Michael A. Perez

When Mr. Perez returned my call, I immediately knew by the insightful questions asked, he was connecting with my case on a deeper level. I literally sensed Mr. Perez processing the information of my case and approaching it the way an artist does—he was departmentalizing steps and complexities of wha...t was involved. He told me he’d need a day to decide, but I ‘knew’ I’d found my attorney, (after a minimum of 25 others turned me down over a 3 month diligent search). He did take the case and I’ve considered it a great blessing. My case has since ended, and in the best way possible. No court, judge, or attorney will ever make you whole, the best you can realistically hope for is the least amount of damage, and the attorney you choose can make an incredible amount of difference in various ways both good and bad. It’s the same as choosing a Surgeon, an Architect, or roofing company; anything that involves your person is taking a risk—staying healthy—keeping safe and being protected is worth your investment, time and research. Michael A. Perez has the innate qualities as a person that you want in an effective attorney; he is honest, authentic, hard-working, analytical, organized, communicative, perseverant and principled. You will not go wrong in choosing him to represent you.

My first career was as a law enforcement officer. I am presently a teacher. When my son got into trouble I was referred to Mr. Rotella. I explained the situation, Mr. Rotella quoted me a retainer fee, and I hired him. Due to the pandemic and court delays, my son's case went on for two years. It was r...ecently dismissed and expunged. I am familiar with the legal system and I would recommend Mr. Rotella without hesitation. I found him to be professional, reliable and diligent and his prices were fair and reasonable. He never asked me for a penny more than the original fee he quoted. He and his assistant, Dianne were sympathetic to my son's situation and were always available for updates on the status of the case. Unlike other law firms, where a partner accepts your case, and then passes it off to a less experienced member of the firm, Mr. Rotella was the only lawyer who worked on this case. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law and with his familiarity with the court system in Essex County.
