and he would always tell me not to worry , and that he will tell me when it’s time to worry. I paid him upfront in the beginning a lot of money and then every time we went to court it was More(as agreed) I always had the money he never had to ask. He got the felony firearm thrown out r with a letter to the Gun Board, which we worked on together . after that we had the case scheduled for a jury trial, but they wouldn’t get rid of the felony firearm if I went to a jury trial . This Perlman ended up getting me straight probation and it was non reporting probation because it was my first case and they got rid of the felony firearm charge. Mr. Perlman said he knew they would. Do not confuse him with there’s more than one Perlman out there. He’s been doing this 40 years or more and everyone knows him he spends too much time shaking hands and laughing it up. He’s very cool.

There are two Jeffrey Perlman I am the one with 41 years experience whose family has been in life since 1955

I am Jeffrey W Perlman, but if you look at Google, I’m getting all the reviews for a different person with my name. On Evo I have great reviews except for the obvious too, which are not talking about me in fact one mention that he didn’t get credit for time services, which is illegal in a total lie l...ie.

TRUST THE PROCESS

I’d like to thank Jeff, with helping me so much through my struggles. It was often times difficult amongst the uncertainty. However, he told me I had nothing to worry about and that I was in good hands. Over 3 years, it was true. And we were victorious. NOT GUITY ON ALL CHARGES. I thank him for his p...atience with me. I know it’s probably hard to hear if you’re going through this but….I believe he will shoot it straight. If he says it’s fine, just trust the process and look forward to living your life! I wish you all the best.
