I was in need of a lawyer and I was lucky enough to find Mr. Perches. I was afraid of what my life was going to turn into with the what ifs. After talking to Mr. Perches I realized I was in capable hands so I let him do his job. I went from facing 2 years in State Jail to truly getting my case dismi...

I have known Gerard since he was a young man in high school. I was his football coach, and as such I got to know him very well. In everything he did, he worked extremely hard whether in the classroom or on the field. I knew that whatever Gerard eventually did for a vocation, that he would be a suc...

I would highly recommend Mr. Perches. After being contacted, he got a continuance for a later date. He talked with the court on my behalf and the complaint brought against me was dismissed. It may not seem like he did much, but their was a lot of work to get that to happen. He is a very professiona...
"I am a specialist in immigration law. I used to be an Immigration Judge for 20 years. Now, I'm on the defense side of immigration issues. My clients who have criminal issues need a great criminal defense attorney in the area where Attorney Perches practices. I always recommend him and my clients have obtained excellent results. Very professional attorney who cares about his clients."
"My family has known Gerard Perches for many years. He played football for my dad, and was a teammate of both of my brothers. The teams they played were extremely talented and were of the highest caliber in AISD. Football is big in our family, and my father and brothers still recall how hard Gerard worked during the summer before his Senior season. Unfortunately, he was injured early that year and was not able to have the type of season commensurate with the work he put in to have a large amount of success. I only mention this because this is the type of person Gerard is - a hard worker. I have known him as a colleague in the legal community for many years. Gerard is bright, smart, talented, and has a wide range of experience practicing law. He has my utmost respect, and it my pleasure to make this endorsement. He represents his clients with the right balance of skill and knowledge of the law. I can fully attest that anyone who has Gerard representing them is in great hands."
"I've known Gerard for some time when he was working for the DA's office. He was always thorough and fair and well-respected as a prosecutor. Now that he's on the home team, he continues to be thorough, fair and honest and is a great addition to the roster of attorneys in Williamson County."
"Gerard Perches is a thoughtful and knowledgeable advocate for his clients. When I worked as a prosecutor in Travis County, I had the opportunity to witness Mr. Perches as he worked diligently toward ensuring favorable outcomes for those he represented. I endorse Mr. Perches."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked in the same legal community with Mr. Perches for years and am confident he fights hard for his clients. When you need a lawyer to go to bat for you in your case, Gerard Jesus Perches is your man. He is highly ethical and caring of the needs and concerns of his clients."
"Gerard Perches is an extremely professional attorney. Gerard is always mindful of his clients. He has an excellent success rate and receives accolades from most judges, attorneys and clients that have worked with him. I very highly recommend Mr. Perches."
