Felony Defense Client

The BEST Defense Attorney!!! I had a difficult felony case and Perry saved my life!! He is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He is confident and most importantly he is honest. He always kept me informed and worked harder on my behalf than anyone I have ever known. If you need legal ...assistance I recommend you give Perry a call immediately!!

A family Law Attorney extraordinaire

I was referred to the Minton, Burton, Foster and Collins by a girlfriend. I needed an attorney who was professional, vested, had a sound understanding of the law, detailed, direct and empathic. When I called the firm and Mr Perry Q. Minton responded, there was something about the telephone preview ...consultation that indicated this may be the representation I needed for a very sensitive child custody modification hearing. From our initial face to face meeting through the entire hearing he has been the epitomy of professionalism, assertiveness and knowlege. Mr Minton was very thorough in extracting the facts and details of my case, researching the applicable rule of law, providing legal options and efficiently advising me through the process. Both him and his staff at MBFC contributed to a very successful outcome. No former firm or attorney has treated me with such dignity and respect. He met and exceeded all of my expectations as stated earlier. I am thankful for Mr. Perry who found my story "interesting" and made a decision to take on my case. I highly recommend him for future family law cases.

A life Saver..........

Perry Minton has to be the hardest working attorney I have ever met in my life. As soon as I hired Perry we went from a complete standstill of over 3 years of time wasted, to fast moving with results around every bend. I never knew that our legal system was only as good as the Talent you hire. I was ...wrongly accused & charged with a crime that would have landed me in state prison for many years and I was absolutely getting no where with the counsel I retained. I contacted Perry Minton and he really took the reigns, he quickly learned all the details of my case and moved on it. Perry always had updates for me at all times and every step. He also provided me with the knowledge so I could understand what was involved with my case. I had been living in complete fear for almost 3 years prior to hiring Perry, I felt like my life was on a month to month lease, I had 38 court appearances and nothing with my previous attorney. Once I had Perry on my side the fear went away and I started to see hope in the Judicial system. The thing that gave me hope was the Passion that Perry exerted, and also the special care of helping me emotionally through this ordeal. The experience that Perry has if amazing, he grew up in and around the court system all of his life. After a short time I hired Perry, I found myself and my case dismissed. Perry is a good genuine person, he's part of my family now, he saved my family & my life. I thank him dearly.

Great Austin Lawyer

I found myself in need of legal representation and was referred to Perry Minton at Minton, Burton, Foster and Collins. I quickly discovered why he was so highly recommended. After he determined what my particular situation was going to need, everything was explained to me in a way that was clear ...and easy to understand. Any questions I had were always answered quickly and Mr. Minton made himself available as needed. I never once felt I was on my own. I can say the same for everyone I worked with at his firm. As the process moved forward my options were always explained and recommendations were given to me. I felt prepared and knew what to expect and was always confident Mr. Minton was ready to handle whatever came up. I think in this type of situation it is crucial to trust the person you are counting on to help you. Perry Minton instilled that trust from the very beginning by always being honest and forthcoming. I knew my best interest was the focus and everything that needed to be accomplished was, and it was done with integrity. I walked away from my situation protected and taken care of and it was done without underhanded tricks that just would have made things more expensive and complicated. Mr. Minton's commitment to his clients is authentic and commendable. His expertise and ability are out-shined only by his integrity. I was so thankful to have him on my side while dealing with the most difficult situation I have ever had to. I could not have made a better choice for my attorney.
