Knowledgeable and professional

Being new to the area we rely on neighbors to provide references for services we may need and John Perches was exactly as my neighbor described. At our first meeting he reviewed our needs and our concerns for our newly purchased home, wills, and medical POA & directives. Within the same day, we r...eceived draft documents for our review and within a week we were scheduled for a final signing. We are very happy to have Mr. Perches as our local attorney and highly recommend him to others.

Our Family had Estate Obstacles and Questions

John has been wonderful in helping our family navigate the complexities of handling our estate and our parents' estate. His insight, knowledge, and guidance has been a comfort and relief. He has been open, honest and a pleasure to work with and value his responsiveness to questions and in understan...ding our specific needs.

Easily got it done.

Thanks for reaching out to our community with a seminar to provide the knowledge and services we needed to complete our wills. Also for the timely matter to complete the task to provide us with piece of mind while travelling out of the states.

DO NOT USE THIS MAN FOR YOU LEGAL SERVICES.

DO NOT USE THIS MAN FOR YOU LEGAL SERVICES. https://lnkd.in/gecitYkU In November 2021, my father engaged the services of the attorney in question while I was hospitalized due to injuries. Initially, we encountered difficulties in our communication, as he was not consistently in contact with me.... In response to this issue, I inquired whether he was capable of representing me in my case, which, in my judgment, required a substantial amount of attention. The attorney provided me with assurance that he possessed the necessary qualifications to handle my case. He advised us to delay the filing of my personal injury claim until the resolution of my workers' compensation case, so that we could ascertain the full extent of my injuries. It was only later, well over a year from the initial engagement, that I discovered he had sent correspondence to my father's prior address, unbeknownst to me at the time. This correspondence included my entire case file, comprising sensitive legal and medical information, and served as a notification that he could no longer represent me. Fast forward to September 2023, I made attempts to contact the attorney via phone and email, informing him of the impending conclusion of my workers' compensation case. Subsequently, I called him again in October, as my case was nearing its closure. At this juncture, I was apprised of the distressing news that I was devoid of legal representation for my on-the-job accident, an incident that had gravely endangered my life. Furthermore, I was informed that I must file my claim by November 10th, as there exists a statute of limitations. Since that time, I have encountered rejections from four different attorneys, primarily due to the stringent timeline and the complexity and severity of my case. Furthermore, the attorney in question has continued to correspond with me via email, referencing reviews posted by my family on the internet, and asserting that I still have the opportunity to secure legal representation. At the onset of our professional relationship, the attorney had informed me that my case would likely result in a payout of approximately $30,000, and he outlined a customary fee structure where he would take one-third, workers' compensation would take one-third, leaving me with approximately $10,000. I have formally sought the disbursement of the $10,000 sum that was initially pledged during the execution of our service contract. Regrettably, the party in question has declined to communicate their disposition regarding this payment. I felt compelled to express my reservations by communicating that unless they were willing to fulfill their obligation to provide legal representation or accept accountability for any legal malpractice, I would appreciate the cessation of email correspondence, as it is just making me upset. Good luck to anyone who attempts uses this man for legal services. Currently I am filing grievance with the Texas Bar Association.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Perches represented our mutual client on an out-of-state custody matter. Mr. Perches was responsive, informative, and acted quickly to get our client's custody order registered and the necessary writ to have the child returned to her home in Minnesota. I would strongly recommend Mr. Perches in a family law or custody proceeding."

"Johnny Perches is a stand-up lawyer with excellent litigation skills. While some lawyers may claim to dabble in several areas of the law, Johnny excels, zealously representing clients in matters ranging from criminal law to family law and personal injury litigation. If you are looking to hire a lawyer in Wharton County, I would look no further than Johanny Perches."

Unknown lawyer | Aug 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've been around a while. I have dealt with hundreds or thousands of attorneys. John is hands down one of the best lawyers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is as smart as any person, much less lawyer, that I've ever met. He has a unique ability to dissect a complex legal issue for a court and at the same time present facts relating to that complex legal issue in a manner in which any jury can easily understand. He is conscientious. He is ethical. He is engaging. As emphatically as possible, and without any hesitation, I recommend John for any client - from individual to Fortune 500 companies - on any legal matter. If you happen to present John with a matter in which he believes you may be better served by other counsel, he will be the first to tell you so. You will be in great hands with John as your attorney."
