Grateful for Mr. Perlman

I met Mr. Perlman 20 yrs ago when my son 17 was looking at 6 yrs prison and a felony on his record at 17 yrs old. Mr. Perlman was the kindest most compassionate lawyer I've ever met. He always spoke kindly to my son and instructed him how to present himself in he court, he made sure my son understood... and always returned calls. It was a blessing to have Mr.Perlman as my sons lawyer. He treated my son like his own, that meant so much to us. My son got the YOUTH TRAINING ACT. which meant no felony on his record. I never forgot Mr.Perlman. Fast forward to recently, my grandson same age, looking at felony, I told my daughter lets find Mr. Perlman. MR. JEFFERY W. PERLMAN (do not confuse with any other). I had full confidence he would handle our case with compassion, professionally and full knowledge of the law. He has a good reputation with the judges. My grandson also received YTA status and 11 mos. probation. We are very grateful to know Mr .Perlman and I highly recommend him.

Jeffrey Perlman saved my future and cleared my named.

Jeffrey Perlman was my attorney for a criminal sexual conduct case that I was charged with while I was attending college. I had no prior experience dealing with legal issues and I felt hopeless challenging this case even though I knew I was innocent. Jeff was intelligent, tenacious, and confident whe...n he took on my case, but was always honest and never made any promises to me. He was easy to communicate with and always made time to work with me to prepare me for trial. I truly appreciated how he helped me navigate through a very difficult trial system and I felt he represented me tremendously well at every court date I had. My case went to a full jury trial with many witnesses coming forward, but Jeff was prepared and his experience in the courtroom was evident. Throughout the trial Jeff always kept me confident and always communicated well with my family to help them understand what was going on each day. Jeffrey Perlman saved my life with his criminal defense experience and the jury unanimously found me innocent of all charges against me. I highly recommend Jeffrey Perlman to anyone that may face a case similar to mine or to any student that runs into legal issues that may arise during college.

An Excellent Criminal Attorney!!!

Mr. Perlman is an experienced and knowledgeable defense attorney. He handled our case efficiently and smoothly. Most of all, he allayed our fears and anxieties, which was so helpful throughout our ordeal. He provided all pertinent information needed for us to understand how the legal system works, in...formed us what to expect and not expect and he took care of us 100%. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney . I have been recommending his services for many years.

number 1 Attorney

Jeffrey Perlman is one of the number 1 Attorney in Michigan my family has used him twice as a defense attorney in my case I was lied on by a quote on quote victim whose son robbed assaulted me then pulled a gun on me and then he ended up catching a case and was going to prison this lady tried to bury... me by making up lies trying to get me put in jail because her son went to prison for the crimes that he did to me. this case is very complicated because there was a lot of lies piled on top of lies in the beginning I was very stressed because I didn't know what was going to happen because I knew what this lady was trying to do once I hired Jeffrey Perlman a lot of that went away and a lot of the stress went away and he would always tell me no worries my friend and that's exactly what it was and I ended up getting a misdemeanor I needed that Attorney that was going to properly present me and that whats he did so with saying that I would say that he's one of the number 1 Attorney in Michigan
