Perry's A Good Man

Mr. Minton and I met over 18 mos ago. Out of the gate I believed he had the "can do" spirit, ethics and attitude to lead me through the sometimes fist to cuffed challenges of defending a client through a complex world called the Texas Judicial System. That system has an important job to do, no dou...bt. Thats why it's a must to hire a man who will crawl in the fighting hole with you. Perry is that man. He promised me a fight and he, hands down no question fought to protect my rights and God willing we were able to protect them. Few cases are cut and dry. He and his team are not afraid to dig in. Their not afraid of much of anything from what I saw. I haven't felt like another guy was dug in the trenches with me and had my back who I had only just met in many years. The decision of who would represent me wasn't immediate... I met with a few before Perry. That said, after meeting Perry, I'd say my decision was made in +\- 5 MINUTES or so. I believed he was legit, we spoke the "same language". I knew I was willing to make the decision to let him take the wheel. My gut was right because he worked like hell to save me, my name and my rights. I never saw doubt in his eyes; he was always ready to get some. He's professional, straight forward, believes in his craft and works incredibly well with whomever he comes in contact with on both sides of the table. If you need an attorney at law, do not sell yourself short. I believe you too will rest easy with Perry and his educated and talented team, especially Mary. She is solid. Hire him and shoot the man straight so he can take care of your matter. He's my friend, not because of the outcome but because he kept his word to me all along and kept me in check.

Intelligent, Thorough, Passionate

I found myself in a dire family situation last year. Mr. Minton took my case head-on, and grasped the nuances of a vast array of family dynamics, in addition to becoming extremely well-versed in the very complicated medical issues surrounding my children. Additionally, my case presented a number of u...nique jurisdictional issues, which Mr. Minton and his firm handled with aplomb. Something that separates Perry Minton from other lawyers is that he genuinely cares about his clients. He remembers details of one's case that might go under the radar with another, less attentive attorney. He is highly respectful, compassionate, and he defends his clients fervently and intelligently. Mr. Minton has a likable personality and is intelligently aggressive when need be. It is clear that he is well liked and well respected by his colleagues and by the court. Perry Minton instilled confidence in me and in my situation during what was easily one of the darkest moments of my life. I cannot emphasize enough what an excellent advocate Perry Minton is. I was very pleased with the results of his work on my behalf and on behalf of my children. There are moments in the courtroom that I will always remember, as Mr. Minton did such an exemplary job of representing me in court. He is dedicated to defending his client. This is the attorney you want on your side.

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.
