Best attorney Ever !!

Ditto to all the great reviews !! He is all those things and much more!! Incredible attorney !! Our case was overwhelming and he took care of us! We were not offered a plea bargain, straight to trial. Two felonies manslaughter and negligent homicide. A car accident that was truly a tragic accident b...ut charges were filed anyway. It is true Perry brings in highly experienced people on his team. These things can be so complicated. In court Perry was exceptional. He knows when to be humble, but never intimated, and when he needed to be fierce he was!! Three day trial with not guilty on both charges!! (The jury took Under 30 minutes to decided) We are forever grateful ! Still our friend today !

The Best Lawyer in Austin

In despair I called his office at 5:15 on a week night 3 days before my daughters 1st court appearance. I received a call back at 9:00 pm from Mr. Minton. He put me at ease immediately and told me he would help us. By the time we went in to our consultation the 1st court date had been reset and he h...andled everything from there. This man was my Angel. I had never needed a lawyer for anything much less my teen child. He worked with us when no one else would return calls and the court appointed attorneys couldn’t help us. I would recommend Mr Minton to everyone.

Don’t settle for less

When up charged with a burglary of a habitation, felony 2, I turned to Perry Minton for legal counsel. He was very quick to obtain the charge info and officer notes and immediately shared his thoughts on how to facilitate the best defense for me. He was very transparent that dismissal was the stret...ch goal and that it would take significant work and many pieces would be required to align to make this happen. From our first meeting I knew he was professional, persistent, deliberate, genuine and knowledgeable of the law and also the DAs office as he had worked hard to build a strong working relationship so that he could better support his clients. Perry’s ability to know the pulse of a case including defendants, lawyers and judges helped with setting up a face to face with the victims, per DA approval, which eventually lead to a dismissal. I cannot thank him and his office enough for the support they provided me as well as my family and would highly recommend Perry for all criminal matters if you want to best shot at beating your case as he did for me. His worth and value he provides for his clients is far greater than the cost of his services.

Blessed to have had Perry on my case!

I was referred to Perry Minton and his team by a close friend. Our Family Custody Jury Trail was very complex and sensitive. We fought long and hard for our move case outcome and we won. All jurors agreed with our side and Perry couldn't have done a better job than to show the jurors the truth. H...e not only was my attorney but very quickly became a dear friend who not only cared for my best interest but the best interest in my son. He truly fights fair, no matter how crooked the other side gets. His heart and soul shows up in the court room each and every time and his staff operates in the same fashion. Very lucky to have an amazing attorney on my side.
