Truly Thankful

I was fighting a drug/alcohol offense. After what seemed like a doomed, up-hill battle, I later retained the legal services of Jeff W. Perlman. Mr. Perlman did an amazing job. With his knowledge & skill, he managed to turn my case around & have it reduced to a misdemeanor traffic violation (no probat...ion or time) He truly cares & listens to his clients. With passion for his job, confidence & excellent communication, he definitely put my mind at ease knowing my future was in good hands. What a wonderful attorney. Thanks, Jeff. I will highly recommend your services.

chose wisely. Full of it.

This guy is the worst decision we have made. He over charged us and promised the sky; Claimed he knew the judges well from his long career and fathers career and can get a good deal. He did not even prepare and said he could not do noting when we were in court. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

Do NOT hire this guy.

Please choose wisely, and do not choose Jeff. He did nothing for me. I wish I would have seen these reviews before we hired him. He is totally a fool. Shows up in his polyester suit. Did nothing to prepare for the case. Sold us a great song and dance, making huge promises. Then when he got the pol...ice report, basically told us there was nothing he could do, and that is exactly what he did...nothing! (Except take our CASH!!!) He at one point asked for more money, and threatened not to show up to one of the court appointments if we could not come up with more money. He did show, but might as well not have been there, he was not prepared and let the prosecuting attorney walk all over us. Spent 90 in local jail, got credit for ONE day thanks to JEFF!!! Do not hire this idiot! Please read the reviews and just like the other people have said, there are 4 or 5 all written on the same day.....looks fishy to me too!!!

Replied last March 13, 2019

I’ve been practicing criminal law for 35 years and my father before me. The judges and the judges families have known me and my family for over 60 years. I never lie. This person is a lawyer who wrote 2 bad reviews. The judges and the judges families have known me and my family for over 60 years. I never lie. Never once in my career has the judge given my clients the high-end of the guidelines. Only one rape trial with a client last in front of a jury did he get hammered and he was a serial rapist. I’ve Never worn a polyester suit. Not that there’s anything wrong with it I don’t even know what it looks like. Judges always give credit for time served, and I know this is a total lie because he would not of gotten credit only credit for one day. There is another Jeffrey Perlman who is just started practicing maybe they’re talking about him

Jeffrey Perlman got me my second hyta!!!

This is the second time Jeff has saved me from having felonies on my record. Got me hyta about 2 years back and another hyta my second time for 10 felony charges and with his help I’m only serving 6 months in a facility when I should’ve been facing atleast 2 years minimum to 17 years in prison for ve...ry serious charges. His non-stop fighting with my case saved my life and gave me a second chance with Hyta as a young adult. If you care about your future and your record this is the attorney that will do everything in his power to get you the right deal. He will also make sure you keep a cool head and keep you up to date with everything that’s happening!!!

Awesome lawyer

Awesome Lawyer. He fought for my son like he was his own. He worked very hard to keep my son out of jail. Not only did Jeffrey keep my son from doing time but his knowledge and determination got the case dismissed. I will recommend him to everyone that needs a lawyer.
